An Unfolded BOOTLEG One-Sheet Movie Poster (printed for direct sale to the public and NOT theater-used; 1sh; measures 27 7/8" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Star Wars Trilogy, the 1985 bootleg poster based on posters for the one-time showing ("For the first time in America, The Star Wars Trilogy"; "One Performance Only"; "The [name of specific theater] is proud to present one complete, uncut showing of the Star Wars Trilogy, in 70 Millimeter and Dolby Stereo. Thursday, March 28, at [specific time]. All seats $10"; "This special performance will benefit the Corporation for Public Broadcasting") of the first three Star Wars films that was held on March 28th, 1985. This was a special promotion dreamed up by George Lucas, where only nine theaters showed all three movies on one day only at eight U.S. theaters and one Canadian theater, and naturally, all dedicated Star Wars fans wanted to attend this one day only event, but to do so, they had to go to one of the nine theaters. Lucas had only 2 one-sheets made for each of the nine theaters, so only eighteen posters were created, and each was printed with the specific theater names. This bootleg poster was based on the Carnegie Theatre version but there are several easy-to-spot differences when compared to the original poster. The biggest difference is that the top tagline is on two lines on the bootleg and it is on three lines on the original. These bootleg/tribute posters were likely created by a fan who knew that most people would never be able to find or afford one of the original posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a BOOTLEG poster and is NOT one of the original posters! The originals are pretty easy to differentiate from the bootlegs because they have three lines of text at top, while the bootlegs have two! Also note that this poster measures 27 7/8" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. Other than some very minor scuff marks scattered throughout, this BOOTLEG poster is in nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
