Original Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Theatrical Poster

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.
