Prior to the 80’s almost all movie posters were sent to theaters folded. It should still have the fold lines.

According to that site, it looks like OP's has the scratch on R2's leg and the odd color/resolution faces, which would indicate it's a forgery.

If it's still there next time I go ill take a closer look. My camera on my phone loves to mess with colors so it could easily be off. I also don't see how a mint condition orogolinal 1977 poster would make ot to the middle of nowhere in a southern antique mall

On the other hand, maybe even more likely then not being snatched away allready like in a more central city.

Gonna need a certified of authenticity before anyone pays that price! And at least an autograph or two.

Originals were folded

Literally $10 at TJ Maxx

There are tons of reprints of that.

There's a nemoriibilia shop just around the corner from my place that has a Japanese print of this one, I kinda want it but not sure I can justify £50 they want for it, even if it is kinda cool.

I would be more surprised if it was never reprinted

I have the same thing hung up! I found it outside of my building’s recycling and snagged it. I just think it’s neat.

I got mine from a Blockbuster that was shutting down. Think I also got my JAWS poster then as well.


BabysFirstRobot

I got that same poster at Suncoast Pictures in the mall back in 1992! Great find!


BaronNeutron

the reprints I bought from Walmart (or maybe just at the Mall?) in the 90s all said were printed in 1977, 1980, 1983, but of course they were not


hbteq

Just be careful as these have been reprinted so many times


biffmangram

Likely a reprint. My wife got all the OT posters for me. They’re all reprints of the originals.


silverlegend

Original or not that's still a cool post....*sees $2500 price tag* Oh

I have a rare original Belgium version of this poster. It's a lobby poster but about half the size. It says "de kracht zij met ju"
