Set of three Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back posters:
I thought Burger King had a monopoly on Star Wars promotions after A New Hope, but sure enough Burger Chef had a small role in promoting the first Star Wars sequel. This poster set appears in a 1980 Burger Chef commercial.
I asked the artist, Boris Vallejo about the history of this series and he said, "The posters were actually done originally as a promotional campaign for the Coca Cola Company, to be given away at movie theaters that showed "The Empire Strikes Back". Subsequently they found other avenues."
So these posters were not exclusive to Burger Chef and therefor do not contain the Burger Chef mark like the original 1977 Star Wars posters. Similarly, the King Kong collectible glasses distributed by Burger Chef (another Coca Cola promotion) do not bear a Burger Chef mark.






Where can I buy these, I have found none on ebay?
