Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: NOTE THAT THIS POSTER HAS A MUCH DARKER, RICHER BLUE BACKGROUND THAN OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS POSTER WE HAVE SEEN. But we have examined the poster very closely, and it is surely an original poster, and the dark blue color is surely how it was printed. Perhaps, due to the great popularity of this movie, there was more than one print run of this poster, and during this particular print run, a brighter background color was used, or perhaps the executives decided they preferred the lighter blue color. We have auctioned 16 style B inserts from this movie, and only six (including this one) have been this dark blue style, and the others have been the "regular" light blue style. This auction is one of 520 auctions in eMoviePoster.com's special "all-Star Wars" auction! Where did this remarkable selection come from? It all started when we were contacted by a VERY long time collector of Star Wars posters, who told us he wanted to sell his entire collector, and we started with his 296 (which included many of the most rare and desirable ones) and we then asked our other 2,500+ consignors if they had any other Star Wars posters (or related items) that we did not already have, and the result is this amazing collection of 520 auctions, and every item will have a new owner once the auctions end, because all truly have no reserve. If one tried to duplicate this collection, it would surely take MANY years to do so! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has two areas of discoloration in the upper blank border (see our image). It has pinholes around the edges of the blank borders and there are some creases in the title area, and in the center of the art of Darth Vader. The rare poster could be displayed, but after some proper restoration the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
