Vintage 70 bootleg Star Wars Trust Your Instincts t-shirt

Post by Keelershawn »

Story is these shirts came out before the first Star Wars was ever released in 77. They we’re not licensed and we’re considered bootleg. Lucas was furious and somehow purchased or received the whole lot of shirts in a lawsuit. Then he gave them to ILM to use as rags. My father worked for ILM for 24 years and kept one. I have it now. Any ideas on where to list to sell or any websites to get further information? Thanks

This is amazing - we followed up with the user and he shared his entire story with us, and more star wars tees....worn by a legend:
