  Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

  £295.00

  “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”

  A global phenomenon when originally released in 1977 producing (at the time) a multitude of related merchandise including some exceptional commercial and promotional posters with some of the best and examples being very collectable in their own right. R2-D2 and C3PO have gone on to become iconic and hugely popular, more so probably than the lead characters and really have become the symbol for the franchise featuring in all seven films and became pivotal figures in the massive marketing and merchandising campaign that was to follow. Presented here on this original vintage 1977 “Star Wars” poster from the original soundtrack…“The Story of Star Wars” in original unrestored condition this excellent rolled (as issued) example was one of the best promotional Star Wars licenced posters produced at the time and one of the very few made to display horizontally in a landscape format. Scarce and desirable Star Wars memorabilia…“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid”

  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.

In The Mandalorian Chapter 9: The Marshal (2020), locals on Tatooine join with Sand People to fight and kill one of these serpents.

  Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

  “General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”
