Is it May the Fourth yet!?!?! Bottleneck Gallery is kicking off the May the 4th celebration a little early this week with an epic new screen print of Matt Ferguson’s officially licensed movie poster for Star Wars Episode I’s 25th Anniversary re-rerelease in theaters! As BNG explained, “Matt’s officially licensed work for the 40th anniversaries of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi garnered some of the biggest reactions we’ve seen for Star Wars art ever. The images were everywhere, and we were honored and excited to be able to release Matt’s prints through Bottleneck.”
Bottleneck Gallery went on to say, “Following up on Matt’s previous Star Wars anniversary posters, Disney and Lucasfilm sought out Matt again for Episode I’s milestone 25th anniversary, and the results are stellar! Channeling his lifelong love of Star Wars, Matt’s print for The Phantom Menace is the ultimate ode to the first Prequel Trilogy movie. Much like the Force, Matt’s poster is delicately balanced and invokes the awe we felt upon first seeing the film in theaters 25 years ago!”
