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) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Tom William Chantrell Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from the first continuous release in England in 1978, after the movie won Academy Awards, and because the movie played continuously in England, it is not a re-release! Note also that this British quad measures 30" x 39 3/4" [76 x 101 cm] but it does not appear to be trimmed (we have previously auctioned examples off this poster that measure exactly the same, and also the tiny NSS printed information in the left of the bottom border is slightly off-register, but that too was true of past examples). We feel certain that this is how this poster was created, and that this is absolutely the 1978 British Quad from after the Academy Awards. Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It is very lightly rippled and it has some light and fine creases scattered in various areas (more so near the edges and in a horizontal line at upper center). Fortunately the poster is otherwise "all there" and still very colorful, and after some proper restoration it would display well (but it could even be displayed at a reasonable viewing distance as is).
