When "Star Wars" was re-released during the summer of 1978, George Lucas was looking for a 'new look' to refresh the poster campaign, one that would convey the fun and swashbuckling appeal of the film. The 'Style D' also known as the 'Circus Poster' created by Charles White III and Drew Struzan certainly fulfilled the brief. Its distressed finish which displays the look of a torn poster 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.
