This was George Lucas triumphant return to the Star Wars franchise. For most fans it was a major letdown. I remember going to see this movie the day it was released and there is no question that I had mixed emotions. After some reflection it just didn't stack up to the originals. This poster is signed by 38 including:
Pernilla August, Kenny Baker, Paul Bannon, Ahmed Best, Don Bies, Trisha Biggar, Jerome Blake, Michonne Bourriague, Ralph Brown, Ben Burtt, Silas Carson, Rob Coleman, John Coppinger, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, Lindsay Duncan, John Fensom, Steve Gawley, Nick Gillard, Raymond Griffiths, Alan Harris, Kiera Knightley, John Knoll, Jake Lloyd, Ian McCaig, Rick McCallum, Ewan McGregor, Dennis Muren, Frank Oz, Ray Park, Lorne Peterson, Greg Proops, Hugh Quarshire, Alan Ruscoe, Andy Secombe, Danny Wagner, Howie Weed and Matthew Wood
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
This is a new acquisition and something of a project. It's the teaser PHTM poster and I always wanted to work on this one, I just never started one up. I picked this up with some great signatures on it, including: Ewan McGregor, Frank Oz, George Lucas, Anthony Daniels, Ahmed Best and Samuel Jackson. I'm going to keep this to the main cast so I've got a few more biggies to go. It's a great looking poster and definitely the better of the two from the PHTM.
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
This is one of my favorite posters and it's jam packed with star power. This was my second item when I got Ian MacDiarmid in 2004 and i've added many greats since then. It's my favorite post original trilogy film and features most of the key names in the prequel films. Includes 49 signature:
Amy Allen, Pernilla August, Kenny Baker, Ahmed Best, Don Bies, Trisha Biggar, David Bowers, Ben Burtt, Silas Carson, Hayden Christensen, Rob Coleman, Anthony Daniels, Joel Edgerton, Nash Edgerton, Sandi Finlay, Ernie Fosselius, Steve Gawley, Nick Gillard, Jonathan Hales, Samuel Jackson, Jesse Jensen, Zachary Jensen, James Earl Jones, Alex Knoll, John Knoll, Nalini Krishan, Jay Laigia, Christopher Lee, Daniel Logan, Katie Lucas, Ian MacDiarmid, Ewan MacGregor, Rick McCallum, Ian McCaig, Temura Morrison, Dennis Muren, Lily Nyamwasa, Rena Owen, Mary Oyaya, Lorne Peterson, Bonnie Piesse, Alan Ruscoe, Veronica Segura, Hassani Shapi, Orli Shoshan, Matt Sloan, Jimmy Smits, Bodie Taylor, Eric Tiemens, and Mathew Wood
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The last of the pre-quel, this film was certainly better than the Phantom Menace but not quite as good as Attack of the Clones. We see the end of the Jedi and the end of Star Wars, atleast for the time being. This poster has been signed by 42 including:
David Acord, Tux Akindoyeni, Amy Allen, Kenny Baker, Jon Berg, Ahmed Best, Don Bies, Jeremy Bulloch, Ben Burtt, Silas Carson, Rob Coleman, Anthony Daniels, Nina Fallon, Sandi Finlay, Nick Gillard, Roger Guyett, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Kingma, John Knoll, Jay Laga'aia, Bai Ling, George Lucas, Jett Lucas, Katie Lucas, Peter Mayhew, Dean Mitchell, Ian McCaig, Mousy McCallum, Temura Morrison, Rena Owen, Mary Oyaya, Frank Oz, Lorne Peterson, Bonnie Piesse, Orli Shoshan, Matt Sloan, Jimmy Smits, Bruce Spence, Bodie Taylor, Danny Wagner and Mathew Wood.
