This is Cool! Star Wars Episode I Phantom Menace 1999 Anakin Vader Shadow Promo Photo 11x14
Item Description:
Up for auction/sale is a rare, original vintage promotional photo/mini-poster for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. This 14" x 11" print features the legendary "Shadow" teaser artwork, depicting young Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) on the sands of Tatooine, casting the ominous shadow of his future self, Darth Vader.
This is an authentic promotional piece released during the massive marketing campaign leading up to the film’s 1999 debut.
Product Details:
• Film: Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace
• Subject: Young Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader "Shadow" Teaser
• Dimensions: 11 inches (H) x 14 inches (W)
• Year: Circa 1998–1999
• Copyright: Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM (Visible in bottom left corner)
• Studio: 20th Century Fox / Lucasfilm Ltd.
Condition Report:
• Front: The colors remain vibrant with a nice matte/semi-gloss finish. The image is crisp. There is some minor "waviness" to the paper and light edge wear consistent with its age.
• Back: The reverse side shows natural "tanning" or yellowing due to age (see photos), which is common for paper stock from this era and helps verify its vintage authenticity.
• Overall: Great "displayable" condition. Looks fantastic when framed!
Why This Is a Must-Have:
The "Shadow" poster is a cornerstone of Star Wars iconography. It perfectly captured the tragic weight of the prequel trilogy before a single frame of the movie was ever seen by the public. This 11x14 size is perfect for home theaters, offices, or Star Wars "man caves."

Shipping Information
PLEASE NOTE: I only ship one (1) day a week, so please, if you pay on a Wednesday (example day), and I just went to the post that week, and I don't go till the following Thursday (another example day), this means your item will not be shipped for eight (8) days. It is miles to the post, and I have regular work, for this I am sorry. If you pay for Priority, this is just the "form" of shipping, not that I jump up and ship it that day. Thank you for understanding. We charge for Priority shipping in the US, all others please inquire.
NOTE: I do not ship anything Media Mail unless it can be shipped Media, so please don't ask. Also, please check shipping options on items before asking; there are usually multiple options listed. I do refund overage on shipping; it usually takes up to two days after the item is shipped.
New Note on Shipping
It seems eBay is taking a percentage of all shipping I charge you, and then PayPal takes their percentage. Having said this, I have found I am losing between $0.50 cents to $1.50 on every package I send out. This is wrong of them, but it means I have to add a "handling charge" to all packages I mail out. Please complain to eBay for all us small sellers. This is not right, but I can't afford to lose $15.00 to $25.00 average a week. There will be a $1 (US) and $2 (Foreign) handling charge to all packages.
Note on International Shipping
I cannot put proof of delivery on packages out of the United States. If you want to have the package tracked, add $30.00 to shipping, or you accept (by bidding) that the US Customs label is acceptable as proof of delivery. If not, I am sorry, I cannot be responsible for lost or delayed packages. I can only prove I mailed it. Sometimes your country's Customs takes a long time to clear. We do use eBay Global Shipping when available.
