Empire Strikes Back, The (1982R)
This is a rare TEAL edition of this one sheet design.
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) is widely regarded as the darkest and most influential chapter of the original Star Warstrilogy, deepening the saga’s emotional complexity and mythic scale. Its themes of loss, temptation, and moral ambiguity reshaped expectations for blockbuster storytelling, proving that sequels could be more mature and artistically ambitious while still achieving massive popular impact.
This rare variant presents the film in a dramatic, painterly montage, with Darth Vader looming above the central cast and action imagery radiating outward. The cool blue field contrasts with the fiery reds and oranges of battle, giving the composition a striking visual balance. Its bold typography and dynamic layout make it one of the most distinctive and collectible international style designs associated with the film.
