Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had two 4" tears and two 3" tears near the middle of the left border, above the lightsaber. It had a few tiny tears in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
