If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that in 1982, 20th Century-Fox released both Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back as a double bill in the U.K. There was a "Marler Haley" set of British posters created for this release (two quads and four double crowns). One of the quads is text only, and it advertises that the double bill will also include the showing of a trailer for 1983's forthcoming third part in the trilogy, which is still referred to as "Revenge of the Jedi" on this poster, because it was created in 1982, before the title was changed to "Return of the Jedi". The poster offered here is the British quad from the Marler Haley set that is described above! It is incredibly rare, and we previously auctioned this very poster, but the buyer never paid, so we are re-auctioning it now, and it is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has creases and scuffs around the edges in the solid colored areas, with a few tiny tears (see our image). It can certainly be paperbacked or linenbacked, which would greatly diminish how noticeable the creases and scuffs are. Learn More about condition grades
