Officially licensed by Lucasfilm, this poster was sold exclusively through the Celebration Store at the show.
From Ralph McQuarrie.net:
"Star Wars Ralph McQuarrie TributePoster, created to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars in Japan.
In 1976, visionary artist Ralph McQuarrie created a concept for a Star Wars one-sheet poster that would inspire artists around the globe; Darth Vader standing before the Death Star, towering over our young heroes. Ralph retired in the late 90s, never having completed a painting of his original poster concept. This piece of Star Wars history has been missing until now.
As a tribute to McQuarrie, noted artist and sculptor Lawrence Noble picked up a paintbrush for the first time in years to complete a painting based on Ralph's original concept art.
"We wanted to do this in the style of a poster from 1977. It was a wonderful project to work on - I enjoyed picking up a paint brush after so long. The poster was even produced in the same size (27" x 41") as the original Star Wars 1977 Theatrical U.S. one-sheet," notes Noble.
Lawrence Noble first met Ralph McQuarrie at a Northern California art show (Space: Fantasy & Reality) organized by noted art collector William Plumb. Both artists worked on exclusive show posters for the event."
