If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very mysterious poster! There is a poster like this that was a silkscreen poster promoting the 07/01 premiere of Star Wars on Shikoku, the 4th largest island in Japan. However, this is not THAT poster, although it looks very much like it and is silkscreened on to a heavy paper stock. So what is it? We asked the world's leading experts, and they are not sure, but they think there's a good possibility that it was created in the 1980s as a commercial poster and sold to collectors, but that is solely a guess. Given its quality paper stock, it is was not inexpensive to create, and we have never auctioned it before, so it seems to be quite rare. However, there is much unknown about it, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept these uncertainties. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. This auction is one of 520 auctions in eMoviePoster.com's special "all-Star Wars" auction! Where did this remarkable selection come from? It all started when we were contacted by a VERY long time collector of Star Wars posters, who told us he wanted to sell his entire collector, and we started with his 296 (which included many of the most rare and desirable ones) and we then asked our other 2,500+ consignors if they had any other Star Wars posters (or related items) that we did not already have, and the result is this amazing collection of 520 auctions, and every item will have a new owner once the auctions end, because all truly have no reserve. If one tried to duplicate this collection, it would surely take MANY years to do so! Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded and has the most minor of wear.
