| After seeing Shawn's wonderful framing limelight and reading the wonderful one over on RS, I decided that it's high time to start our own.  I went on a bit of a framing rampage this weekend. The local hobby/craft store was having an insane sale this weekend so I decided to splurge a bit. I've got many more framing projects on my To Do List, but these three won out this round.   The first poster on the left is the Celebration 5 Boba Fett poster. I just love this imagery and think it's a striking design. The Celebration info just adds to the overall image IMO. The middle poster is a mylar Darth Vader poster that was used at Burger King here in the US in conjunction of the release of Episode 3 in 2006. The poster on the far right is a Episode 3 version of the Star Wars Style D poster, or the Circus Poster as it's been called sometimes. I've wanted this poster for awhile as I have the original SW Style D poster and the imagery on this is such a cool homage to the original. I picked it up at C5 and even had the artist, Matt Busch, sign it for me. |

| Cool prints, guys! Shawn, what is that print of Luke assembling his lightsaber with Vader in the background? I've never seen that before, and that is freaking rad!  |

| Very nice! How much were the frames?
I've always wanted to frame some posters but the prices of the frames completely put me off. |

Thanks and I 100% agree The print is called "Knight of Passage" and it was done by Jerry VanderStelt. It can be ordered here They have a paper and canvas version with each limited to 150. - Squad Leader wrote:

I've always wanted to frame some posters but the prices of the frames completely put me off. For the two prints I ordered from hollywoodposterframes.com. I found their pricing to be quite reasonable for archival materials and they have some of the best communication I've had in dealing with a website. For the ad slick I used americanframe.com and it was also a good experience. You do have to put together some of the materials from them, but it isn't too difficult. |

| Star wars rocks ! got this from the fan club maybe 15 years ago , came with a little tag signed by Hugh Flemming ( artist ) and numbered . There really just isn't enough wall space for all the prints I like , but eventually would like to get the Adam Hughes Leia , and a Mcquarrie docking bay 94 . Those are the only other 2 I would want up . Well unless someone gives me a "happy birthday star wars poster" yeah , ok , I would put that up too .
