Star Wars Original Trilogy Special Edition Print Series by Drew Struzan x Bottleneck Gallery

Bottleneck Gallery’s New York Comic Con 2025 week continues with a gorgeous new release dedicated to the movie poster maestro, Drew Struzan! The Blot had the honor to meet Mr. Struzan a number of years ago and see some of his amazing artwork in person.  The man is truly a legend, and his Star Wars movie posters for the original trilogy may be some of his most iconic works!

As BNG explained, “Drew’s movie posters are some of the most influential movie posters of all time. Drew’s uncanny ability to capture likeness while still maintaining a fresh and unique style is unparalleled, and his posters have entranced us for decades. In 1996 and 1997, Drew crafted three posters for the special edition release of the original Star Wars trilogy. His art speaks for itself, and is classic Drew through and through! These three images have never been officially released as screen prints, and we’re so proud to be able to get these into the hands of both Drew and Star Wars fans.”

The images were an intergalactic hit, and we’re honored to present the newest print in Matt’s ongoing series for the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.”

“Matt’s Revenge of the Sith print keeps Darth Vader as the centerpiece, a consistent motif used throughout Matt’s previous anniversary prints, and features a fiery duel of the fates as Anakin and Obi-Wan duke it out on Mustafar’s volcanic grounds.
