Artist: Drew Struzan & Charles White Important Added Info: Note that this is the soundtrack promotional poster that was sent to record stores to promote the soundtrack to this movie in 1978 (while Star Wars was still in continuous first release). Star Wars stayed in theaters for an incredibly long time, and Lucasfilm decided to "refresh" it's marketing with a new poster. In the book Star Wars Art: Posters, Drew Struzan reveals that "Charles White III was commissioned to create this new poster. Charlie had seen my work and decided to call me in as a collaborator. I painted the portraits, while he painted the hardware. Lucasfilm liked the artwork, but there was not enough space left open for the "billing block". Necessity being the mother of invention, we decided to enlarge the dimensions of the art to increase the open space and give the work an early-twentieth-century, wild-posted [wilding] circus-style look. So it came about that it took the two of us to paint what would come to be known as the "Circus" poster for its throwback style." This means that the "defects" in the poster are intentional, and are part of the image, and are not actual defects! Condition: very good to fine. The poster has never been folded. It has a few light creases in some small areas and some light edge wear but overall it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
