Per Theforce.net , de skådespelare du ser i affischen är Mark Hamill och Carrie Fisher, om än starkt stiliserad.
Poster du har visat var en " reimagining " (t.ex. en kopia) av en tidigare affisch ritad av Tom Jung (se nedan). Hildebrand-bröderna fick Jung-affischen, men inte headshots av Carrie Fisher och Mark Hamill och bad om att göra det till en uppsättning färgade filmaffischer.
"We had a problem with Carrie Fisher," noted Jung, "because they wanted to make her more glamorous. I got my wife to pose for the drawing, and I changed the hairdo and shoved the paint around until I came up with the figure you see now. Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, loved the poster. She called David Weitzner at Fox's advertising department and asked if she could have the painting, so he asked me to do a duplicate painting, which is now hanging in Carrie Fisher's house. The original painting is at Skywalker Ranch." Cinefantastique Feb. '97 (by Lawrence French)

It wasn’t used, but we did it overnight, so they called us and said we need a poster fast.” Star Wars Poster Book
