I have an original one sheet I got in 1976 , new for 5 bucks. Over the years I got it signed by 5 of the actors when they were doing the Convention circuit.
How could you leave out Noriyoshi Ohrai's Empires Strikes Back? It is an incredible poster and widely considered one of the best of the trilogy, not sure any list it complete without mentioning it.
Nice to see the original posters again. Back in the day...(before computers) you just didn't get to see lots of graphics and illustrations outside a magazine or newspaper.
Nice video. Movie posters is definitely a lost artform. Nowadays with the wet blanket of media tsunami you just don't need or have the same impact that posters did before the great internet. VHS box art would make an equally fun video as again, prior to the internet standing in the Blockbuster staring at rack upon rack of video boxes you needed to up your game to get consumers to take the plunge and that box art certainly did that.
I paid close to 300 dollars for the original star wars movie poster more than 12 years ago at a used 7-8/10 quality. Originals theatrical releases get wayyyyy expensive more so this days, I have all the main originals from all trilogies minus the last one.( I didn't knew how i felt with that rey ark). There are many fake, repros, reprints so its another whole universe
Adam, you missed one of the Return Of The Jedi posters…the first one I ever saw in a local theater months before the movie came out (this really dates me) was a simple poster with just the title and a singular lightsaber, with a black background. Why didn’t you review that one?
I bought a set of reprinted Star Wars posters from Episodes 1-6 that I hang in my room. I'm currently on the Empire Strikes Back. I really like the Vader helmet poster.
That was entertaining & informative, however, this is where the Star Wars poster documentaries by Adam stop for me. I'm an Original Trilogy purist & want nothing to do with anything that follows Return of the Jedi.
How do I get me one of those t shirts? My buddy asked me to come up with a mural design honoring public service "heroes". "Mountain of people" search brought me here.
The new posters in the style that you show at 7:26 are ugly. I agree they are just random pictures thrown together, but I actually like the composition of the ones in the style that you show at 7:21.
Agreed on the Revenge of the Jedi poster. I got swept up in the hype and bought one when they did a reprinting a few years back, and it hasn’t been in my walled rotation for a while now. I was gifted a set of three 14x20 alternate OT posters, one from each movie, including the Empire Strikes Back one featured in your thumbnail. They all look awesome, but that one in particular really stands out.
and billie dee williams isn't the only black dude in star wars! darth vader is black, too, right? ok! i'll let myself out! you don't have to grab me by the arm. i'm going.
Those aren't tie fighters!
NOOOO!!!!
I MEANT X-WINGS. I MEANT X-WINGS!!!! F*E#@#%$#$%#%

I really like these videos, keep up the great work Adam!
Agreed. His graphic design eye helps make these great reviews
The commitment to the bit was more than alright, alright, alllright! :D
PLEASE do more of these Adam! Super dope!

Awesome video!
Look who's all-in with the chapters!
You never let me down. I've been waiting for the Star Wars poster videos!

I didn't have much to say about it. It's a nice teaser poster.
Lookup the poster for Finch, new Tom Hanks movie. It perfectly displays the problem with modern movie posters imo.
Oh wow that's awful.
What's the Heldebrandt text on the original Star Wars poster. Is that the artist?

Very thorough without rambling on, great job Adam!
Always great content.

however,

You are the best! :-)
Buenos días! I can watched repeat again! I watched more of your channel already. Straight A grades! This channel is fun. 😆
Thanks!
Why does the Thumbnail say: 4-7?
Because I'm dumb. Fixed it!
Where's the prequel trilogy movie posters?
in one of those posters there's a wookie in princess leia's crotch. um....just thot i'd mention it.
I loved movie posters, till the Dark times, until photoshop....
Something about that shirt, can't place a finger on it...? But I dig it
Dub video Adam!
I have your favorite Empire Strikes Back poster above my bed :)

I thought this was gonna be able collecting the posters. It’s just this dude’s “opinion” about them.
and billie dee williams isn't the only black dude in star wars! darth vader is black, too, right?
ok! i'll let myself out! you don't have to grab me by the arm. i'm going.
I'm black and I approve that joke! 😂😂😂😂
