Important Added Info: Note that despite having a 1977 date, this poster was created for the 1982 video re-release and not the 1977 first release. 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! Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. The poster paper has darkened (especially on back) and the image has slightly faded (see our image). t a few tears around the edges that have been repaired with tape. It could be displayed but please bear in mind these significant defects before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
