The Empire Strikes Back: Advance. 1979.
Delivering the first word of The Empire Strikes Back to audiences, this advance poster was absolutely chilling and goosebump-inducing when first spied in the early months of 1980. Last we'd seen of Vader, his TIE Fighter was spiraling out into the unknown void after clipping the solar panel of a wingman, in the final tense minutes of Episode IV. The spectral image returns from the void, a harbinger of Episode V's revelation.
