STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

This is the stunning and much more scarce large format poster for the second episode in the famous trilogy.

Pinholes, staining, edge and border wear. There are some small crimps in the image, with a more significant crimp in the upper area under the word continues. This would be a perfect candidate for restoration.

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.