British Quad Poster (Re-print)
I'm currently working on more Star Wars posters than two hands can count. There are alot of signatures of keep track of and sometimes trying to figure out who exactly has signed the poster is a real challenge. It's one of my favorite posters because of the fact that I can get just about anyone to sign it. Anyone who was an actor or production member associated with Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi It's a work in progress to say the least! It's now September of 2010 and I have added 30 more signatures in the last year. I think i'm getting close to shutting this one down. With most of the main casts of the movies, the directors, the cinemtographers, i'm about done. I'll keep it handy incase someone good pops off but for the most part this one is retired. The 161 signatures include:
Hazel Allen, Peter Allen, Tony Allen, Bob Anderson, David Ankrum, Annie Arbogast, Mark Austin, Charles Bailey, Kenny Baker, Rick Baker, Paul Bannon, Dave Barclay, Eric Bauersfeld, Dickey Beer, Allan Bennett, Jon Berg, Don Bies, Caroline Blakinston, Richard Bonehill, Bruce Boa, Paul Blake, Phil Brown, Jeremy Bulloch, Ben Burtt, Debbie Carrington, Michael Carter, Mauren Chalton, Ken Colley, Willie Coppen, John Coppinger, Sean Crawford, Dermot Crowley, Michael Culver, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, Peter Diamond, Mark Dodson, Tim Dry, Patricia Rose Duigan, John Dykstra, Richard Edlund, Mike Edmonds, Harrison Ellenshaw, Stephanie English, Harry Fielder, Richard Fish, Carrie Fisher, Stephen Fitzalan, Alan Flying, Harrison Ford, Anthony Forrest, Ernie Fosselius, Kay Freeborn, Stuart Freeborn, Wendy Froud, Ted Gagliano, Salo Gardner, Steve Gawley, Rusty Goffe, Tony Guilding, Julian Glover, Rusty Goffe, Laurie Goode, Tony Guilding, Garrick Hagon, Grant Hall, Nelson Hall, Howie Hammerman, Mark Hamill, Alan Harris, Ray Hassett, Noel Hawkins, Drewe Henley, Frank Henson, Andy Herd, Christine Hewitt, Colin Higgins, Kit Hiller, Barrie Holland, John Hollis, Gerald Home, Bill Hootkins, John Hostettler, Mike Houston, Paul Huston, Milton Johns, Joe Johnston, David Jones, James Earl Jones, Irwin Kershner, Colin Michael Kitchens, Jack Klaff, Gary Kurtz, Melissa Kurtz, Tiffany Kurtz, Richard Lapermentier, Denis Lawson, Ian Liston, Michele Logan, George Lucas, Derek Lyons, Angus Maccinnes, Ian MacDiarmid, Christopher Malcolm, Peter Mayhew, Terry McGovern, Jack McKenzie, Alvah Miller, Alec Mills, John Mollo, John Morton, Brian Muir, Chris Muncke, Mike Mungarven, Dennis Muren, Terrence Mustoo, Frank Oz, Chris Parsons, April Perkins, Lorne Peterson, Toby Philpott, Kevin Pike, David Prowse, Mike Quinn, Ken Ralston, Mike Randall, Nick Reed, Clive Reville, Norman Reynolds, Doug Robinson, Pam Rose, George Roubicek, Deep Roy, Michael Sheard, Larry Sheppard, Bill Shourt, Jamie Shourt, Felix Silla, Tony Smart, Doug Smith, Angela Staines, Barry Summerford, Peter Suschzinski, Alan Swaden, Keith Swaden, Femi Taylor, Gil Taylor, Kevin Thompson, Malcolm Tierney, Phil Tippett, Marolyn Turk, Joe Visckocil, Syd Wragg, Robert Watts, Howie Weed, Brian Wheeler, Billy Dee Williams, Simon Williamson and Jason Wingreen
Star Wars: A New Hope (Insert)
Image:
If there was one item in my collection, one piece that I could crown the King this would be it. I consider it a one of a kind item and I think anyone on this planet would be hard pressed to find something so unique. The pictured insert poster features one of the most complete set's of Star Wars autographs in existence. If there was one movie and one cast that you would want to have, this is it. Period. With just 41 signatures this is by far my best signed poster. Signatures include: Kenny Baker, Rick Baker, Ben Burtt, Peter Cushing (signed twice), Anthony Daniels, Richard Edlund, Harrison Ellenshaw, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Kay Freeborn, Stuart Freeborn, Alec Guinness, Garrick Hagon, Mark Hamill, Drewe Henley, Joe Johnston, James Earl Jones, Gary Kurtz, Denis Lawson, George Lucas, Angus MacInnes, Ralph McQuarrie, Alvah Miller, John Mollo, Dennis Muren, Bruce Nicholson, Lorne Peterson, David Prowse, Jack Purvis, Ken Ralston, Norman Reynolds, Bill Shourt, Jamie Shourt, Gil Taylor, Phil Tippett, Joe Viscocil, Robert Watts, John Williams. On occasion I will add an important behind the scenes member but I have pretty much retired this poster and with the exception of taking it out a few times a year, it sits in my massive safe! I have seen only two other posters with both Cushing and Guinness but none with those two and Purvis. Enjoy this piece of movie history, I know I will always cherish it.
