Polish posters always have a unique surreal quality to them. The Polish graphic designer Jakub Erol, a laureate of the National Print Biennale (1973 and 1985) and the International Poster Biennale (1986), focused on C-3PO, paining him in glistening gold against a starry background.

This was where it all begun back in 1977, when George Lucas brought us the beginning of the Star Wars empire.
