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)v

Artist: Tom Jung
Important Added Info: NOTE THAT THIS POSTER HAS A MUCH DARKER, RICHER BLUE BACKGROUND THAN MANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS POSTER WE HAVE SEEN (although we have auctioned several other examples of this "bold" blue style B half-sheet before). But we have examined the poster very closely, and it is surely an original poster. Perhaps, due to the great popularity of this movie, there was more than one print run of this poster, and during this particular print run, a brighter background color was used. It is more rare than the lighter blue "regular" style, and we refer to it as the "bold" style B. Note also that this poster has never been machine folded!

Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. We are not sure what happened to this poster, but it acquired many light stains across the credits area, and much lighter stains in the left and right white areas, but just a few within the image. The poster has some faint rippling. We would think this poster is a wonderful candidate for expert restoration. A top restorer might well be able to remove some or many of the stains, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very significant defects and have looked at our super-sized image before bidding.
