Six New Exclusive Posters, Five From the Lucasfilm Archives

Thu, 15 May 2008 22:22:31 +0000

With the recent announcement of The Clone Wars making its debut in theaters on August 15, fans once again have a chance to add a bona-fide Star Wars theatrical one-sheet to their collection — and once again, you can only get it at StarWarsShop!

And all of the following posters were recently discovered in the Lucasfilm Archives:

The original hard-to-find 1-sheet double sided poster created by artist David McMacken for the IMAX release, on display in IMAX theatres across the U.S. and Canada.

Even if you don’t remember the magical 1986 movie Labyrinth — it starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, was directed by Muppetmaster Jim Henson and executive produced by George Lucas — you can’t deny its advance poster, released in late 1985, is an absolute stunner. StarWarsShop is proud to offer an extremely limited number of the original 1985 and 1986 Labyrinth posters.

Remember THX? Well of course you do — the signature “deep-note” sound effect is still heard in front of many of our favorite movies these days, having become an integral part of the theater-going experience. In 1984, Lucasfilm printed up a batch of posters for the handful of theaters utilizing THX to showcase in their lobbies. In 1987 another version was printed and featured slightly modified styling.
