Star Wars (1977) Original Style C US One Sheet Poster
£7,650.00
In stock
This is an original Star Wars Style CÂ US One sheet poster. This is a special poster, hugely rare and coveted. The multi coloured strip that can be seen on along the side makes this one extra special as it shows it to be a printers proof. The 3rd unframed image is a HD image that enable best inspection.
The coloured bar is used to enable printers to revise and perfect the posters they print using the offset lithography method. 99.9% of the time the proof is chopped from the posters before circulating them in the cinemas. Old proofs are often re-discovered in printing presses years later as is the case with this poster which has come directly from the printer.
The design, and artwork for the poster, was produced by Tom Chantrell. It was originally commissioned for the UK release of the film but George Lucas liked it so much it was also used for US cinemas. Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3PO all feature on the poster. A large image of Darth Vader’s helmet looms in the background, a design that was used in many subsequent posters for the franchise. A white streak across the top of Luke’s lightsaber forms a cross. Jung explained this as representing the forces of good against evil.
