“The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi.”

“Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi” is a continuation of the Star Wars saga created by George Lucas and set over thirty years after Return of the Jedi and features the fate of the once innocent ‘scruffy nerf herder’ Luke Skywalker. The release of each instalment is always accompanied by a huge global marketing and merchandising campaign with the movie posters produced always being of the highest artistic quality. And I’m pleased to say that Episode VIII is no exception; Created by design agency LA the second advance teaser poster is a fantastic epic piece of  Star Wars artwork featuring Luke (Mark Hamill) & Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) split by the flame of Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) light sabre The original 2017 UK quad film poster offered here is full UK quad size measuring 30″ x 40″ and is double sided. Guaranteed original and presented here in fantastic unrestored condition, this beautiful ROLLED (as issued) example looks fantastic; deep unfaded vibrant colours…Investment grade quality…A very rare and desirable example of original Star Wars movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.

Film Description

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Movie Poster

“Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares for battle with the First Order.”

A beautiful continuation of the Star Wars saga.

Where The Force Awakens introduces us to the new trio who will be front and center throughout the new trilogy, it is The Last Jedi that shows us who they really are. Each character is tested throughout the full length of the film, not only against their enemies in the First Order but, more essentially, against their own flaws and misgivings. We experience these trying moments alongside our newest and oldest heroes and the fascination we learned in Episode VII gives way to real love. As someone dear to me said, it is a movie about meeting our flaws and failures with courage.

Almost as critically, Episode VIII upends the questions Episode VII left us with and it does so by providing us with the answers we need, if not the answers some may want. This movie is nothing but answers earned after hard exploration and so the only question it leaves us with is “What happens next?” Which is, in a time where predictable twists whose sole purpose is to pander to an audience raised on having their most shallow theories held up as equal to actual creative work, exactly the question a story of this calibre should be leaving us with. It tells us everything and leaves us knowing nothing, with the promise of more to come.

Episode VII,The Force Awakens was a good Star Wars movie, truly a good one, but Episode VIII, The Last Jedi is the first truly great Star Wars film in a long time.

Most Popular Poster Types

US Posters

LOBBY CARD
11 x 14″ printed on heavy stock paper. Used as display in theatre lobbies. Originally made in sets of eight. Some sets have a title card, which contains credits and artwork, essentially a mini-poster. The remaining seven cards are coloured photographic credits and poster artwork showing different scenes from the movie.

WINDOW CARD
14 x 22″ printed on heavy stock paper with the top 4-6 inches usually left blank for the local cinema owner to fill in the cinema and the date it was due to play. Largely discontinued during the 1970’s.

HALF SHEET
22 x 28″ printed on heavy stock paper. The image displayed is normally a smaller version of the main poster, although some do have different artworks and sometimes come in two versions.

INSERT
14 x 36″ printed on heavy stock paper. Inserts usually have the same artwork as a one sheet. Popular with collectors since they are smaller and easier to frame. Normally come tri folded or rolled.

STYLE Y/FORTY BY SIXTY
40 x 60″ printed on heavy stock paper. Rare since they were primarily used for major motion pictures only. Designed to be used outside the theatre, on an easel, normally at a drive-in movie theatre.

ONE-SHEET
27 x 41″ printed on paper. This is the most common size of poster, intended to be displayed in a glass “marquee” case. It is the most sought after size by collectors. Since the 1980’s most posters are sent to the theatre rolled and maybe slightly smaller measuring 27″ by 40″ and with the advent of backlit light boxes a growing number of modern movie posters are available double-sided and the more traditional single-sided.

THREE-SHEET
41 x 81″ printed on paper. These were printed on two or three separate sheets designed to overlap, few survive. Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
