12k - Jesus, I had an original on my bedroom wall in 1980 from the local cinema. It was being thrown away.

I've got an original of the second poster rolled up in a tube, my dad got it from the cinema.

$12 Grand. Naaah.

I got a couple of ones for my 21st birthday, think they were about £150 each.
Still in poster tubes, have never had enough space to display them.

I too have the same shirt, if i'm correct it is a print of the original Japanese premier poster.
Jap culture=cool, Star Wars=cool = tee shirt that is sub zero cool!

In my local cinema in about '84 or '85 they showed all 3 movies one after the other, was an amazing day, 7 hours in the cinema in total.

I got a poster that advertised it, had all 3 movies on and the date, I have no idea what I did with that poster, but I imagine it's worth quite a bit now.

this one ?
if so about $255

Yep, that's the one.
Oh well, it's not the worst Star Wars mistake I ever made.

Watch out if you're looking at buying the single trilogy poster above. Commercial reprints exist by a company called Zigzag which are fairly worthless. They will be smaller than the official size of 30"x40" though

The £12k one at the top of first post is the original design by the Hildebrandt brothers (that doesn't resemble Ford/Hamill etc), although £12k is excessive...you could get one for £2000-ish (OK, still not a "bargain") with some patience. Christie's twice annual "vintage film poster" sales in South Kensington is the most likely venue. Just get ready for painful buyers premiums and shipping fees, based on personal experience.

For the original trilogy as 3 separate posters, you could compile the set for £400 to £500, again with a little patience, but on ebay for those.

I've had a moderate sideline in buying/selling posters like this for over 10 years so let me know if you need any more info.

I have the original poster signed by cast members, although not any of the biggies.

However it is signed by Kenny Baker and Jeremy Bulloch and about half a dozen others including Biggs and Uncle Owen

Its this poster



Was a present, dont know what its worth, would never sell it
