Tim Hildebrandt, RIP

As much as I love the original Tom Jung Star Wars one sheet (and the Empire Strikes Back "Gone With the Wind" poster is pretty much my favorite movie poster ever) THIS is in many ways THE Star Wars poster to me:



It's a case where the knock-off was better known to me than the original. This was the poster that I saw in all the shops in '77 and this is the poster that hung in our fourth grade classroom.

Tim Hildebrandt died Sunday of complications due to diabetes at the age of 67.
