A year or two ago, I wrote about how someone in Hollywood stole the original art for Roger Kastel's "Jaws" poster.

A few weeks ago, a friend gave me this folded one-sheet (the international version) of Kastel's 1980 "Empire Strikes Back" poster, so I called Roger up and asked him if he'd sign it, which he graciously did. He also sent me a couple of signed prints of earlier versions of the poster, before the Han and Leia "Gone with the Wind" pose was added.
I know Mondo has done project with Drew Struzan and a few other old-school movie-poster artists. Kastel would be a natural for something like that.
