Although Terpning painted the finished poster, the design was conceived by freelance art director Tom Jung, who also conceived the posters for Star Wars (1977) and Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980), the original theatrical poster for the latter employing a similar pose with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher (1956–2016)).
