THIS IS NOT A REPRINT - THIS POSTER WAS PRODUCED IN 1977.
Offered is an original, theatre-issued 1977 Star Wars One Sheet Movie Poster. This poster has become as much of a classic as the film itself, with the Tom Jung artwork portraying Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia standing defiantly in the shadow of Darth Vader, flanked by their faithful droids, C-P30 and R2-D2.
CONDITION: The colors are as bright as the day it was printed, and there is only the slightest wear along th...e original factory folds, and some very minor edge wear. There are no separations, no paper loss of any kind, and no other distress of any significance. NEAR MINT condition.
"Written and Directed by George Lucas"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Peter Cushing (as Grand Moff Tarkin), Alec Guinness (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Obi-Wan Kenobi), Anthony Daniels (as C-3PO), James Earl Jones (as the voice of Darth Vader), David Prowse (billed as "Dave Prowse"; as the man inside the Darth Vader suit!), Peter Mayhew (as Chewbacca), Kenny Baker (as R2-D2), and Phil Brown (as Uncle Owen).
There were FOUR different printings of this "style A" one-sheet poster! The first printing had the original NSS number of 77-21-0, while the next three printings had the 77-21 NSS number. The first three printings all had "Style A" printed in the bottom border, while this fourth printing did not. There are also reproductions of this poster, but the poster offered here is an original!
This poster was folded at one time, but it has been stored flat for a long time (in a museum quality frame with UV protected plexiglass) and will be sent rolled in a tube.

About Rockhurst RhodeMy name is Jeff Marren, and I have been a collector since childhood-comics, stamps, movie posters, baseball cards (honestly I collected baseball cards just long enough to sell my brother's cards when I was 14. I bought some killer speakers, which he ended up with anyway). I have worked in the auction industry since the late 1990s, and I've been exposed to a wide range of collectibles including, but not limited to, movie posters, baseball memorabilia, autographs, fine art, comic books, and historical documents.
My experience and passion for collectibles guide me in terms of presenting material in the manner in which I as a collector would like to see it offered at auction. From the photos to the descriptions to the condition breakdown, I just ask myself "what would I need to know to make a bidding decision, " and that's what goes into the item page. I do the research to be able to describe items with the appropriate context for the buyer.
All that said, I am always open to pertinent information concerning the auction items. So feel free to contact me if you feel some detail would be helpful to an item I am selling. I still work in the auction industry, but these eBay auctions are solely my endeavor and have no connection with any other company.
About our Autographed OfferingsAll autographed items are sold only after being reviewed by a third party authentication firm such as Beckett Authentic, PSA DNA, James Spence Authentication or Upper Deck Authenticated. Each signed item will be accompanied by either an LOA or COA from one of these companies.
About our Shipping PoliciesWe ship all orders with FedEx Ground or USPS, and include Delivery Confirmation. The shipping rate is shown on each eBay listing, but we will combine orders for one shipping price after the auction. Each item will be protected for shipping using quality packing materials to ensure they arrive in the condition described above.
A few reasons NOT to bidThe biggest source of grief in an auction transaction is questions asked after the fact. Please feel free to ask any question not covered clearly by the item description and photo BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BID. We will answer them as promptly as we can. Our goal is to offer quality vintage material, describe it properly, ship it promptly after payment, and leave the bidder satisfied with their winnings. So, in the spirit of avoiding unnecessary conflicts AFTER an auction (when they are much more complicated for all parties to resolve) here are a few reasons not to bid in this auction:
• I don't agree with the Condition Description. Don't bid. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but whatever you do don't buy an item you already think you don't like for some reason. It's a sure-fire recipe for unhappiness.
• I don't agree with the shipping cost. Don't bid. We attempt to make the cost of shipping reasonable for the bidder and a break-even situation for us in terms of postal charges and packaging, and we will combine items when possible. Please don't contact us after the auction to request a different shipping method or price.
• I don't think the item is original. Don't bid. If you think there is a problem with the item offered in terms of its authenticity, please contact us. But don't bid on an item you think may be a reproduction.
• No one got back to me when I emailed a question. Don't bid. We will make every effort to contact any bidder who asks for more information, but in the unlikely event that your question goes unanswered before the auction's conclusion, don't bid.
The goal here is to complete a transaction where we are all satisfied.
