When the studio realized how successful the first film was going to be, they commissioned tom chantrell to create this bold, action packed design for the british campaign. Considered the best poster artwork created for the 1977 film, chantrell's design has become synonymous with the franchise, also featuring on the style c us one sheet poster. Chantrell often used his family as models for his poster artwork; for this design, his wife posed as princess leia in their garden with a plastic sword. Weeks after this poster was issued in the uk, 'star wars' was nominated for 10 oscars, winning 7, and the poster was subsequently reprinted with the oscar credits. This is the rare pre-oscar version that is most eagerly sought after by collectors. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity

issues arising from misattribution less
