If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this German poster, which was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap, measures 46 3/4" x 66" when the two sections are combined as intended. It has printing on the right of the bottom border that says "Characters (c) 1977 Twentieth Century Fox-Film Corporation. Trademarks of Twentieth Century Fox-Film Corporation. Licensed in Germany to General Mills Inc. German branch, 6054 Rogau 3. Printed in W.-Germany", and it has the Star Wars logo to the right of that, but otherwise, there is no printing on the poster. A knowledgeable collector tells us that this was a commercial poster which was likely sold in toy stores. A German advertisement for the poster also featured images of action figures (which makes sense because General Mills did the action figures in Germany) along with a tagline that translates to "This is the new crazy super poster from the film! In addition, there are now the new figures and aircraft. Everywhere in toy shops and department stores. May the force be with you!". It is a wonderful poster that we have never auctioned before! Condition: very good. Each section has some creases and a very few tiny tears around the edges, and a few creases scattered in the image.
