Halfsheet vintage
commercial poster for the original 1977 Star Wars movie, featuring iconic artwork by the Brothers Hildebrandt.
Poster Details
Artists: The artwork was created by twin brothers Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, a famous illustration duo known as the "Brothers Hildebrandt". They famously completed the painting for this "Style B" poster in a mere 36 hours under a tight deadline, without having access to photographs of the main cast members.
Purpose: The poster was produced by Factors Etc. Inc. as a commercial tie-in and was used for early newspaper advertisements and international theatrical releases.
Content: The illustration is a dramatic, fantasy-oriented depiction of main characters, including Luke Skywalker with a raised lightsaber, Princess Leia, Darth Vader's helmet looming in the background, the Death Star, X-wings, and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2. |
