George Lucas wanted a 'new look' to refresh the poster campaign, one that would convey the fun and swashbuckling appeal of the film, for the film's 1978 summer re-release. Created by Charles White III and Drew Struzan, the 'Style D' (also known as the 'Circus Poster') displays a distressed finish, torn poster look placed on a rough plywood wall with additional images plastered alongside. It was created out of necessity as the typography and credit block would not fit within the original image area. This flat/unfolded example is the much rarer 30" x 40" portrait format printed on a heavier stock paper.

30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)
