And, NO "Hair line" on Luke's belt, which IF present would indicate a "pirated copy".
*NOTE: And if this FIRST PRINTING doesn't excite you enough, it gets even better! Because this Authentic gem is ROLLED! WHY is that so significant? Because prior to 1980, 95% of all one sheets were folded including these Star Wars one sheets, which means most all had the horizontal and vertical fold lines going through the images. And the ONLY way to diminish the fold lines is via professional restoration and linen backing. BUT, as you can see on the enlargeable images above and below, this Incredible 100% UN-Restored find has NO FOLD LINES! And is most surely UNUSED with no sign of displaying or handling!

Original domestic release 27x41" poster No. 77/21-0. Due to the immense popularity of this movie, there were four different printings of this "Style A" one-sheet poster. MOST of these posters were released folded and a Very Small percentage were rolled (like maybe 1%), the poster we are offering is rolled. Printed on heavy glossy paper stock. The first printing (the poster offered here) has the original NSS number of 77/21-0, while the next three printings have the 77-21 NSS number.

This poster has the appropriate NSS exhibition notice, a sharp and clear GAU image and the 1977 copyright is correctly indented. There are no stray black lines near Luke Skywalker's belt (which would indicate a Pirated copy) . ©1977 20th Century Fox Film Corp.
