@oldhollywoodcapThe original STAR WARS (1977) poster art by the Brothers Hildebrandt. This is actually a fascinating piece of STAR WARS history. The Hildebrandts created their version of the artwork for early newspaper advertising and retail posters, while Tom Jung’s more famous composition became the official U.S. Style A one-sheet. The Hildebrandt artwork helped shape the visual identity of STAR WARS before the film had even become the cultural phenomenon it would eventually be.
