The Empire Strikes Back – Very Rare Gone With The Wind Style UK Quad (Trimmed)

A “Gone with the Wind” Style A Quad from the promotion of Irvin Kershner’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Considered to be one of the rarest and most beautiful of all the Star Wars saga posters, this British UK Quad for the release of the film in 1980 features artwork by Roger Kastel. It is often affectionately referred to as the “Gone with the Wind” style due to its similarities to the classic 1939 movie poster. After a very limited initial release, many of these posters were trimmed for usage on the London Underground, with this being one of those. Considered to be the Holy Grail of Star Wars posters by collectors, with a 10/10 rarity rating from writer Stephen Sansweet in his Star Wars Poster Book. Presented unrestored, the colours are bright and vibrant, particularly the silver title lettering, and it has very little wear considering its age.
