*The noble tauntaun is a major element in nearly all poster concepts for The Empire Strikes Back (front). The film-makers had three version of the creature ready: man-in-beast suit; full sized mechanical; and stop motion miniature. Most scenes in the movie use the latter. National Public Radio did its own sequel, with a serial devoted to Empire. For the poster (back), they chose this pensive-looking Yoda painted by Ralph McQuarrie. *Source: Back of card
