I'd be surprised if they had no ratings, but, honestly, I have
no memory of it and I'm sure I didn't look. That wasn't an
important issue to what we were doing at Lucasfilm. (Again,
we weren't doing the distribution to theaters.)

Did you posters you saw in 1977 have ratings or no ratings?

I can't give you any of the "proofs" you asked for in your message,
Bruce, but as a publicist working at The Star Wars Corporation/
Lucasfilm in 1977 I can tell you that Style C posters definitely
existed, were sent to theaters, etc. I have no idea how many were
printed, shipped to theaters, etc., as that was all handled by Fox.

Rick, I have wondered the same thing. I have talked to many poster
collectors who were collecting when the movie first came out, and
they say that this poster did not appear on the collector's market
at all in 1977, and that a year or two later a ton of them appeared
(the ones that are rolled or lightly hand folded).
Some people I have talked to wonder if these aren't the result of
someone getting the printer to run off a bunch of these at a later
date. We know there WAS such a poster in 1977 with ratings (because
printer's proofs have turned up), and it is also possible that the
"no ratings" posters were from an international release in 1978.
Can any expert show an image of any theater anywhere that displayed
this poster in 1977? Or can any expert who was collecting back then
tell that they purchased one or more of these in 1977, and not at a later date?

Hi,
I'm not that tremendously knowledgable when it comes to STAR
WARS material, but of the posters from the three original films in
the Star Wars "trilogy", it appears hands down as if the 1977 Star
Wars Style C one sheet is the most difficult to find...definitely
more so than the style D and even more so than Revenge Of The
Jedi. (Of course the 'birthday cake" one sheet tops them all, but
I'd put that in a different category altogether)
Anyway, I was searching the results of Heritage's auctions and
there must be 8 or 10 Star Wars Style D one sheets for every ONE
style Star Wars Style C (if that many!). Hey, I know there's a ton
of rolled, repro Style C one sheets out there--but those also DON'T
COUNT. I'm talking about original, authentic Star Wars Style C one
sheets. Could some expert on Star Wars material out there let me
know the story on this poster? It's rarity in relation to other
Star Wars posters, etc. Hey, I've seen a helluva lot of those
BOGUS Style C's over the past 10 years, but unlike the Star Wars
Style A and Style D, there NEVER seems to be a genuine Style C
listed on eBay---unless, of course, it's in an eBay store for $1995
or $3995...or an even higher price.
Can some Star Wars expert out there tell me the approximate
ratio of Star Wars Style C one sheets out there compared to Styles
A and D...and what value they put on each...
Thanks very much in advance,
Rick
