If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: We know that all true Star Wars fans know this, but this poster was only issued to theaters that showed Star Wars for 365 days straight through, which makes this an exceedingly desirable poster (and far more rare than almost all other Star Wars posters)! George Lucas had to get permission to use the action figures on the poster from Kenner, and it reads "'STAR WARS' ACTION FIGURES COURTESY OF KENNER PRODUCTS". Also, the seventh Star Wars movie will be opening December 18, 2015, at which point, there will probably be even more collectors looking for this poster than ever before! Also note that there are reproductions of this poster. The reproductions measure 39 1/2" tall and originals measure 41" tall. We have carefully measured the poster we are offering here and it measures 41" tall and the printing is sharp. Please bid knowing that this is 100% the original "birthday style" one-sheet! This Star Wars poster (and seventeen other choice Star Wars posters that we are currently auctioning in this special auction) has a wonderful provenance! It comes to us from a man who had an older relative who worked for 20th Century-Fox in the 1970s and early 1980s, and he received many posters during the course of his job. He gave them to his young relative (our consignor), who has carefully preserved them ever since, and now, after all these years, he has given them to us to auction. So each of these posters is a guaranteed original poster, with impeccable provenance!
