Description

The Empire Strikes Back (20th Century Fox, 1980). Rolled, Very Fine-. Australian One Sheet (26.5" X 39.75") Noriyoshi Ohrai Artwork.
Offered by Heritage only a handful of times, this original release Australian one sheet for The Empire Strikes Back is a rare and visually striking collectible, featuring the exceptional artwork of Noriyoshi Ohrai. Distinct from the American style A poster, this dynamic composition prominently includes Lando Calrissian, absent from its U.S. counterpart, alongside many of the film's iconic characters. The scene captures a poignant moment as Han leans in for a kiss with Leia before the Millennium Falcon, while Luke, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO stand poised for action. Above it all, Darth Vader looms in the star-filled sky, adding a powerful sense of foreboding that reflects the deepening drama of the Star Wars saga. Signs of use include moderate edge wear, some creases and dimpling, light scuffs, and a tear along the bottom border that is being braced by a few strips of plastic tape on the verso.
