Speaking of Star Wars posters. what's your favorite? My favorite is the Revenge of The Jedi poster my wife gave me back in college. I spent aobut $100 getting it framed and I've got it up next to a A New Hope poster. But the Revenge is my baby, what's your favorite?

That would have to be the one with Anakin casting Vader's shadow. I just love the simplicity of it. I actually bought a nice set of triilogy posters based on the video cover artwork (or vice-versa), but I don't enjoy them with their montage of imagery as much as I do the lone figure of Anakin against the Tatooine background.

I love the ANH poster with Luke raising his lightsaber and a much more scantily clad leia crouching beneath him. But my favorite is the ESB poster, the collage one with han and leia kissing, cloud city in the background etc...The teaser poster for TPM is great too.

The ESB style A is my favorite too. I collect original one sheet posters, and as far as my Star Wars collection goes, I have ANH styles A and B, ROTJ styles A and B, ESB style B, and the TPM teaser. I also have the large lobby cards for the original trilogy. Unfortunately the one I don't have is my favorite.... the ESB style A!

Some day I'll gat around to (and can afford to) having them all framed.

My favorite poster here at the forum is me.
Oh....you mean "movie poster". LOL. :)

No, my favorite poster is the "Return of the Jedi" one that has Vader in the background and up front is Slave Leia, Jabba, etc. It was released after the Blue "clutching sabre" poster. Empire is my favorite Star Wars movie, so the "kissing Scene" poster is the one I have up on the wall.

Has anyone seen the "anniversary" mylar posters? I have a mylar ESB anniversary poster (I can't remember if it's 10th or 15th) of Boba Fett. It is just about the coolest poster I've seen, and it's very high quality...anyone else seen this one? Does somebody know any background info on it, including value?

Thanks,

I'm no expert (I love that line!) but I would say it's polish or czechoslovakian (sp?)
