STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE

Charity Premiere Screening Handbill (8.5" x 14")
Very Fine-
20th Century Fox, 1977

From George Lucas' hometown of Modesto, California, comes an extremely scarce "Star Wars" memorabilia item. A handbill used by the cinema to advertise a charity premiere showing of his movie on July 1, 1977, with the screening benefiting the Memorial Hospital Foundation. This was an early preview, with the film opening to the general public in Modesto the very next day.

George Lucas' ground-breaking space opera, which defied all expectations to change the film industry forever. Inspired by Flash Gordon serials, Westerns, samurai films and World War II movies, Lucas crafted a new, hugely popular mythology in "A galaxy far, far away," while setting a new standard for visual effects.
