'STAR WARS' AT 45: SMUGGLING SWAGGER!


One of the classic images from the original Star Wars that appeared on all manner of merchandise worldwide from 1977-79, from TOPPS cards to poster magazines, and more. Han Solo gets ready to shoot at an unknown opponent, as the cool, street-smart-esque style of Harrison Ford's superstardom status in playing the role is quickly cemented (having also been a prior self-taught carpenter to fellow actors during lean work periods, and, according to actress/ singer Michelle Phillips, becoming a 'pot dealer' on the side!).

Other images from the shoot...