Star Wars: A New Hope
The classic poster from the best movie in the trilogy and this one is only signed by a handful of actors! Signing are Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, Peter Mayhew, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Gil Taylor and George Lucas. I definetely have my work cut out for me here! I'm going to limit this poster to the main cast and credits and not worry about getting every Jawa and cantina alien to sign it. I will tag this as a work in progress so stay tuned and see what happens!
Star Wars: A New Hope (Re-Release)
This is a reprint poster and something I would describe as a last resort. Since I already have the ultimate A New Hope poster signed I don't focus on this one as much. When I have the chance to get a actor or production staff member on the poster I will do my best but it's not a priority. I must admit, I love the artwork and at some point in time I'm going to have to put a little more emphasis in getting more signatures on this piece. Currently it has 63 autographs including:
Bob Anderson, David Ankrum, Mark Austin, Kenny Baker, Rick Baker, Paul Bannon, Jon Berg, Ben Burtt, Patricia Rose Duigan, John Dykstra, Richard Edlund, Harrison Ellenshaw, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Forrest, Kay Freeborn, Stuart Freeborn, Ted Gagliano, Salo Gardner, Steve Gawley, Rusty Goffe, Laurie Goode, Mark Hamill, Noel Hawkins, Nelson Hall, Howie Hammerman, Alan Harris, Drewe Henley, Colin Higgins, Joe Johnston, James Earl Jones, Colin Kitchens, Jack Klaff, Gary Kurtz, Melanie Kurtz, Tiffany Kurtz, Michele Logan, George Lucas, Derek Lyons, Peter Mayhew, Terry McGovern, Alvah Miller, John Mollo, Brian Muir, Chirs Muncke, Mike Mungarven, Dennis Muren, Lorne Peterson, David Prowse, Mike Randall, Pam Rose, George Roubicek, Larry Sheppard, Bill Shourt, Jamie Shourt, Doug Smith, Angela Staines, Keith Swaden, Gil Taylor, Phill Tippett, Joe Viscocil, Robert Watts, Howie Weed and Syd Wragg.
Empire Strikes Back (Style A)
My favorite movie and my favorite poster art from the entire series. This poster is a work of art and it's by far one of the favorite pieces in my collection. The poster features 71 signatures including:
Tony Allen, Bob Anderson, Kenny Baker, Jon Berg, Don Bies, Bruce Boa, Richard Bonehill, Jeremy Bulloch, Ben Burtt, Ken Colley, Michael Culver, Anthony Daniels, Peter Diamond, Patricia Rose Duigan, Richard Edlund, Mike Edmonds, Harrison Ellenshaw, Stephanie English, Carrie Fisher, Stephen Fitzlan, Alan Flying, Harrison Ford, Kay Freeborn, Stuart Freeborn, Wendy Froud, Steve Gawley, Julian Glover, Mark Hamill, Alan Harris, Ray Hassett, Kit Hiller, John Hollis, Mike Houston, Milton Johns, Joe Johnston, James Earl Jones, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, Colin Kitchens, Gary Kurtz, Melissa Kurtz, Tiffany Kurtz, Denis Lawson, Ian Liston, George Lucas, Christopher Malcolm, Peter Mayhew, Jack McKenzie, John Mollo, John Morton, Brian Muir, Dennis Muren, Terrence Mustoo, Frank Oz, Lorne Peterson, David Prowse, Ken Ralston, Clive Reville, Norman Reynolds, Doug Robinson, Deep Roy, Michael Sheard, Barry Summerfeld, Peter Suschzitzky, Alan Swaden, Keith Swaden, Joe Viscocil, Robert Watts, Howie Weed, Billy Dee Williams and Jason Wingreen.
