Title: Movie Posters
Post by: Reconsgt on December 15, 2009, 04:18:10 PM

Any of you guys get into collecting the movie psoters from Star Wars?

I do,  I have a few though none are displayed yet due to wall space restrictions,   My primary focus is the OT of course but they can be some pricey pieces for originals,  I have plenty of "reprints" if I do one day want some just up on the wall, but I do have a minty ESB style A "love" poster and some of the newer items from EP1- EP3.
I will dog some out in time and share a few of these, 

  Anyone else into these?

I have a couple as well, and like you, have no where to display them as of yet.  I'm looking though...

You are opening a can of worms here, Wayne. I have a pretty big collection, only a small portion of which is displayed. I think my pride and joy is this 6-8 foot long episode 1 poster that I got at a Best buy one time. I have never seen another like it. I will try to get a pic of it up tomorrow.

Are they in your classroom, Shawn? That would be really cool.

Dan, here is a couple of shots of that 6foot Episode 1 poster that i have. I have more than this in my collection but here are some shots of the ones I have displayed. They are on the walls of the stairwell going down to the basement so room to take a squared up pic was pretty limited. As you can see, I have the newer and older versions of the OT posters.

those two narrow ones were found at a truck stop and at a hobby lobby a bit after episode 1 came out.

Not something I have gotten into yet, however I do want to get at least the Original Trilogy posters (be they original or repro) for my Star Wars room eventually and also a good Clone Wars one.
