UPDATED 07/21/2021: Note that we contacted Star Wars experts Pete Vilmur and Steve Sansweet about the strange R82 Star Wars posters. They confirmed that in 1979, 20th Century Fox gave Lucasfilm back their copyright and merchandising rights as part of a deal. In 1982, Lucasfilm created a one-sheet, standee, 40x60 and insert poster (the insert was part of a giveaway) to promote the video release of Star Wars. All of these items look like 1977 items (they were printed from the same plates) except for the tiny "LucasFilm Ltd" copyright line under the artwork! Some of these items are also quite rare (we have only seen four of the standees, and one of the 40x60s). Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a small faint stain in the right of the top blank border and a few very tiny ones to the left of it. There is darkening on the back of the bottom 8" of the poster, but it does not affect the front, due to the thickness of the poster, and otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition!
