STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE

Commercial Poster (20" x 28")
Fine- Folded; Artwork by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt
Factors, 1977

Due to a tight deadline, the Hildebrandt brothers created this artwork in just 36 hours. It was used on many foreign theatrical posters, but in the US, it became one of the first commercial posters. This is a copy of the famous Factors poster.

Two pinholes at the top of the poster have been torn. The folds of the poster are at an irregular angle. There is also some staining at the bottom left of the poster.

George Lucas' ground-breaking space opera, which defied all expectations to change the film industry forever. Inspired by Flash Gordon serials, Westerns, samurai films and World War II movies, Lucas crafted a new, hugely popular mythology in "A galaxy far, far away," while setting a new standard for visual effects.
