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)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster was issued in two different ways in 1977. One poster was a regular teaser poster, with a black background and grey text and borders. The other looks exactly the same, except the "W" in "Star Wars" has points at the bottom, which is only seen in very early promotional material, and the poster was printed on a foil coated paper with the black printed over the foil! It is INCREDIBLY difficult to photograph foil posters (and other reflective surfaces), so know that the unevenness in the image we provide is in the photograph, and is NOT in the poster itself While both posters are very desired by Star Wars collectors, the foil version is more desirable, and it is very difficult to find in even fairly good condition (because the foil scuffs so easily). This auction is for the FOIL style version.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster has many creases scattered throughout the foil (typical of foil posters, but much more significant than other examples of this poster we have seen). We don't know that, even if the poster was re-backed, the creases could be flattened out, and they would almost surely still be noticeable. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it has these very significant creases scattered throughout (which are more significant than they appear in our image, because of the difficulty of photographing this poster).
