It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video or DVD sleeves.


This is the second film in the original Star Wars trilogy, which is now known as Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Although George Lucas did not direct this film, he wrote the story and served as executive producer.
