Other Info: This slender poster uses the traditional foreign style "C" illustration by Thomas Chantrell, encased by a white and thin black border. The art contains the action montage with the space cosmos background. The main cast members are holding and firing weapons, and Darth Vader is in the background clenching his drawn red lightsaber. Luke Skywalker is front and center pointing a laser pistol at the viewer, and multiple X-wings are racing around the composition. With an explosion on the right, the Death Star looms towards the left edge of the layout. A smaller C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca are tucked in underneath Leia, and the faces of Grand Moff Tarkin and Obi-wan Kenobi are floating on the left-hand side. It has the tagline in white lettering at the top - "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." and an English blue title logo, Star Wars, in the famous triangular pyramid base shape, is straddling the design and the bottom credits footer. At the bottom on the white background are the cast and credits, the 20th Century Fox, Technicolor, and Panavision emblems, along with the Uitgebracht door City Film symbol. This poster is often found in Belgium and the Netherlands. It came as an insert pull-out from the '70s music magazine Muziek Express, whose orange title is seen in the lower right-hand corner.
