This is an original, rolled, Japanese B2 teaser movie poster from 1980 for the Star Wars: Episode V - Empire Strikes Back. This poster is highly sought after by Japanese Star Wars poster collectors and is particularly rare. The poster features a tie-up with the Tokyo Fire Department to celebrate their 100th anniversary! We uncovered this very rare poster after a second hand bookstore in Fukushima closed down for business after the economy of the area was very negatively affected after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

The film was released in Japan in 1980, shortly after the US Release. The artwork is by Noriyoshi Ohrai.

This poster is in very good condition.

The Empire Strikes Back, also known as Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, is a 1980 American epic space opera film directed by Irvin Kershner and written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas. The second installment in the original Star Wars trilogy, as the sequel to Star Wars (1977), it is the second film in the franchise to be produced, and the fifth episode of the "Skywalker saga". The story is set three years after the events of the first film, as the Galactic Empire hunts the scattered Rebel Alliance throughout the galaxy. While Darth Vader relentlessly pursues Luke Skywalker's friends—Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca—Luke studies the Force under Jedi Master Yoda to prepare himself for his upcoming confrontation with Vader.
