@HoChunk. Ja, Love the smell of burning carbon and copper in the morning. 1927s Simplex Magnarc machines. Metal reels that clanked. I did the New England premier of SW so I was the first to see it when the cans came in. Impressive and I didn’t mind watching it the first 20 or so times I had to project it. After that I started prowling dark alleys late at night with my shotgun… hunting wookies. Or hookers. I forget which now.

@Zane: The poster has survived moving from 3 countries, 5 states and my ex-roommate nearly takes it (and the house) out in a fire. Who would of thought using a wood stove was so complicated?

@Alte:
“a thousand death stars”?!?

Damn!!! I’d pay to see that too!!

BTW – the folded poster came with the double album vinyl soundtrack.

Fake! (The Millenium Falcon didn’t show up until much later.)

BTW –I’ve always liked this illustrator (IIRC he did the original Del Rey paperback cover as well) and especially this poster. I think it’s one of only a couple he did with multiple Millenium Falcons.

@Alte: Ah, a fellow projectionist! Our dying breed lives on another day…

Plenty of valid reasons to hate SW –which one’s yours? Or did the carbon-arc dust simply drive you mad?

I worked as a projectionist when this first came out and showed it so many times I could do changeovers by sound, didn’t need to see the marks. I still hate it with the white hot intensity of a thousand death stars.

I have this poster….so that is what it is supposed to look like without creases, sun fade and scorch marks.
