Raider, the second limited-edition Star Wars poster from Alamo Drafthouse's art boutique Mondo, sold out in 25 minutes Thursday.


The image -- a bold, badass vision of a Tusken Raider -- was created by Dave Kinsey, who hand-numbered the 24-inch-by-36-inch, screen-printed posters. The full run of 350 posters, which sold for $50 each, evaporated faster than an unlucky space slug that got in the way of a blaster.


Raider (pictured above) was just the latest sell-out from Mondo, the art shop run by Austin, Texas' Alamo Drafthouse, which might just be the coolest movie theater in the world. Previous Mondo poster sell-outs bore Star Trek and horror imagery.
