This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1980 for the ADVANCE first release of The Empire Strikes Back.

One of the best ways to notify audiences of a continuation to the blockbuster hit, Star Wars, was to showcase the world recognized image of the evil Darth Vader, as seen in this poster from the much loved sequel.

The film was released in Japan in 1980, shortly after the US Release. 

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.
