Offered is an original Star Wars first advance/teaser foil movie poster from around 1976—a truly rare and stunning piece of cinematic history. This particular version, printed on foil-coated paper with a painted black background, stands apart from the later release featuring a black background with grey text. The foil finish, which adds a unique depth and brilliance, makes the poster notoriously difficult to photograph, yet it remains an extraordinary work of art. Notably, the Star Wars logo on this teaser features a distinctive design, with the "W" in "Wars" represented as an upside-down "M," a detail that was soon revised. Despite minor creases, which are typical given the delicate nature of the foil material, the poster is in remarkable condition. Measuring 40.5" x 26.5", it boasts a sharp, eye-catching appearance that would be a showstopper in any Star Wars collection. This rare teaser poster not only enhances the historical value of a collection but also serves as an iconic centerpiece, celebrating the early days of the Star Wars phenomenon.
