*****MUST HAVE STAR WARS!1980 STYLE A GWTW THEATER DISPLAY! Museum/Investment QUALITY!Here is one of the mainstay poster images in the Star Wars collecting hobby: A BONA FIDE ORIGINAL 1980 Empire Strikes Back Style "A" Giant Lobby Display. This is one of the nicest of the original Star Wars theater displays. Originally referred to as the "Gone With the Wind," this artwork became known as the style "A" only by default. Billy Dee Williams questioned why he wasn't pictured on it (along with all of the other billed actors) at the film's premiere. 20th Century-Fox and Lucasfilm didn't have a good answer to Williams' surprise inquiry, leaving both studios standing there with a mess of egg splattered all over their faces. They scrambled quickly to issue the style "B" artwork with a small but clear image of Lando Calrissian, Billy Dee's now famous movie character. This glorious style "A" artwork was then immediately suspended - both companies dropping it from their primary campaigns to avoid any chance of undo publicity - rendering the "Gone With the Wind," gone with the wind. This is one of the few large displays to be issued to the theaters before this art was pulled. It measures approximately 36x58 inches when standing.THIS IS 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL RARE 1980 PRINTING !!!This was shipped by the National Screen Service tri-folded to read more
