A striking limited-edition screen print poster for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, created by artist Ty Mattson and officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. The poster is numbered 19 out of a total edition of 225 and is hand-signed by the artist in the lower left corner, confirming its status as a genuine limited-edition fine art print.
The design takes a bold, reductive approach to the source material, rendered exclusively in red, black, and white. The upper portion features a dramatically cropped view of Darth Vader’s legs and boots standing on a white platform or surface — an iconic image rendered with graphic, almost constructivist simplicity. The lower half depicts the Sarlacc pit from the Tatooine desert sequence, shown from above as a spiralling vortex of concentric dashed lines with white triangular teeth radiating outward from a dark central mass.
The typography is clean and authoritative, set in bold white spaced caps: RETURN / OF / THE / JEDI. The overall aesthetic draws heavily on mid-century graphic design traditions, reminiscent of Saul Bass or Polish film poster design.
This is a highly collectible piece for Star Wars fans and fans of contemporary alternative movie poster art alike. The combination of low edition size, official licensing, artist signature, and exceptional graphic design makes this a standout collector’s item.
No visible folds, tears, or foxing evident in the detail shots. The print shows the natural texture and speckle effects characteristic of screen printing on coloured stock — these are intentional design elements, not damage. A small cluster of ink speckles is visible near the lower right of the title area, consistent with the print’s aesthetic. Overall appears to be in excellent condition.
