'STAR WARS' AT 40: A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE BATTLE OF YAVIN!


The classic space fighter craft of the original STAR WARS, most notably Darth Vader's unique TIE fighter, are locked in fierce combat around the Death Star, as seen in this special composition work that was used for various promotional/poster items in 1977 going into 1978, especially for Coca-Cola and in the later Japanese marketing.

Having done much of the laser blasts/engine airbrushing to effects composite publicity shots at that time, we assume artist Ralph McQuarrie was involved in this great poster too...