Empire Stikes Back (Style B)
This is probably not the greatest poster art that folks at Lucasfilm could come up with but it's better than nothing. It almost looks like something you can put together yourself. The scenes and characters looked glued in. Enough negativity! The poster is signed by 71 including:
Tony Allen, Bob Anderson, Kenny Baker, Jon Berg, Don Bies, Bruce Boa, Richard Bonehill, Jeremy Bulloch, Ben Burtt, Ken Colley, Michael Culver, Anthony Daniels, Peter Diamond, Patricia Rose Duigan, Richard Edlund, Mike Edmonds, Harrison Ellenshaw, Stephanie English, Carrie Fisher, Stephen Fitzlan, Alan Flying, Kay Freeborn, Stuart Freeborn, Wendy Froud, Steve Gawley, Julian Glover, Mark Hamill, Alan Harris, Ray Hassett, Kit Hiller, John Hollis, Mike Houston, Milton Johns, Joe Johnston, James Earl Jones, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, Colin Kitchens, Gary Kurtz, Melissa Kurtz, Tiffany Kurtz, Denis Lawson, Ian Liston, George Lucas, Christopher Malcolm, Peter Mayhew, Jack McKenzie, John Mollo, John Morton, Brian Muir, Dennis Muren, Terrence Mustoo, Frank Oz, Chris Parsons, Lorne Peterson, David Prowse, Ken Ralston, Clive Reville, Norman Reynolds, Doug Robinson, Deep Roy, Michael Sheard, Barry Summerfeld, Peter Suschintzky, Alan Swaden, Keith Swaden, Joe Viscocil, Robert Watts, Howie Weed, Billy Dee Williams and Jason Wingreen.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Think about how many signed Star Wars posters you have seen with Alec Guinness signature on them? Not many, maybe 10, maybe 15, but not more than 30. Then think about how many Empire Strikes Back posters you have seen with Guinness signature on them? The answer is simple, not many. I know of three or four, this is one of them. I'm fortunate enough to own this great piece which I'm going to keep very basic. Signed by 26 including:
Bob Anderson, Kenny Baker, Jeremy Bulloch, Ben Burtt, Ken Colley, Michael Culver, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Stuart Freeborn, Julian Glover, Alec Guinness, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, Gary Kurtz, Denis Lawson, George Lucas, Peter Mayhew, Frank Oz, David Prowse, Clive Reville, Peter Suschintzky, Billy Dee Williams and Jason Wingreen.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
When I first picked up this poster it had one signature, Harrison Ford. That's the reason I bought it. Since that day, i've added 21 more signatures to the posters, trying to keep it as basic as possible. This isn't going to be one of those massive projects where I have to add everyone and their mother. So here it is, 22 signatures include:
Bob Anderson, Kenny Baker, Jeremy Bulloch, Ken Colley, Michael Culver, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Stuart Freeborn, Julian Glover, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, Gary Kurtz, Denis Lawson, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, Clive Reville, Peter Suschintzky, Billy Dee Williams and Jason Wingreen.

Return of the Jedi (Style B)
I have to admit, this isn't one of my favorite posters on the planet and it's because of the art work. I love the Deathstar being blown up in the background by the rest of the artwork is pretty lame. This poster features 83 signatures. It includes:
