Important Added Info: Note that these oversized stills (which measure 16 3/4" x 20" [43 x 51 cm]) are ones we have never seen before, and are somewhat of a mystery! We have seen oversized stills for Star Wars from 1977 which measure exactly 16" x 20", which is the standard size for oversized stills like these, and those are on regular photographic paper. But THESE oversized stills are on heavy boards, and they measure slightly larger (16 3/4"), and they have the "slugs" (the printed information on the bottom of the stills), which is only seen on some of the 8x10s and 11x14s. These were consigned to us from a poster exchange which surely received them in 1977, and we feel that they are a special promotional item that was created by the studio at that time. Perhaps they were intended to be displayed on the walls of poster exchanges. The color in these is clearly muted, and we don't know if they were created that way, or perhaps they WERE displayed for a long time, which lightened the color. If anyone knows more about these, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The stills are on heavy boards, and we believe they surely were created that way. The color in these is clearly muted, and we don't know if they were created that way (see above). The one with Hamill in the landspeeder has faint smudges at top center. Otherwise, they are in nice condition and will look great on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
