Drew Struzan’s quintessential “Star Wars” posters are getting a new limited edition

Just like every generation has its own trilogy star wars Movies, and every generation also has its own Triple star wars art. If you grew up in the 70s and 80s, for example, Work by Greg Hildebrandt Roger Castel was your favorite. For those of us who grew up in the ’90s and beyond, Drew Struzan It was the man. Not only did he do the key art for the prequel trilogy, but he also did brand new posters for Special editions of the original trilogy. And these photos aren’t just some of the most iconic date star wars, But they’re also getting a brand new limited edition release this week.

Bottleneck Gallery and Acme Archives have teamed up with Struzan to release limited edition, screen-printed versions of his legendary art of the original star wars Triple. Three perfect posters that, when put together, make an epic portrait of everything good star warsQ. It will be released in three separate limited editions starting at noon ET today, October 8th bottleneckgallery.comAnd here is the breakdown.

The first is the main edition. Three 24″ x 36″ screen prints in an edition of 750. Each costs $85 or $245 for the set.

Next are the art prints, the various editions without the titles. These are also 24″ x 36″ screenprints, but in an edition of 350 copies. They cost $100 each, or $290 for the set.

Finally, there’s a “stroke variant” that has a rough sketch look around the edges. These are 24″ x 36″ giclees and cost $260 for the set.

Now, we know what you’re thinking because we were thinking the same thing. Those don’t look like the posters we remember. The art is the same, but these have a larger, more traditional title treatment instead of the gold treatment created for the original special edition posters. Which is definitely a bit of a letdown as far as 1:1 nostalgia goes. But there are a few things to consider here.

The first is that Lucasfilm is very strict about officially licensed items like this. For example, you can’t release an official “Raiders of the Lost Ark” poster anymore. It should always be “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Vomiting. We know. Thus, we assume that it is similar to star wars. For the most part, Lucasfilm doesn’t really recognize “special editions” as “special editions” anymore. They just, At least for now, Only editions. Maybe that’s why we got these classic logos instead of the golden ones from 1997.

Additionally, Lucasfilm is notoriously stingy with credit embargoes on products like this, and if you released these posters with the original gold logos and no credits underneath, it would look weird. You need something to fill the space left by Struzan specifically for the credits. So, it seems like these logos are a bit of an unfortunate concession that had to be made to officially release these images at this level of quality. It could be worse too. He could say “A New Hope.”

Plus, if it really bothers you, you can get the no-logo versions, which are just the perfect *chef’s kiss*.

However, these are some of the best star wars Posters of all time, and have never been released this way before. If you’d like to pick it up, it will go on sale at noon ET on October 8 at 12:00 PM ET Bottle Gallery.com.
