Star Wars Posters

10. Did You Know: Among all the scary looking creatures inhabiting the Star Wars universe, perhaps the weirdest of all is the Ysalamiri, who live in trees on the planet Myrkr. These tiny creatures are only 50 centimeters long and are reminiscent of salamanders yet they’re also furry. Ysalamiri actually get most of their daily diet from the treats they live in as their claws grow directly into the trees. It is possible to take a Ysalamiri from his tree. However, it must be done with great care, or the Ysalairiri may die.

Original Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Theatrical Poster This original one-sided theatrical poster for the Star Wars Trilogy Special Editions came out in late 1996 for the January opening of the Star Wars Special Edition on Jan. 31, 1997. This was supposed to be the only poster for the Special Edition releases, but George Lucas decided that he also wanted individual art posters for each movie, and hired artist Drew Struzan to do them. But the "Ingot Campaign" poster remained the overall umbrella, and was used by itself in many international territories. This is the first version of the Ingot poster. It uses the date of March 7 for the opening of Return of the Jedi. But because the previous two movies were so successful at the box office, the release date of Jedi was pushed a week to March 14. Part of the ingot design was used as box art for the recent release of the original trilogy on DVD. More information about Original Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Theatrical Poster
