Star Wars: A rare 'Empire Day' poster for The Empire Strikes Back, Lucasfilm/Twentieth Century Fox, 1980, designed by Ralph McQuarrie for the World Premiere for the film which took place at the Odeon Theatre, Leicester Square in London on the 20th May 1980, 22 1/4in x 16 1/4in (56.5cm x 41cm) Footnotes: This rare promotional poster was part of a large marketing campaign devised by Lucasfilm/Twentieth Century Fox for the premiere of The Empire Strikes Back released in 1980. The idea was to resurrect 'Empire Day' as close to the British 'Empire' holiday which had been previously observed by members of the British Empire between 1902 and 1958 to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on 24th May. As such an army of stormtroopers were released throughout London's mainline and Underground stations handing out T-shirts, posters, and buttons bearing the 'Empire Day' logo, this poster being one of these rare pieces of original marketing material. Provenance: Gifted to the vendor in 1991 when they worked at the 20th Century Fox's London Head Office, which was then located in Soho Square.
