A guaranteed original Japanese 'B2' movie poster from 1982 for "Star Wars", now known as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope".
Written and directed by George Lucas and nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, the film introduced us to Mark Hamill (as "Luke Skywalker"), Harrison Ford (as "Han Solo"), Carrie Fisher (as "Princess Leia"), Anthony Daniels (as "C-3PO"), Kenny Baker (as "R2-D2") and a host of actors now very familiar faces to all movie fans.
Note that Star Wars was released in Japan in 1978 and then re-released there in 1982. This wonderful poster is from the Japanese re-release.
As our photos show, it has never been folded and is lovely condition!
An unusual Japanese poster, featuring the classic artwork from the U.S. one sheet. This is a great way to pick up the Tom Jung artwork on an original poster, in a smaller format!
