If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them!
Also note that this is a rare advance one-sheet (note the "Coming to your galaxy this Summer." at the bottom of the poster).
Note that this poster is one of a GREAT collection of 27 Star Wars posters that eMoviePoster is offering this week on eBay as 27 separate items. The collection includes a comprehensive overview of all the Star Wars releases, from the 1976 advance one-sheet through the 1997 Trilogy reissues, including the "Birthday one-sheet", a Style D "rolled" 30 x 40 from Star Wars, and much more! Be sure to look at the other 26 items from this collection eMoviePoster is selling this week!

Condition: fine. The poster has had minor restoration along the foldlines.. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
