An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Return of the Jedi (now known as "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi"), the classic 1983 Richard Marquand outer space science fiction (sci-fi) action adventure epic sequel ("Return to a galaxy far, far away!"; "The Saga Continues"; "The movie everyone's been waiting for!"; written and produced by George Lucas) starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Billy Dee Williams (as Lando Calrissian), Anthony Daniels ("as C-3PO"), David Prowse (as the man in the Darth Vader suit), Kenny Baker (as R2-D2), Peter Mayhew (as Chewbacca), Frank Oz (as the voice of Yoda), James Earl Jones (as the voice of Darth Vader), and Alec Guinness (as Obi-Wan Kenobi) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Josh Kirby Important Added Info: Note that there are two versions of the original theatrical British Quad which feature art by Josh Kirby, and contain the same main elements (Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, etc). The more common "action style" features an exploding sandskiff, Boba Fett firing his weapon, Imperial Guards, and more. The less common "Ewok style" is missing those elements but features an Ewok below Han Solo. We have heard that the "Ewok style" was not considered exciting enough, and Kirby added the other elements at the request of the studio. To make things more complicated, both of these styles have variants with and without tiny white borders, which changes the size of the poster slightly (from 30x40 to around 31x41). Finally, there is also a 27x40 variant of the "action style" that was created in that size for use in the London Underground. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases on the folds and near the folds, with some diagonal creases above and below the horizontal fold and many creases in the top and bottom of the poster (see our image). Obviously, it would greatly benefit from being backed, so bear this in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
