STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Insert (14" x 36"); Dark Blue Style B
Very Fine- Rolled; Artwork by Tom Jung
20th Century Fox, 1980

The dark blue style is a more scarce commodity than the "standard" light blue style for this insert. Very few of these have come to market over the years, and why this version was printed is unknown.

There are pinholes and a small chip in the lower left corner, along with some mild edge wear. There is also a scratch in Darth Vader's left arm that extends upward to the border.

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.
