Size Guide

For walls above furniture, choose a print roughly two thirds to three quarters the width of the piece below it. Smaller sizes up to 11x14 inches suit gallery walls. Larger formats of 18x24 inches and above create striking focal points.

The Empire Strikes Back poster brings together the defining moments of the 1980 sequel in one bold, classic collage layout. As the second chapter in the original trilogy, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back deepened the saga with darker themes, emotional reveals, and some of the most iconic imagery in cinematic history.

This Empire Strikes Back poster print centers around C-3PO and R2-D2 against the icy backdrop of Hoth, while Darth Vader looms in fiery contrast on the right. Surrounding panels highlight key scenes: Luke Skywalker training with Yoda on Dagobah, Han Solo and Princess Leia, the Hoth AT-AT assault, and the unforgettable Luke vs Vader lightsaber duel.
