Forget everything you know about Star Wars before checking out these Hungarian Star Wars posters. These posters were created by an unknown artist, possibly for use in Hungarian movie theaters during the Cold War.
It is not uncommon for films to be released overseas with localized promotional art. The style of art is current with other Cold War works that featured menacing characters and monstrous characters.
What time period these Hungarian Star Wars posters first appeared in isn't all too important. What is important is that these posters put yet another new spin on the iconic franchise. I have seen my fair share of Star Wars art, but I have never seen anything quite like these Hungarian Star Wars posters. True Star Wars fans are definitely going to want to check these out.
