Is this a new pic of the ANH Graflex?

[Probe Droid]

This is a new poster the Star Wars shop is now offering. I don't recall ever seeing this pic before, which makes me wonder if it's genuinely vintage (there's lots of them never released), or some doctored up photoshop deal made last week.

Gives you a good look at the bottom of the Gralex including the D-ring assembly.

Anyone recognize the pic?

I've never seen that pic before. Looks like it is an early photo maybe during costume tests? Luke in black is interesting. I'm also guessing that this poster is a new creation.

The black costume is the one LUKE wore at the Yavin ceremony. It looks like an old publicity PIC we've never seen before. I'm sure LFL has tons of PICS that have never seen the light of day.:lol

It's one of those images that makes you go, "Ew! She's his sister!" :cry

Here's a variation shot of that for sale,

I forget how much it was, but the price was pretty crazy...

The poster is $30.

From what I have seen, yes that is the ANH Graflex.

There are several different shots of Mark in that costume from that photo session. In some he has the bladed stunt that was the Luke and Vader dueling saber in ANH, in other shots he's holding the Graflex with no blade added.

I'm the artist and designer of that piece.

I used a variety of reference when painting it, (Including my own Graflex) as well as some artistic license. It's designed to be the first piece in a triptych.

Whether or not the other two pieces get printed depends on the success of tthe first one.

I've seen photos of Mark from that photoshoot with an unbladed, non-stunt Graflex.

Is that a photoshop of a graflex top over the bladed stunt saber?

Russ,

I REALLY like the one in the middle. I don't buy a lot of posters, but I'd buy that. I love that specific style.

Always cool to see a production pic I've never seen before (oh, to spend a day--even an afternoon sifting through the pictures in the archives).

Joe C--I love the Saul Bass tribute poster in the middle!

(edit-SFPROPS beat me to it!)

Ah I was gonna say it's a painting. Nice work.

Thanks, Guys!

The other pics from that session of Hamill have him holding the saber he had in the Holiday special. Weird!

Heres another photo from the session:

The Leia pic is the one where they are all together and she's all rubbing up on Chewie. No?

You might be thinking of this image - But you have mistaken me for Leia (happens all the time for some reason....)
