An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Empire Strikes Back (now known as "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back"), the classic 1980 Irvin Kershner science fiction (sci-fi) outer space action adventure sequel ("The Star Wars Saga Continues"; "Story by George Lucas") starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Billy Dee Williams (as Lando Calrissian), Anthony Daniels ("as C-3PO"), David Prowse ("as Darth Vader"), Kenny Baker ("as R2-D2"), Peter Mayhew ("as Chewbacca"), Frank Oz ("as Yoda"), Alec Guinness (as Obi-Wan Kenobi), Jeremy Bulloch (as Boba Fett), and John Hollis (as Lobot) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that this poster is clearly not the regular U.S. "style B" one-sheet. It has exactly the same image, and yet the coloring is different (on the regular U.S. "style B" one-sheet, the color is a light sky blue, while on this poster, the color is a darker lavender type color). The printing in the bottom border is also different. The title is on the lower left on this poster while it is on the lower right of the other poster, and this poster says "ONE SHEET B", while the regular poster says "STYLE B", and they are in different positions. Finally, the regular poster has an NSS number in the bottom right, and this one does not. This poster is many times more rare than the "regular" style B one-sheet, and the last example of this poster we auctioned sold for $2,500 (in the same set of auctions, we had an even more rare printer's test version of this "purple variant", and that sold for $4,480)! Finally, note that this poster (and several others we are currently auctioning) come directly from a man who worked for 20th Century-Fox when this movie came out. He was given the poster at that time and held onto it all these years until now, when it has been consigned to us! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few faint creases scattered throughout. Learn More about condition grades
