A Style A 40" x 60" large format poster with Roger Kastel artwork for "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). This is affectionately referred to as the "Gone With the Wind"-style because Harrison Ford is cradling Carrie Fisher in his arms, similar to how Clark Gable held Vivien Leigh in the romantic drama. Printed in smaller quantities than the corresponding One-Sheets, these large format posters are relatively scarce, with many surviving examples subsequently folded and being printed on heavy paper stock, but this example remains in excellent rolled, unfolded condition.

40" x 60" (102 x 152.5 cm)

Condition: Excellent

Unrestored, rolled (as issued). Displays to excellent effect with very minimal handling and age wear.
