Native Language: Star Wars
Date / Version: (1977) Advance Teaser
Artwork by: Hildebrandt Brothers
Poster Size: 30" x 40" (76.2cm x 101.6cm)
Condition: EX, poster is single-sided, folded as issued, and has overall minor handling wear. There is fold separation in two places, that have caused very minor tiny holes at the intersection of the folds. Also, with the minor edge wear, a few places have a crinkle and/or dimple of the paper. Even with these small flaws, this highly sought after quad is a really nice poster. Don't miss out on this treasure. This advance British quad from Star Wars is the #1 international poster everyone wants from the original trilogy. Please click on the extra large supersize thumbnail image to the right, to see all the small defects.

British Star Wars Advance Teaser Quad
Star Wars opened in the United Kingdom at two London cinemas: The Dominion and The Leicester Square Theatre on December 27, 1977 (both playing the film in 70mm Dolby stereo). The Hildebrandt Brothers quad illustration was used for the initial promotion of the film for several weeks during the holiday season. This international poster is highly sought out by collectors because of its unique horizontal landscape format that showcases the full artwork, and also because of the countries connection to the making of the film. It has the nice blue starry Star Wars logo, outlined in white, on the left hand side above the credits, and you will also find the small U Rating of the film (by the British Board of Film Classification) next to it. At the top of Luke's lightsaber and across the upper right side portion of Vader's helmet is the tagline, "May the force be with you".
