“Every Generation Has A Legend.”

“Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker” is a continuation of the Star Wars saga created by George Lucas and set over thirty years after Return of the Jedi and a few months after the events of “The Last Jedi”. 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 IX keeps up the high standard; Created by design agency Art Machine the finished poster has magnificent dark powerful  imagery as the ‘light’ and the ‘dark’ sides of the Force, Rey (Daisy Ridley) duels with Kylo Ten (Adam Driver). All ominously overlooked by the all powerful Emperor. It certainly pays homage to Drew Struzan’s iconic ‘Revenge’ artwork. The original US/International one-sheet film poster offered here is full size measuring 27″ x 40″ and is double sided. Guaranteed original and presented here in very good unrestored condition this beautiful rolled (as issued) example has minimal handling wear and looks fantastic. A rare and desirable example of original Star Wars movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises…“Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny.”

Film Description

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Movie Poster

“The surviving members of the Rebel Alliance Resistance face off against the Imperial First Order once more in the final chapter of the Skywalker saga.”

The teaser trailer and the title The Rise of Skywalker was announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, Illinois on April 12, 2019.

When George Lucas originally laid out plans for twelve episodes, then reduced that number to nine episodes, he said that C-3PO and R2-D2 would be the only characters to appear in all nine. This will prove to be true, as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the only other characters to appear in every film of both the original and prequel trilogies did not appear in the sequel trilogy. Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) will also become the only actor to appear in all nine films.

Though they are no longer the main characters, each film in the sequel trilogy was meant to showcase one of the main characters from the original trilogy. The Force Awakens focused on Han, The Last Jedi on Luke, and The Rise of Skywalker will reportedly focus on Leia. This actually mirrors the original trilogy, in which Luke interacts with a central character from the prequel trilogy. The original “Star Wars” focused on Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Empire Strikes Back on Yoda, and Return of the Jedi” on the Emperor.

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.
