Ooops, wrong movie
I've seen various weird vintage STAR WARS posters, I do have few albums and CD-ROM encyclopedia... I've seen Hungarian, Japanese designs, I have shown you here weird artsy-fartsy Polish posters, but this IMHO tops even the "zombie C-3PO"!

quote from the website: it looks like Mechachewbacca
Now - not all of you have this book, besides I'm not sure if this information is given here, so let me give you few bits of info from that website:
STAR WARS was, just as all Western stuff, hard to get in countries "behind the Iron Curtain". As I revealed to you some time ago, I was able to see it on the big screen only because of the 2-3 year delay.
Of course in Soviet Union it had to be worse than that.
The trilogy was initially available only on the black market as pirate VHS(?) copies. Years later the trilogy was shown in Soviet TV as 5-part TV series (much as original George's concept, LOL!). The movie(s) had premiere in USSR cinemas in 1990 and that year also applies to the poster shown above.
I'm dying to hear your comments
P.S.: oh, and one more thing: I'm not an expert, but I guess the correct pronunciation is "zvyezdnye vayny"
P.P.S.: oh, another important thing I noticed on the poster
- hats off to the "reds" for naming the movie genre as "cosmic [=space] western". much more appropriate than bland "science-fiction"
