Rare, These Yoda Posters Are

NPR Yoda (McQuarrie)

Another poster based on book cover artwork, National Public Radio's broadcast of The Empire Strikes Back radio drama in 1983 was teased by this striking Ralph McQuarrie illustration, originally used for the cover of The Jedi Master's Quizbook. The bottom portion of these posters were left blank for station identification information, and most that are found today remain blank. The original cost to collectors for one of these rare posters in 1983 was around $25, the price of a donation to one's local NPR station. Today, originals (there has been a larger-sized reprint) can go for several hundred dollars.
