STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Rare Teal Style
Very Fine+ Rolled; Artwork by Tom Jung
20th Century Fox, R-1982

Many times rarer than the dark blue style, it is the belief that this was a possible test print poster that was never distributed to theaters. Referred to as the Teal Style, only a small handful have come to market over the years, and it remains one of the more elusive posters from the franchise.

Other than minor corner wear this poster is in wonderful condition.

The stunning sequel to Star Wars, directed by veteran helmer Irvin Kershner. Widely considered the best episode in the saga, it benefitted hugely from bringing in screenwriter Leigh Brackett (The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo) to co-write with Lawrence Kasdan, and also for its unforgettable final twist.
