Description
A scarce Teaser poster announcing the 2nd sequel in the "Star Wars" canon. The initial title mooted for this film was "Revenge of the Jedi" & posters printed with this early title are much sought after. Nonetheless, this early Quad Advance is a rare Poster. Like most poster Teasers, this poster carries limited artwork but the sense of menace & excitement is palpable, the image of "Darth Vader" in the background being immediately recognisable to contemporary observers. For the purpose of comparison, we include images of the two Josh Kirby General Release Quads used to promote the film (it was felt the initial design lacked colour & exxcitement so Kirby augmented his illustration & the 2nd version was used later as the film was unrolled across UK cinemas). The poster has been cleaned, de-acidified & linen-backed.
