The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

This is a rare original US insert poster for The Empire Strikes Back, featuring the highly sought-after dark blue variant. With its dramatic, moody palette and commanding image of Darth Vader, this design perfectly reflects the darker, more complex tone of the film.

Culturally, The Empire Strikes Back is widely regarded as the finest entry in the Star Wars saga and one of the greatest sequels ever made. It transformed the series from a space adventure into a modern myth, deepening its characters and redefining blockbuster storytelling.

US inserts were printed in far smaller numbers than 1-sheets, and dark blue examples are particularly scarce.
