STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

NPR Promotional Poster (17" x 28")
Very Fine- on Linen; Artwork by Ralph McQuarrie
20th Century Fox, 1982

This beautiful poster, featuring artwork by Ralph McQuarrie, was created for the broadcast of "10 Exciting Stereo Episodes" exclusively by National Public Radio (NPR) member stations nationwide. The poster was folded and shows only light professional touch-up on the lower half of the center vertical fold, wit the bottom border airbrushed. It boasts rich, saturated colors, making it one of the most visually appealing images for this title.

The stunning sequel to Star Wars, directed by veteran helmer Irvin Kershner. Widely considered the best episode in the saga, it benefitted hugely from bringing in screenwriter Leigh Brackett (The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo) to co-write with Lawrence Kasdan, and also for its unforgettable final twist.
