Attack of the Clones IMAX® Poster For Sale to Star Wars Insider™ Subscribers


October, 2002 Bellevue, Washington. Fans who are current subscribers to Star Wars Insider magazine can purchase the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones IMAX poster directly from the Official Star Wars Fan Club.

The poster, which will be available in limited quantities, features a giant Yoda striding across North America, brandishing his lightsaber. Created by artist David McMacken for the theatrical release, these are the same striking, double-sided posters that will be on display in IMAX theatres across the U.S. and Canada when Attack of the Clones opens November 1.

The Official Star Wars Fan Club will ship the posters with collectors’ standards in mind. Posters will be packed using real white-glove handling, with added protection to prevent damage. They will be shipped rolled in round tubes, then packed with bubble wrap inside triangular mailing tubes. Posters will be shipped priority to purchasers in the U.S., Canada, and in most other countries.*

"Paizo Publishing is very proud to offer this item," said Vic Wertz, Director of Product Development for the Fan Club. "This the first time that Paizo is able to bring a unique product like this to our customers. It's also great that this is the same double-sided Star Wars theatrical poster that will be in the theaters." Double-sided posters are printed with the front image reversed on the back to make them especially vivid when they're placed in a backlit display, such as a theatrical lightbox.

The IMAX poster will be available only while supplies last. To order, Insider subscribers can go to http://www.paizopublishing.com/imax.shtml. Posters are $24.95 each plus shipping (Shipping rates: US: $7 for one +$1 each additional poster, Canada: $17 for one +$1 each additional poster; Foreign:* $25 for one + $1 for each additional poster).
