“A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …”

An original American Half Sheet movie poster from 1980 for “The Empire Strikes Back” - regarded by many as the best of all the Star Wars sequels. 

An epic space opera film based on a story by George Lucas and directed by Irvin Kershner, and the sequel to Star Wars (1977). It is the second film in the Star Wars film series and the fifth chronological chapter of the "Skywalker Saga". Set three years after the events of Star Wars, the film recounts the battle between the malevolent Galactic Empire, led by the Emperor, and the Rebel Alliance, led by Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

As the Empire goes on the offensive, Luke trains to master the Force so he can confront the Emperor's powerful disciple, Darth Vader. The ensemble cast includes Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, and Frank Oz.

“I am your father … Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.”

“Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking ... nerf-herder!”
