Star Wars poster under wraps

While Star Wars fans around the globe continue their ongoing wet-dream of impatience for the new movie, Lucas has pushed the bounds of publicity one stage further by tightening security around last week's print run for the "Star Wars - The Phantom Menace" cinema poster. In what was called "an unusually large print run" - you don't say - at an LA printers, both Fox executives and Lucasfilm honchos were on hand to ensure the colour and print quality were top notch. It is generally agreed that the poster consists of a young man - possibly young Luke - standing in a desert. The poster should be in US cinemas on November 20 when - stop press - the trailer gets the big screen treatment. It should reach UK shores the following week so get your spanners ready . . .
