Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this standee (only two in the last 15 years). Also note that this standee needs to be sent in a very large flat package, so it will cost much more to send than items that fit in our standard flat packages, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. UPDATED 07/21/2021: Note that despite having a 1977 date (and the box saying "movie standee"), this standee 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 (the were printed from the same plates) except for the tiny "LucasFilm Ltd" copyright line under the artwork! All of these items are also quite rare (we have only seen a few of the one-sheets, four of the standees, one of the 40x60s and none of the inserts). Condition: very good to fine. The standee is in its original mailing carton and is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
