CLASSIC POSTER ART: LUKE AND TAUNTAUN ON HOTH


I'm a big fan of this great artwork by William Stout for EMPIRE that was used back in the early eighties for a National Philharmonic Orchestra recording of John Williams timeless score (currently available on CD from Varese Sarabande music). As far as I'm aware, it's appeared on several sci-fi related magazine covers over the years but has never been commercially available as a poster or other piece of memorabilia in the UK. If anyone's got any more information on its commission, or, even better, if they have a higher res scan that shows the full image so that I could use it at its best on the site, please get in touch - thank you.

The classic art as seen in FANTASTIC FILMS  magazine-18th September 1980.
