Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that this is a VERY unusual poster! Why? Because it is printed on a "matte" paper (non-glossy), while all other one-sheets of this type (NSS style B) that we have previously seen have been printed on glossy paper! The poster was consigned to us by a dealer who acquired it (along with many other Star Wars posters) at the time the first three movies came out (from 1977 through the 1980s), and we feel certain it is an original poster. So how do we explain this poster? Perhaps it is from some sort of test run, and then it was decided to make the posters glossy. We contacted the leading Star Wars experts and asked them if they have ever seen this poster before, or know anything more about it, and they replied that they thought it might be an "after-hours" run or perhaps used to "clean the printing plates", but they had never seen or heard of it before either. If anyone else knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has a slight printing issue that only affects the last characters of the Title and NSS number in the bottom white border. All of the Empire style B posters that were produced by the National Screen Service are like this and it is not considered a defect. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has very faint rippling scattered throughout, but is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Note that this poster is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
