3 Sheet, This is the Style A poster for the original 1977 film
Star Wars, now known as Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. This iconic artwork was created by artist Tom Jung and is highly regarded by fans.
Key design elements of the poster include:
The central figures: Luke Skywalker holding a lightsaber, with Princess Leia standing below him.
Darth Vader: A large, looming image of Darth Vader's helmet is shown in the upper left, symbolizing the galactic threat.
The Death Star: The ultimate weapon of the Galactic Empire, the Death Star, is a prominent feature in the background.
Characters and ships: Other key characters like C-3PO and R2-D2, along with starfighters and the Millennium Falcon, are also depicted.
The poster art went through several iterations, and some details, such as the inclusion of the droids, were added by a different artist, Nick Cardy, after the initial design. This "Style A" poster is one of the most desirable and sought-after movie posters from the film. |
