I agree about the David Prowse autograph on this poster. I don't think it adds anything and it could possibly subtract. I often specialize in posters and lobbies with autographs and often find they really do add value if it's the right autograph and definitely genuine (i.e. I had a one-sheet for Two Women with Sophia Loren's autograph). In the case of Prowse, he's been autographing tons of posters, etc since the late 70s and it's pretty common. I'd think the only important autograph on a Star Wars posters would be Lucas, Harrison Ford, and perhaps John Williams and all taken in person only.
