Star Wars Original Cinema Posters

The first three Star Wars films produced by George Lucas between 1977 and 1983 are quite simply some of the most popular, and indeed beautiful cinema posters ever produced. The first Stars Wars film (A New Hope) was a phenomenon as soon as it hit the cinemas. In fact, the films were so popular that the Style A US Poster had 4 different print runs (with slightly different NSS codes) that are all considered first release posters. Despite this relatively high supply of Star Wars posters demand and price continue to soar. The ‘Gone with the Wind’ style poster for the Empire Strikes Back is considered by many to be the most cinema beautiful poster of all time. 1999 saws the release of The Phantom Menace which is in fact the first film in chronological order. A brilliant poster was needed to signal the return of the mega-franchise and it was delivered. 5 subsequent films were produced with the 2019 film The Rise of Skywalker being the finale.
