Hey, Ben...pardon my ignorance, but what do dat mean?  Midicholorian?
Ha, I dont think Lucas even knows.  He is bat-shit insane now.

How one can make something as fun as Star Wars and turn it into an intergalactic episode of General Hospital is beyond me.

It's amazing that someone would buy that.  Maybe there will be some Yoda buff who will pay as much as the person who bought the "virgin Mary grilled cheese".   :D

Hey Neo, I have a slice of pizza with Jesus' face on it. I'd sell it for grilled cheese money myself

Rodney Dangerfield?  Now that is a collectible slice of pizza.

Nice 3 sheet, Matt.

Picked up the Empire Strikes Back Style B.  It's overshadowed by its Style A "Gone With The Wind" predecessor but I still quite like it.  I think Darth's leg is "off" somehow.

This is one of the first poster I ever bought, I think, if not the first one.  I was a kid growing up in Paris, and I was so excited to own a poster in English.  Not that I knew what it meant.  I tacked it to the wall and then tacked pictures from magazine on top of it.  The poster eventually, I assume, ended up in the trash.  I bought it back some 20 years later and I still love it.

Never liked that poster, it was damn near given away 10 - 15 years ago. I dont know exactly what the issue is, but something just does not fit on the poster. The colors are very drab, maybe that is the problem.

I never bought style C because, frankly, I don't know what to look for and there are way too many reprints out there.  Mel, why don't you put together one of your fancy authentications and make a new thread.  That would be helpful.

On my pics above, look at Han's laser fire.  It's dramatically more prominent on the real.  Looking at them side-by-side it's unmistakable.  I took these pics tonight:

The rare Australian ESB one sheet (mislabeled) went for $360 today.  Seller sent me pics and no doubt it was original.  My snipe bid was insufficient, alas:



As pointed out by Chris, a similar Coke ESB poster sold today too on Aus Ebay:
