Although on almost constant release in some cinemas since its original 1977 it wasn’t until 1981 that “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” received its first official re-release. What followed was a special two-week limited engagement showing and for this new one-sheets were created with a bright yellow banner tagline across the middle that reads “The Force Will Be With You For Two Weeks Only” and reworking Tom Jung’s original poster design. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia are highlighted in full colour set against silver logo lettering, which in turn is offset against a matt black background. It really is a striking piece . This re-release only happened in the United States making these country of origin posters highly desirable. Originally rolled (as issued) this beautiful example benefits from being conservation linen backed and presents to excellent effect. A scarce and desirable piece of original Star Wars cinematic movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.

Trivia: The skeleton that C-3PO passes belongs to a Tatooine creature called a Greater Krayt Dragon. This artificial skeleton was left in the Tunisian desert after filming, and still lies there.

Trivia: George Lucas‘ decision to accept a lower salary on the movie in exchange for full merchandising rights was considered a fool’s gamble on his part. Although some movie-toy combinations had done moderate retail returns at the time, they had never been major money-earners because of the long gap between when a movie would go through its theatrical run and when any products based on it would be available. This movie, however, was such a phenomenon that it reached the holiday 1977 sales period in full swing, and changed the way how movies were merchandised forever.
