Personally, I love these SW teaser posters. They're simple and (imo) there's something elegant about them. Also, they keep with the approach established by the 1977 teaser posters too

The byline is spot on as well

I'm in Canada and it costs more to ship everywhere, so get over it.

Disney ordered 4 weeks of re-shoots, so maybe even the filmmakers don't know exactly what images will appear in the final cut. :)

As for the poster itself, the point of a teaser poster is to catch the eye quickly and make some kind of impression. Though this one isn't visually exciting at all, its stark negative space does catch the eye and make you read the title, perhaps more than a really busy, typical movie poster might.

Signed 'Star Wars' 1977 International Poster by Tom Beauvais

With Celebration on the way there has never been a better time to add this stunning piece to your collection.

One of the very earliest Star Wars posters, created for the international campaign but never used. Renowned poster artist Tom Beauvais and his friend Tom Chantrell both produced alternate designs of the poster for 20th Century Fox in early '77. After Chantrell's iconic image was chosen, Beauvais' poster was put away and until recently has been one of the great lost treasures of movie poster art.

Image

Tom Beauvais has now created a signed limited edition run of 295 Giclee prints, in 30" x 40" size, exactly as the poster would have appeared on cinema walls.

We are offering these at a reduced price of £195. With the £ pound currency at an all time low, this is a perfect time for collectors to purchase. Dealers are already setting asking prices of £750+ on Ebay for this piece, so at £195 it represents an incredible investment purchase. Tom Beauvais is keen that these go to collectors not resellers, and so buyers are limited to one per customer.

Image

For those visiting Celebration, collection can also be arranged at the end of the day on Sunday for a further saving with postage costs waived. If you would like to take this option please contact me directly via PM.

If you would like to find out more about the print and purchase with shipping, see website here: http://spacefund.co.uk/star-wars-197...eauvais-print/

I purchased one, image is great, the gloss paper is the one thing I wish was done differently. Feels more like a litho than giclee.

I think these are well designed. Rogue One prints that pay homage to the Full Metal Jacket helmet poster

They look great ^.. The only thing that worries me about Rogue One is the hints of earthly army Hardwear.
Little nods to full metal jacket doesn't scream of a galaxy far far away, and the trailer showing the inside of the U wing shows them holding onto cargo netting similar to many airforce cargo planes.. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to see to much of the familiar military toys just so it looks more like a gritty war movie. Edit: the original films had near enough Nazi outfits for the empire.. But I hope you get my meaning :D
