London Symphony Orchestra
One sheet vintage poster is an advertisement for the
London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), featuring the Star Wars character C-3PO. The text highlights the LSO's unique experience with film scores by humorously contrasting themselves with other orchestras that might play Gustav Holst's classical suite The Planets:

Headline: "Any orchestra can perform The Planets. We've actually been there." This refers to their work recording the iconic music for the Star Wars films, which were set in space, and whose score was notably inspired by Holst's work.
Context: The LSO recorded the John Williams score for the original Star Wars film in 1977. The image of C-3PO "conducting" the orchestra is from a real event where actor Anthony Daniels (in character) made a surprise appearance during a special Star Wars concert at the Royal Albert Hall in February 1978.
