Artist: Tom Jung
Important Added Info: Note that, due to the extraordinary success of this movie, and as a Kenner toys tie-in, Star Wars was brought back to theaters in 1979 for an additional special three-week showing. New one-sheets were created for this special two-week engagement, with a tagline across the middle that reads "The Force Will Be With You For Three Weeks Only". Note that this poster does not have NSS information in the bottom border. Starting sometime in the late 1970s, both the National Screen Service and the movie studios would sometimes print posters for the same film. Both posters would have the same images and art but the studio-printed posters would lack the NSS identification information normally found at the bottom of posters printed by the National Screen Service. The poster offered here was printed by 20th Century-Fox itself in 1979, and while it does not have NSS information, it is 100% original!
