...everything you could every want to know about what this flick did in 1977 ...this poster has it.
Yeah! Scoop necklines, lotsa gams, and pecs pecs pecs 'til next Tuesday!
...oh wait, Star Wars had none of those things.
Sorry but that poster is utter crap. The real classic was the one with Luke pointing the blaster at the viewer, surrounded by the other characters. The one above is the square-peg-round-hole weird incongruous exploitation misstep.
That happens to be the poster fans of my generation first saw, and was most closely associated with the film for most of it's original run. Even Kenner used it's imagery. It's an idealized, stylized representation of our heroes, (quite common in classic movie posters of the day) something even I understood in 1977.
And I doubt Mark or Carrie are complaining. ;)
