If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the Star Wars characters were definitely not iconic and burned into the public's imaginations in 1977, so when this silk banner was created, the artist did not take great care in drawing the characters the way they appeared in the movie. In particular, C-3PO looks quite different from what he looked like in the movie, and to us, that makes this banner all the more interesting, because it clearly shows that it was not destined to be a classic from the very start, but achieved that status after its amazing success at the box office. We have previously auctioned three examples of this silk banner, but it is surely one of the most rare Star Wars posters there is! Condition: good. Unlike the previous examples of this banner, which appear to have been unused, this poster was clearly used and displayed, and during the course of that, it acquired many creases and scuffs throughout, and it also has some light brown staining scattered in the left and right. See our image for exactly how this banner displays. Learn More about condition grades
