Star Wars Poster Book

"Before the internet, the earliest indication that a new Star Wars movie was "Coming Soon to Your Galaxy" was usually trumpeted by the posters pinned up in theater lobbies. Occasionally these early advance posters, or "teasers," used spare graphics -- some even used plain text. The actual release posters, however, were lavish illustrations designed to convey the film's scope, brimming with excitement, adventure, and romance. Though many of these classic posters have since become the most recognized imagery in movie poster history, their histories have seldom been explored." Source: starwars.com
