Set of 8 original 1977 Star Wars lobby cards from the first theatrical release

History

These lobby cards were produced for the original 1977 theatrical release of Star Wars (later retitled Episode IV: A New Hope), distributed by 20th Century Fox. Lobby cards were standard 11x14 inch promotional materials displayed in theater lobbies to advertise upcoming and current films. The original Star Wars release included eight different scene cards showcasing key moments and characters from the film, making complete sets highly desirable among collectors. Star Wars lobby cards from the first 1977 printing are prized by film memorabilia collectors, science fiction enthusiasts, and Star Wars fans worldwide. These cards represent a tangible piece of cinema history from one of the most influential and beloved films ever made. Complete sets in good condition are particularly valued because they capture the original marketing campaign before the franchise became a global phenomenon, making them both historically significant and increasingly rare as original materials from 1977 continue to age and deteriorate.
