An officially licensed, sold out “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” alternative movie poster released in 2022 by Ann Bembi, who has created an incredibly exciting print featuring all of the major cast – the way C-3PO literally sparkles is super cool and a perfect example of how the giclee process works. Being a giclee finished print the colours and overall finish particularly striking, giving an impressive almost painted effect. This limited edition is hand-numbered #77/225. Scarce and highly sought after, Bembi’s imagery is already firmly established as a fans favourite, and this fantastic, visually striking fine art print represents a fine addition for any collector of movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.
Trivia: The word “Jedi” is derived from the Japanese words “Jidai Geki,” which translate as “period adventure drama.” A period adventure drama is a Japanese television soap opera program set in the samurai days. George Lucas mentioned in an interview that he saw a “Jidai Geki” program on television while in Japan a year or so before the movie was made, and he liked the word.
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.
