Star Wars Teaser
One sheet 1976 advance teaser poster for the original Star Wars (later subtitled A New Hope), used to build anticipation for the film's upcoming release in May 1977.Key Facts and HistoryVersions: There are two main versions of this teaser. The first version was printed on reflective silver Mylar (a foil-like polyester film) to create shiny, metallic lettering. The second version (shown in your image) was printed on standard matte paper for wider distribution.Logo Evolution: This poster features an early, non-standardized version of the Star Wars logo. Notably, the "W" is pointed and slightly different from the finalized version seen in the movies and later marketing.Design: It was created by the design agency Doyle, Dane, and Bernbach (DDB Worldwide). The minimalist approach was intentional, as the film was an unknown property at the time, and the goal was to "gin up excitement" for George Lucas's new space opera.The Tagline: The tagline "Coming To Your Galaxy This Summer" famously appeared in early trailers screened as early as December 1976.Synopsis: The text at the bottom describes the film as "the story of a boy, a girl, and a universe," emphasizing the core adventure before the brand became a global phenomenon.
