Our expert's notes

A pre-production poster sold at the 1976 San Diego Comic Convention to introduce the public to the concept of the mooted "Star Wars" film. This was part of George Lucas's strategy to entice Universal Studios to back the film (they passed). An interesting example of how aspirant movie-makers sometimes used posters in order to secure production finance (Hammer Studios also routinely did this). Dating from '76, this represents a genuinely early piece of "Star Wars" memorabilia.
Grading: Excellent
