This particular artwork was not selected, although Papuzza did design the final Italian poster, which is similar. A cropped version of this particular artwork was used on the cover for the Italian book Star Wars by George Lucas, published by Club Degli Editori in 1978. A full version is also illustrated inside the book. On the back of the artwork is a perspex window showing the art director's notes to Papuzza regarding modifying the composition and characters.

A British <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/collectibles/vintage-poster/film" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">movie poster</a> for the film <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Star+Wars&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Star Wars</a>.<ul><li>Greg and Tim Hildebrandt (American).</li><li>20th Century Fox.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> One of the rarest Star Wars posters, the original Hildebrandt British Quad film poster (also known as the Style B design). In 1977 Greg and Tim Hildebrandt were approached by 20th Century Fox to produce a new poster design for the British release of Star Wars as, apparently, George Lucas wanted something more 'comic booky' than the Tom Jung design that was used on the initial US 1 sheet movie poster. Amazingly, on a very tight deadline the Hildebrandt Brothers produced the iconic design within 72 hours. Star Wars was released in America in May 1977 and did not get released in the UK until December of the same year. By the time the film was released in the UK, the studio felt that the characters were already well known, and the Hildebrandt Brothers' artwork did not reflect this. Therefore they commissioned a completely new poster by Tom Chantrell (the Style C design). This incredibly rare original design - used mainly in London on the Underground a few months before the film's release - was then replaced by Chantrell's poster. As such, very few were initially produced and even fewer survived to this day.
