Description

Star Wars (20th Century Fox, 1978). Folded, Fine/Very Fine. Hong Kong One Sheet (21" X 31") Monochrome Style, Tom Chantrell Artwork.
It has been thirteen years since Heritage last presented an example of this scarce Hong Kong black-and-white poster for the original Star Wars. Featuring Tom Chantrell's iconic artwork reimagined in grayscale, the design is distinguished by its bold Cantonese title treatment and lettering, offering a fresh and striking interpretation of one of cinema's most famous images. The origins of this version remain something of a mystery, whether a printer's proof or a theatrical issue, but its rarity and distinctive aesthetic have made it a prized piece among Star Wars collectors. This example displays light handling wear and mild fold toning.
