  Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

  £275.00

  “War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor…”

  “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones” is a pivotal episode in the Star Wars saga as Anakin finally fulfils his destiny and becomes the dark Sith Lord – Darth Vader. This 20th Anniversary release (2025) sees the return of artist Matt Ferguson, as he is once again commissioned to create the poster for the worldwide cinema marketing campaign and after producing some impressive imagery for the anniversary releases of Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace he has really knocked it out of the park with the artwork for “Revenge of the Sith” – it truly is spectacular and one of the best Star Wars posters ever (and that includes the Original Trilogy). Matt’s “Revenge of the Sith” print keeps Darth Vader as the centerpiece, a consistent motif used throughout his previous anniversary prints, and features a fiery duel of the fates as Anakin and Obi-Wan duke it out on Mustafar’s volcanic grounds. Matt’s feverish Star Wars love is showcased in every single one of his anniversary prints. This limited edition, hand-numbered (#93/750) full-size quad style features more epic, volcanic action and is a sight to see at 40 x 30 inches. The giclee finish is one of the best I have ever seen – it really does have a freshly painted effect, with truly vibrant colours. This screams quality and represents a fine addition for any collector of original cinematic movie memorabilia or the dedicated Star Wars fan.

  Trivia: George Lucas allowed his friend Steven Spielberg to help design some sequences during pre-production. This was partly because Spielberg wanted the experience of using the pre-visualization techniques pioneered by Industrial Light & Magic, as he was going to use them for War of the Worlds (2005). It was also because Lucas felt that his roles as writer, director, executive producer, and financier were taking up too much of his time and he needed another director to bounce ideas off. Spielberg’s main contribution was in the climactic lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

  What is Giclee ?

  Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

  The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

  Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

As more and more cinemas are turning to digital screens to advertise what’s showing, physical, printed posters are becoming extremely rare, especially those with such a short limited screening window – and that is the case here with the lowest print run of any Star Wars movie, even more so with the quad exclusive to the UK. Presented here in original unrestored condition this beautiful 2025  rolled (as issued) example has deep unfaded vibrant colour tones and displays to excellent effect. As this is the British release it carries the tagline ‘Returns to Cinemas April 25’. This beautiful poster represents a fine addition for any collector of original cinematic movie memorabilia or the dedicated Star Wars fan.
