Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that this poster looks to be trimmed, but it is not! It appears that when they created 30" x 40" posters for Star Wars, they wanted to economize, and so they simply used the one-sheet printing plate exactly, which included the words "ONE SHEET - STYLE 'A'" at bottom right, and the NSS number "77/21" to the right of that, and the words "STAR WARS" below the NSS number. But that printing plate was designed for a 27" x 41" poster, and so when it was used on this 30" x 40" poster, the words "STAR WARS" at bottom right, and the tiny NSS information at bottom center were either completely cut off, or partially cut off, depending on how the image was centered on the available space (we have seen several different variations of this, and they all vary as to whether there is any of that writing at bottom, and how much there is). We have never seen an example of this poster that did not have this oddity. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There are some light brown dot stains scattered across the bottom 1" and a few scattered around the edges of the rest of the poster. There is a 3" partial horizontal crease in the upper left of the poster and a few creases and scuffs scattered in the borders, and a lesser number scattered in the image.
