Few pieces of artwork distill the passion for Star Wars as do posters. From Tom Jung's iconic one-sheet for Episode IV to Roger Kastel’s Gone with the Wind - inspired painting for Episode V and beyond, Star Wars has enjoyed nearly four decades of poster art from some of the most renowned artists working in movies. The fifth book in the George Lucas - curated Star Wars Art series, Posters collects the best artwork from all six Star Wars films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, and limited-edition prints. This collection unites all of the action, artistry, and drama of a galaxy far, far away into one lavishly produced tome. 

From Back Cover of Dust Jacket: 

Star Wars Art: Posters, the fifth book in the George Lucas - curated Star Wars Art series, presents the best of nearly forty years of original paintings, illustrations, and concept sketches produced for Star Wars posters and limited edition prints, including rarely seen or previously unpublished artwork by legendary, fan-favorite, and contemporary artists, including John Alvin, Howard Chaykin, Cliff Chiang, Amy Beth Christenson, Adam Hughes, Tom Jung, Roger Kastel, Mike Kungl, Ralph McQuarrie, Olly Moss, Noriyoshi Ohrai, Brian Rood, Kazuhiko Sano, Drew Struzan, Boris Vallejo, and Charles White III. 

Featuring some of the most iconic and beloved artwork produced for Star Wars, this volume also serves as a recent history of a tradition as old as movies themselves - the ever-evolving craft of movie-poster design and illustration. 

From inside flap:  

Few pieces of artwork distill the passion for Star Wars as do posters. From Howard Chaykin’s first advance poster, handed out in the summer of 1976, through Tom Jung’s, Thom Chantrell’s, and Charles White III and Drew Struzan’s iconic one-sheets for Star Wars; Roger Kastel’s Gone with the Wind - inspired one-sheet for The Empire Strikes Back; Tim Reamer’s and Kazuhiko Sano’s one-sheets for Return of the Jedi; and beyond, Star Wars has enjoyed nearly four decades of poster art from some of the most renowned and beloved artists and designers working in movies, television, and video games. 

Now, the fifth book in the George Lucas - curated Star Wars Art series, Posters, collects the very best of this artwork, covering a wide range of styles and tones - from photorealism to surrealism, and from contemplative to camp - for all six Star Wars theatrical releases, as well as animated television series, radio dramatizations, gallery exhibitions, fan-club exclusives, foreign one-sheets, video games, and limited-edition posters curated and commissioned by Mondo Tees in Texas and Acme Archives Ltd. Reproducing for the first time, whenever possible, the artwork as art, sans type and logos, this collection also includes several previously unseen concept sketches and roughs for the Original Trilogy posters, uniting all of the action, artistry, and drama of a galaxy far, far, away into one lavishly produced tome.
