Widely regarded as the most beautiful design of the Star Wars series, this original "Style-A" poster created for The Empire Strikes Back is from the original release of the film in 1980. The greatest sequel of all time for many, The Empire Strikes Back (also known as Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" saw Luke learn the ways of the Jedi under Yoda whilst the growing Galactic Empire pursued Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca and the rest of the Rebel Alliance.
Also known as the "Gone With The Wind' poster due to the similar stance of Han & Leia in the centre of the piece, this stunning design was painted by the iconic Roger Kastel (also known for designing the poster for the likes of "Jaws". This stunning & rare piece was folded as issued and is in fantastic condition.
