Star Wars: 26 For 76

20th Century Fox (1976)

This poster could very easily be described as the first piece of Star Wars memorabilia designed for public consumption. While it makes no direct reference to the film, this poster is the first acknowledgement that 20th Century Fox had greenlit the fledgling production as one of the twenty-six films referenced on the poster. It was produced exclusively for a January 1976 Fox sales convention designed to solicit bids from theater owners to help finance the production.

I feel like being extremely online can warp your brain and make you behave in really narcissistic or paranoid ways. I’ve seen it, and I’ve gone through it a bit myself. What’s important is you remember who you actually are deep down. In my case, this is pretty much it.
