Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that this poster is clearly not the regular U.S. "style B" one-sheet. It has exactly the same image, and yet the coloring is different (on the regular U.S. "style B" one-sheet, the color is a light sky blue, while on this poster, the color is a darker lavender type color). The printing in the bottom border is also different. The title is on the lower left on this poster while it is on the lower right of the other poster, and this poster says "ONE SHEET B", while the regular poster says "STYLE B", and they are in different positions. Finally, the regular poster has an NSS number in the bottom right, and this one does not. Note that this special "all Star Wars" auction began with a phone call from a VERY long time collector of Star Wars posters! He told us that he had reached a point in his life where he was wanting to sell his collection, and he asked if we could do it all at one time. Because he had 174 posters (including many of the most rare and desirable ones), we were happy to comply, but we told him that we would like to also add additional rare Star Wars posters from other collectors, and he agreed, and after we were consigned an additional 117 posters and related items, we have our auction! We asked the person who assembled the amazing collection of 174 posters in this auction to share with us a written history of how he came to assemble this amazing collection, and if you CLICK HERE, you will be taken to a separate page that shows you what he wrote for us! Condition: good. The poster has compression marks across the upper edge and light rippling throughout due to exposure to moisture with some slight discoloration at upper right. It has a faint drip stain at upper center that extends to the art of Darth Vader's arm. Despite these defects the rare poster is still glossy and colorful and it could still be displayed pretty well from a reasonable viewing distance, but if one chose to have it linenbacked to address the rippling through chemical means it would certainly look fantastic (but of course please bear in mind the cost of restoration before bidding).
