Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that this is a very rare promotional advertisement for the release of Star Wars on the Pioneer laserdisc system in Japan in 1989! Note that this Japanese B1 poster measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]. "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! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. There is very light surface discoloration scattered throughout the poster (mostly in a horizontal line at top). As can be seen in our image the discoloration is not very noticeable or distracting when the poster is displayed (it is mainly only seen in the blank areas and light-colored ones) but please be aware of the defect before bidding.
