All money raised from the Star Wars sale goes to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Ukrainian Aid Appeal, which is providing food, water, shelter and healthcare to refugees and displaced families.

The poster was created in 1977, the same year the first ever Star Wars feature was released.

It was produced by the Brothers Hildebrandt and had a very limited release before being removed from circulation and replaced by a ‘style c’ poster featuring Tom Chantrell's artwork.

Due to its limited release, Prop Store believes this is one of the rarest Star Wars posters ever.
