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 is because this poster was printed for internal use by 20th Century-Fox and LucasFilm, and these posters were never distributed to theaters. This information was confirmed for us by Steve Sansweet and Pete Vilmur, the authors of the "Star Wars Poster Book", and they say that there are fewer of these posters than there are of the NSS version.
