STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) - UK Style A Quad
A UK Style A quad poster (F linen-backed condition) from Irvin Kershner’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. As the initial release of The Empire Strikes Back was in London, many posters were framed and displayed in the London Underground. For three years, London Underground trimmed UK quad posters as their dimensions were too big for the frames they used.

Referred to as the “Gone with the Wind” style, the linen-backed poster features painted artwork by award-winning artist Roger Kastel, who also produced work for Jaws and Doc Savage. The poster features Han Solo and Princess Leia against an orange background, which was later changed to darker tones, making this design particularly rare. Originally folded, the poster has been carefully restored along its fold lines, exhibits a small restored tear, and displays light wear around the edges. Dimensions: 103 cm x 71 cm (40 ½” x 28”)
