![[ Star Wars Past, Present, and Future: The Official Celebration IV Poster ]](/community/event/celebration/img/20070323_sm.jpg)
One of the most iconic scenes in the entire six-movie
Star Wars saga features
Luke Skywalker on his home planet of
Tatooine, peering at the twin setting suns. As the Force Theme swells in the background, Skywalker ponders his destiny. Over the past 30 years, millions of
Star Wars fans the world over have been touched by that scene, and inspired to look to their own personal horizons.
The Star Wars Celebration IV commemorative poster captures the ardent emotions of this scene with stunning art by John Alvin, a world renowned artist and well known illustrator of cinema art. Alvin created this piece specifically for Celebration IV, to capture the essence of 30 years of Star Wars.
"Over the iconic Tatooine sunset we see what Luke can somehow sense as he first encounters his own destiny," writes Alvin in a description of his work. "The Anniversary graphic subtly but elegantly reveals itself as a magnificent nebula, bringing together the past, present, and future of the Star Wars saga."
Star Wars fans can purchase the Celebration IV poster at the Celebration Store throughout the show, May 24-28, while supplies last. Alvin will be available in the Exhibit Hall as well, selling his own limited-edition lithograph of another original Star Wars work he created for the Celebration Art Show.
Alvin has graciously offered to autograph the Celebration IV commemorative posters free of charge for any fans who purchase them in the Celebration Store and then take them to his booth in the Exhibit Hall. Alvin plans to be at Celebration IV throughout the weekend.
Alvin's work commemorating Star Wars bounty hunting legends, Jango Fett and Boba Fett, Like Father, Like Son is currently available at StarWarsShop.com.
