  Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

  £325.00

  “The Star Wars saga continues”…

  Original Trilogy Star Wars is one of the most common commissioned subjects to be commissioned for an alternative movie poster with very varying degrees of quality. But it’s fair to say that Martin Ansin’s 2024 offering for the George Lucas sci fi classic sequel “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” is something special and the perfect complement for the movie considered the best the franchise – it really is incredible with photographs not doing it justice. Offered here is the hand-numbered (#156/425) variant screen printed on a foil finish paper – it truly is spectacular with superb print quality and presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition. The edition on the print says 425, but only 375 were made available for public purchase. The remaining 50 are blanks that are for Martin’s Artist Proofs. Selling out immediately on release this is a truly scarce poster and highly sought after. Already firmly established as a fans favourite this impressive item represents a fine addition for any collector of movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.

  Trivia: In order to avoid sharing creative rights, George Lucas decided to avoid using a major studio to finance this movie. Instead, he bankrolled the $18 million production himself, using a combination of his profits from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and a bank loan. Although the move was risky, it paid off several times over. Lucas recovered his investment within three months of the movie’s release.
