An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese Movie Poster (known in Japan as a "B1" poster; measures 29" x 40 1/2") (Learn More) The Empire Strikes Back (now known as "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back"), the classic 1980 Irvin Kershner science fiction (sci-fi) outer space action adventure sequel ("The Star Wars Saga Continues"; "Story by George Lucas") starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Billy Dee Williams (as Lando Calrissian), Anthony Daniels ("as C-3PO"), David Prowse ("as Darth Vader"), Kenny Baker ("as R2-D2"), Peter Mayhew ("as Chewbacca"), Frank Oz ("as Yoda"), Alec Guinness (as Obi-Wan Kenobi), Jeremy Bulloch (as Boba Fett), and John Hollis (as Lobot)v NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures approximately 29" x 40"! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall! Also note that the poster has a very similar image to that of the U.S. advance poster, and that it is dated 1979, so it seems quite possible this is a Japanese advance! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster was folded across the middle and had two evenly spaced vertical folds. There were many creases and a few tiny areas of paper loss and surface scuffing down both of the vertical foldlines, and a lesser amount in the horizontal fold. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the above defects are really not at all distracting, and are barely noticeable, except from inches away. Learn More about condition grades
