British Star Wars Style "Concept Artwork" Giclée Print
In 1977, following the US release of Star Wars, producer Gary Kurtz and 20th Century Fox took the opportunity to commission a new poster for the United Kingdom and international releases. This would replace the atmospheric Hildebrandt artwork, and the design brief was for ‘action’ and to put more emphasis on the human characters. The commission came to fellow artists Tom Beauvais and Tom Chantrell both of whom created alternative artwork for "The Star Wars Corporation". For his design Beauvais used wonderfully vibrant day-glo paint to make the title and lightsaber ‘pop’ with bright color. Beauvais’ bold composition is dominated by an over-sized Luke and Leia. Particular attention was paid to capturing actor Mark Hamill’s likeness, and uniquely this remains the only theatrical Star Wars poster in which Luke is depicted in his Stormtrooper disguise. Icons of Star Wars – R2D2, C3PO, the Death Star, X-Wings, and lightsabers – also feature, as does an indication of the written credits along the bottom of the poster. This giclée archival print is signed and numbered out of a limited edition of #295. It also comes with a COA to verify the limited edition print.
