Artist Josh Kirby painted a colourful all-action sweeping montage exclusively for the 1983 British release of Return of the Jedi. These early version Style A UK Quad film posters were nearly all produced slightly trimmed for advertising use in the London Underground before being quickly replaced by Kasu Sano's updated Style B design, which featured the Ewoks and a darker tone.

40" x 27" (102 x 69 cm)

Additional Information: "Action Style"

Condition: Excellent

Unrestored, rolled (as issued). Trimmed for display on the London Underground which is typical of the time. Very minor edgewear along the bottom left border but otherwise remains in fantastic condition.
