The Empire Strikes Back (1980), style B poster, US

Artist: Tom Jung (b.1942)

Unframed: 60 x 40 in. (152 x 102 cm)

The artwork on this piece was also used on the smaller size US poster. This format poster, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples.

This large format poster does not surface very often.

This is the second film in the original Star Wars trilogy, which is now also known as Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. Although George Lucas did not direct this film, he wrote the story and served as executive producer.
