Style A Poster Appraisal

Framed 1977 Star Wars Style A One Sheet Movie Poster

This is an original 1977 theatrical release movie poster for the film Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope), featuring the iconic Tom Jung 'Style A' artwork. The piece measures approximately 27 by 41 inches, standard for a US one sheet. The illustration depicts Luke Skywalker brandishing a lightsaber alongside Princess Leia, with Darth Vader's helmet loomingly integrated into the starry background. The poster displays visible horizontal and vertical fold lines, which is typical for authentic one sheets of this era that were machine-folded prior to shipping to theaters. The condition reveals some creasing along the fold lines and slight edge wear, consistent with an item of its age. Notable markings include the copyright 1977 Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation text at the bottom left and the 'One Sheet - Style A' and GAU union logo at the bottom right, alongside the National Screen Service (NSS) number 77/21. It is housed in a mid-tone wood frame with a clear protective overlay. The colors remain vibrant with minimal fading, and there is no visible restoration or major tearing. The paper exhibits a natural patina expected from a vintage 1970s print.
