It's a spectacle light years ahead of its time from 20th Century Fox."; "Written and Directed by George Lucas"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Peter Cushing (as Grand Moff Tarkin), Alec Guinness (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Obi-Wan Kenobi), Anthony Daniels (as C-3PO), James Earl Jones (as the voice of Darth Vader), David Prowse (billed as "Dave Prowse"; as the man inside the Darth Vader suit!), Peter Mayhew (as Chewbacca), Kenny Baker (as R2-D2), and Phil Brown (as Uncle Owen) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: We know that all true Star Wars fans know this, but this poster (known in the hobby as the "birthday" poster) was only issued to theaters that showed Star Wars for 365 days straight through, which makes this an exceedingly desirable poster (and far more rare than almost all other Star Wars posters)! George Lucas had to get permission to use the action figures on the poster from Kenner, and it reads "'STAR WARS' ACTION FIGURES COURTESY OF KENNER PRODUCTS". It is considered to be far more rare than all of the theatrical posters from the 1977 release! Also note that there are reproductions of this poster. The reproductions measure 39 1/2" tall and originals measure 41" tall. We have carefully measured the poster we are offering here and it measures 41" tall and the printing is sharp. Please bid knowing that this is 100% the original "birthday style" one-sheet! Finally, note that our consignor purchased this from us six years ago and has now reconsigned it to us. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a diagonal crease in the top left that extends into the background, but solely the solid background area. It has a tiny bit of paper loss in the bottom left corner and a 1/2" tear above it that has a small piece of clear tape on the back. There are some creases and scuffs scattered in the image.
