Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that we had heard from collectors that Star Wars three-sheets came in two sizes, the standard three-sheet size of 41" x 81" and a slightly smaller size of 41" x 77". However, after further research, it's likely that all Star Wars three sheets are 41" x 77" and posters listed as 41" x 81" are because sellers (including us) assumed it was the standard three-sheet size. Note that while this poster lacks a rating, there isn't a version with a rating so we don't bother to call it "international". From the 1920s to the 1960s, U.S. theaters would commonly display three-sheets and six-sheets on their walls. Starting in the late 1960s, the studios started making a second version for non-U.S. theaters (those posters lacked our ratings and would sometimes have different images). Because of this, the posters would be stamped "Domestic" or "Foreign". But starting in the mid to late 1970s, hardly any U.S. theaters displayed three-sheets or six-sheets anymore, and most of the posters where used in other countries. After 1976, all three-sheets or six-sheets are stamped "Foreign" and/or lack a U.S. rating. Finally, note that this three-sheet was printed in 1 section. Condition: fair to good. The poster has many pinholes around the edges. It had many light brown stains on the back of the bottom of the poster (which was on the outside when it was fully folded) and a much lesser number of small stains scattered in the rest of the poster, and some of the faint stains show through to the front. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that many of the faint stains can be removed through chemical means, and the pinholes are mostly in the borders, so after linenbacking, the poster will display well, and it will likely require little paint restoration in the image, but bear this in mind before bidding.
