French 1980 ESB press-kit poster
This small poster was aimed at movie industry professionals (mostly theater owners and press) to introduce the upcoming sequel to Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back;

It is printed on glossy paper and measures roughly 24x31.5cm which is a pretty odd format for France where standards are multiple of A4-size (21x29.7 cm);

The front side shows the official ESB French poster but the back is also interesting; it reminds the success of Star Wars and compares both films in terms of special effects; The text on the right describes the first minutes of the movie;

In the middle, a list details promotional material available: theatrical posters 400x300cm and 120x160cm; small posters 40x60cm; lobby cards 10 photos sets A & B; stills 100,200,300,400,600mm
