Footnotes

Literature:
S. Sansweet & P. Vilmur, The Star Wars Poster Book, 2005, pp. 19-20.

Affectionately known as the 'Circus Poster', this design emphasises 'Star Wars' as an adventure film, evoking the swashbuckling Hollywood pictures of the golden age. Drew Struzan created the striking image of Luke and Leia, while his fellow artist Charles White III airbrushed specific features including Darth Vader, Luke's landspeeder, and C-3PO & R2-D2.
