This is an original One Sheet Cinema poster for a 1982 re-release of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. This is a particularly rare version of the poster as it features what Star Wars enthusiasts refer to as a teal background (the widely distributed version has a purple background). It was likely printed in as part of a test print run but never distributed to cinemas . Finger in the air, there is probably around a hundred of them in circulation. In truth the exact history of this poster is unknown.

The design by Tom features? Darth Vadar, Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian and Yoda (in one of his first appearances in an official Star Wars poster).

Reviews

The latest reviews are in from satisfied Cinema Poster Gallery customers around the globe.

I was working on a film with a 1st AD who had been filming the Octopussy and he was so lovely to sign the poster for my wife.

What a great service from Owen. I will definitely order posters again and can highly recommend cinema poster gallery.

Mika O.

The best in the business for original authenticated movie posters.

Owen is clearly passionate and has amassed a great selection of original posters and is always happy to help with any questions you have.

Couldn’t have been a better process, quick online purchase & delivery (very well packaged) and learnt a few things on the way.

And of course all the posters I ordered where exactly how they are shown and described online. Will be back soon, thanks Owen.

Asked Cinema Poster Gallery to source some specific posters for my son’s birthday that were not listed on the site and which I couldn’t find anywhere online.

Owen came back really quickly to confirm he could supply them – delivery took a little while as some had to be shipped from the US but I was kept up to date throughout the process.

Posters arrived this week – exactly what I wanted, in perfect condition. Couldn’t be happier, would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!

Gareth W.

Great item – received exactly as described and very fast delivery. Thank you.

Dan W.

I approached the Cinema Poster Gallery with a request to source a poster not listed on their site.

After speaking with Owen he helped to quickly source and track a poster from overseas. I was then kept up to date the entire process and can not fault any part of the service.

A very easy 5 star review

Ryan T.

Excellent product together with excellent service.

My poster was received just two days after my poster was ordered. Will definitely be using on a regular basis.

Mike JT

Poster turned up within a couple of days with certificate. All good.

Stuart G

After searching for a while for an original cinema poster to make a statement on our hallway staircase wall, I started the search and found the Cinema Poster Gallery had just what I wanted.

As the poster was huge, I emailed to ask advice about framing before I considered buying.

I received a lovely friendly email back from Owen, giving me some advise and a suggested framers to try, which was very helpful – with no push to purchase at all.

Makes a lovely change to receive such a personalised response and it made all the difference.

Poster received well packaged with a certificate of authenticity to confirm it was an original cinema poster, folded, in excellent condition.

Many thanks for your help, and best of luck for your business, you certainly have stood out from the crowd.
many thanks

The service was excellent and the end result was a beautifully restored film poster.

I received regular updates on the progress and knew the price in advance of the restoration.

I would certainly use them again.

Gordon

Cheers for sending out the poster, it looks great in my office at home and brightens up the place.

Might have to order some more for the other walls now ;-)

An easy experience overall, thank you.

I cannot express how friendly, helpful and knowledgeable my experience with Cinema Poster Gallery was.

Owen is helped me with my purchase and went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly. The quality of the item was outstanding and the packaging and delivery was undoubtably the best I have experienced.

The prices match the quality of the posters and I have recommended my fellow collectors to come here for their posters.

I will definitely be back as I know the posters are rare and well priced plus Owens communication is brilliant.
