AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Japanese B2 poster commemorating the release of the Japanese-dubbed version of Star Wars on 15 May 1982, featuring artwork by celebrated Japanese illustrator Noriyoshi Ohrai.
The spectacular composition places the Millennium Falcon at the centre of a richly coloured cosmic scene, with Darth Vader looming above, alongside the Death Star, X-wing fighters and the film’s principal characters.
This commemorative design was associated with the 1982 Japanese theatrical release of the dubbed version, rather than the film’s original 1977 release.
The lower margin bears the printed inscription:
“In commemoration of the release of the Japanese-dubbed version which starts from May 15 (Sat), 1982.”
Ohrai’s printed signature appears at the lower right of the illustration.
Details:
• Film: Star Wars / A New Hope
• Director: George Lucas
• Country of poster: Japan
• Poster edition: 1982
• Artist: Noriyoshi Ohrai
• Format: Japanese B2, approximately 51.5 × 72.8 cm
• Unframed
Condition:
Good overall visual appearance, with strong colours and complete margins. Light paper waviness and minor handling creases are visible, particularly on the reverse and near the corners. Please examine the photographs carefully for the condition of the item.
A striking Japanese Star Wars design, particularly appealing to collectors of Noriyoshi Ohrai’s artwork and Millennium Falcon imagery.
Shipping:
Carefully rolled and protected in a sturdy shipping tube. Tracked shipping. Poster sold unframed.
