    Definitely the original theatrical release posters. I actually thought the Special Edition posters were the originals. This site has taught me many things.

    Borderline off-topic but the Olly Moss poster art is my current favorite:

    that is a really hard choice but it has to be the originals just because that what I remember being displayed out side the cinema as a coming soon indictment plus I had The originals on VHS with those covers & The RotJ soundtrack on tape (Which I played to death both at home & in my Dad`s car on holidays with Luke`s hand holding the lightsaber poster on it so very much a nostalgic memory)

    But I was lucky enough to go to the Secret Cinema ESB showing this summer & picked up the following poster which is I think very cool

    I love these posters, they are so unique and creative. Makes me feel sad when I think about the TFA official poster, so simple and not artistic, just a colage....at least the four Imax poster for the film are pretty nice.

    Both sets are fantastic, though part of me wants to go with the Special Edition since Drew Struzan is the man.

    Gonna have to go with the Special Editions. I grew up scanning every aspect of them on the front of the VHS box set. It's a personal thing. I adore all the originals, though.

    I rather like both sets, but the funny thing is, neither of those are really what I think of when I think of the OT in such a way. This is:

    Especially Empire's.

    I like the theatrical posters because of the little details such as Darth Vader looming in the background of each one, just as he is an ever present threat throughout the trilogy.
