One sheet
Hebrew movie poster for the original 1977 release of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope in Israel.
The poster features the iconic "Style A" artwork originally created by artist Tom Jung, which was adapted for the Israeli theatrical release that began on January 21, 1978.
Poster Details & Translations
The Hebrew text on the poster provides localized context for the film's debut:
Main Title: The large yellow text at the bottom, (Milhemet HaKohavim), is the direct translation of "Star Wars".
Top Slogan: The text at the very top, translates to "A Western in Space - A movie that is all 'fun'".
Credits: The blue bar at the bottom lists the primary cast and crew in Hebrew, including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing, and director George Lucas.
Distributor: The small text at the bottom right identifies A.D. Matalon, a major film distributor based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Collector's Context
This specific Hebrew version is considered a highly unique collector's item. While the original 1977 paintings for the film's posters have sold for millions at auction, these localized foreign language prints are valued by collectors for their rare typography and historical significance in the franchise's global expansion. |
