Yup - likewise.

The SW threads are regularly visited for such.

While this ain't a poster, it should be.
Its fan art from a pro, Phil Noto. http://philnoto.tumblr.com/

We ever figure out where Luke is? Or did we decide he is on the posters? Hiding in plain sight?

That is too bad man. It sounds like it would have been a great guide to have a copy of. If you find it in the future, I would be interested in seeing it. This is the primary reason I put an external solid state drive on my Christmas List!!!

There are really only 3 to 6 or 2 each from Star Empire Jedi posters I want. I know there is a lot of paper for those 3 films, and I do love the films as much as most, but I will leave these to the hardcore Star Wars collectors. I already have 100+ of the Vintage figs. Original At-At, At-St, land speeder, scout bikes, Falcon, Rancor Monster and a few blaster. They are not mint or NIB, but they are my childhood toys and for me that is more valuable.  I am torn between a large display box to hang in my future theater room, or something like this http://scifidesign.com/2015/11/05/this-shadow-box-coffee-table-will-display-your-star-wars-figures/. Got a bit off topic there.....if I do have any questions I know where to send them! Thank you

Those were the days before I was doing programming for a living and did not know better. These days I have multiple backup on and off site.

If I do run across it I will post it all for free. Worst case scenario it will be redone and put up on posterfrom.com anyway so either way it will make it out there again it is just a matter of how long will it be. Finding the original being fastest of course.

I gave up the figure quest when it started to get out of hand imo in the late 90's. Had a real solid collection of first movie figures including at that time the only known carded double telescoping Luke as well as carded and bagged Vader and Ben. The only think I never bought was a rocket firing Fett. Never really collected the vehicles and such though do love a lot of them. Grew up with SW and some of them still bring powerful childhood memories back. Believe it or not my strongest though is not associated with a toy but instead one of the Burger King glasses.

For my money I would have go with the wall display rather than the table myself.

I wasn't going to let this out of the bag but Disney wouldn't pay me in posters to keep my mouth shut. Luke is indeed in plain site. He had his consciousness downloaded into C-3PO so he would live forever.

In an interview with Hamill he actually squashed the rumor and said he is not Ren but would not explain more than that. Whether that is true or not is another story as it may be more marketing by Disney to build on the mystery. All I can say is that I will know the answer in 24 days.

I never sought after the figs like this, though I do look at what these guys post on facebook. www.facebook.com/9holygrails/ or forum.rebelscum.com
I only have the stuff from my childhood. Which is all open and well played with. It would nonetheless make for a nice display/decoration.
I am not familiar with the Burger King Glasses you mentioned?!?
I think I agree the wall display would be a better for long term. The coffeetable is more novelty.

Wish I had the toys from when I was a kid but only have the glasses, won't complain, better than nothing. You are lucky though compared to many.

The burger king glasses was a set of four put out for each of the three original movies.

This is probably buried in the archives somewhere, but I thought I'd post it again.
Museum is a private local place, packed with a gazillion toys.

That looks a fun place to poke around!

Didn't see these posted yet...official homage posters for Force Awakens (not sure if they're printed or just digital though). Apart from the fake fold lines, I think they tap that nostalgia vein nicely:

It has to be 2016 because of a cap on the number of International films allowed to be released in China in a year.

Yes, China does not allow any movies to open in December. The release date is January 9, 2016.

It is kind of weird how they have given less emphasis to certain characters. I'm not sure what that says about the intended audience.
