“Star Wars” (スター・ウォーズ), Rare Hildebrandt Brothers Promotional Poster 1977, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P27A
This is an original Japanese-market B2 promotional poster from 1977 for Star Wars (later known as Episode IV: A New Hope). The artwork is by the Hildebrandt brothers (their credit “HILDEBRANDT” appears within the image), making this a particularly desirable crossover piece—part vintage cinema paper, part collectible illustration art.
Poster design
A classic, high-impact painted composition: Darth Vader’s looming helmet dominates a starfield, with Luke raising a lightsaber in the foreground beside Leia, while C-3PO and R2-D2 stand to the right and X-wings streak overhead. It’s bold, dramatic, and instantly recognisable—exactly the kind of heroic, airbrushed spectacle that made late-1970s sci-fi poster art so iconic. Framed, it presents like a statement piece.
It is over 48 years old!
