I have a rare STAR WARS poster - you never see one -- and I do mean NEVER --
which says None of this material is suitable for Adults.

Hi,
I'm not that tremendously knowledgable when it comes to STAR WARS
material, but of the posters from the three original films in the Star Wars
trilogy, it appears hands down as if the 1977 Star Wars Style C one sheet is
the most difficult to find...definitely more so than the style D
Rick, I have wondered the same thing. I have talked to many poster
collectors who were collecting when the movie first came out, and they say
that this poster did not appear on the collector's market at all in 1977,
and that a year or two later a ton of them appeared (the ones that are
rolled or
I can't give you any of the proofs you asked for in your message,
Bruce, but as a publicist working at The Star Wars Corporation/
Lucasfilm in 1977 I can tell you that Style C posters definitely
existed, were sent to theaters, etc. I have no idea how many were
printed, shipped to theaters, etc.,

Did you posters you saw in 1977 have ratings or no ratings?

We operated theaters from the 1960's on and this is what I remember
about the release of Star Wars to theaters.
Our theaters were being serviced out of the Des Moines, IA branch of
Twentieth Century Fox, Dave Gold, the manager. Prior to being released,
it was apparently felt by Fox that Star
Hi, Craig,
This is Rick Ryan. I made the first post inquiring about the Star Wars
Style C one sheets. Is there any way of finding out how many of these were
printed for circulation? It's funny because I remember in the 80's an
occasional Style C Star Wars one sheet would appear. Now
I'd be surprised if they had no ratings, but, honestly, I have
no memory of it and I'm sure I didn't look. That wasn't an
important issue to what we were doing at Lucasfilm. (Again,
we weren't doing the distribution to theaters.)

I can certainly confirm that Fox did not believe Star Wars would
be a big hit. There was small hope it would break even. Fox
thought their big summer movie would be Damnation Alley.
They were, of course, wrong on both counts.

I notice the rated Style C contains the text Some Material May Not Be
Suitable For Children, whereas the other normal styles (from the teasers to
the later style D) have Some Material May Not Be Suitable For

Just heard back from Pete Vilmur. He says:
The style Cs are definitely considered theatrical -- the reason some think
they were not is because there is no PG rating printed on the posters.
Granted, many of the style Cs probably were sent abroad to international
venues (I believe it was printed
