We had and sold an ESB 6-sheet - it was in the Darth Helmet in outer space style. If anyone wants or needs a picture, I have a somewhat clumsy composite that I put together at the time.

I thought that there are Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back six-sheets, but my database doesn't show me selling either, and I wanted to stick to what I have actually held in my hands. David helped me learn something reallly good to know with this thread! I used the term "pros from Dover" jokingly to signify that I am a real expert. I did indeed get it from the movie MASH. But I thought that when the screenwriter had Elliot Gould say it in the movie, he was quoting an old expression (it just "sounds" like it would have been "an old expression") and I was floored when I went all over the Internet and found out that apparently it was created for the book MASH, and then re-used in the movie, but that it had never been said before that. Worse yet, the way it is used in the movie, it sounds like saying you are the "pros from Dover" means that you are the top of the field, but in the book it is made clear that actually it means almost the exact opposite (the Gould character in the book explains that it was a great way to get to play golf for free at any exclusive club, by telling the local pro that you are a visiting "pro from Dover" and then they likely offer to let you try their club for free). So here all these years I THOUGHT I was using an old expression that wasn't very old at all, and I was using it incorrectly. The things you can learn on MoPo! Thanks David for causing me to become enlightened.
