While Star Wars has historically borrowed its tone from B-movies and swashbuckling serials, Rogue One brought a new, more serious approach to its subject matter. A gritty film that leads directly to the events of A New Hope, Rogue One was the first Star Wars movie to lean into the “war” part.

The original painting for the "Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope" half sheet poster, which became the first widely published image to ever promote the now-iconic franchise, is selling at auction for the first time at Heritage. Bidding begins at a whopping $1 million.
