Empire Strikes Back (1980)

This is an original, linen-backed, one-sheet movie poster from 1980 for The Empire Strikes Back starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, James Earl Jones, Kenny Baker, Peter Meyhew, Frank Oz and Alex Guinness. Irvin Kershner directed the Star Wars sequel.

The advance poster measures 27" x 41"and has been linen-backed for long-term preservation and display. The poster was in very good condition prior to restoration with pinholes in the corners from theatrical display, a diagonal crease in the upper-right corner, and light wear along the edges. It was folded at the time of printing and had wear along some of the fold-lines. The folds are much less noticeable after linen-backing. Linen-backed posters are stored flat and rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.

Please look closely at the photos as it shows the exact poster you are buying. It is not cropped or a stock photo. The black squares in the corners of the poster are magnets and not pins.

This rare and collectible poster, printed in 1980 to tease the summer theatrical release of The Empire Strikes Back, is not a reproduction or a reprint. Please beware of reproductions being presented as genuine.
