From Helenyi, Tibor's estate. 1984. cca. A0 Two Sheet (119 x 84 cm). One impressive piece from Tibor Helenyi's famous Hungarian Star Wars poster series. The painted compositions reflect the movie's world, however they do not follow strictly the motives of the movies. (Helenyi saw the films, but while working he could only rely on his memories, so his works always catch the atmosphere of the movies, but he created new, original visions too.) The painted compositions are very expressive and surreal, reflecting the popular visual world of the 1980's - the world of comics, science fictions etc. The poster is an original first release.
Return of the Jedi (also known as Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) is a 1983 American epic space opera film directed by Richard Marquand. The screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas was from a story by Lucas, who was also the executive producer. It was the third film released in the Star Wars franchise. The film is set one year after The Empire Strikes Back and was produced by Howard Kazanjian for Lucasfilm Ltd. The film stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew and Frank Oz. The story line of this enigmatic movie goes like this: Darth Vader and the Empire are building a new, indestructible Death Star. Meanwhile, Han Solo has been imprisoned, and Luke Skywalker has sent R2-D2 and C-3PO to try and free him. Princess Leia - disguised as a bounty hunter - and Chewbacca go along as well. The final battle takes place on the moon of Endor, with its natural inhabitants, the Ewoks, lending a hand to the Rebels. (source: imdb.com, wikipedia.org)
