Description

Return of the Jedi (20th Century Fox, 1983). Rolled, Very Fine. Japanese B2 (20.25" X 28.75") Style B, Noriyoshi Ohrai Artwork.
Highly coveted among collectors, this rare 1983 Yamakatsu giveaway poster, often referred to as the "Starfall" style, features the breathtaking artwork of renowned Japanese illustrator Noriyoshi Ohrai. Distinguished by its vivid celestial imagery, dynamic composition, and focus on R2-D2 and C-3PO, the poster was never widely distributed; instead, it was offered exclusively at select theaters during the film's original release and, according to some accounts, through a special trading card promotion. This example exhibits light edge and corner wear, gentle creasing and dimpling, a few small border tears, and a small black ink mark at the lower right corner. A silver Toho sticker remains affixed at the bottom left corner.
