  Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

  £225.00

  “Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.”

  A Style A. educational Boy’s Photo News poster for George Lucas sci fi classic sequel, “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back“. These officially endorsed special posters (just a little bit larger than a Japanese B2) were produced in 1980 for display in Japanese schools and libraries, introducing younger audiences to the Star Wars universe, with its innovative and memorable characters and its groundbreaking special effects and they are very apparent here with a combination of artwork – the cloud city of Bespin, AT-ATs (All Terrain Armoured Transports) and photographic screen shots of Yoda (training Luke), an attacking TIE fighter and the Millennium Falcon landing at the Cloud City. These posters are rare and only ever available in Japan, making them one of the harder Star Wars posters to track down and offer. Offered conservation linen backed, with no restoration this originally rolled (as issued) example presents beautifully and makes a fine addition for any collector of movie posters or Star Wars memorabilia…“They’ve encased him in Carbonite. He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is.”

  Trivia: Boba Fett is never referred to by name in this movie. He is always referred to as “the bounty hunter” by other characters. However, a deleted scene included in the Blu-ray set shows Leia tending to Luke’s wounds and says “a bounty hunter named Boba Fett” has taken Han Solo.

  Trivia:The entire Millennium Falcon was built life size for the first and only time for this instalment (only half of the spacecraft was constructed for Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), and just part of it was used for the deleted sandstorm scene in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)). It measured sixty-five feet (19.8 meters) in diameter and sixteen feet (4.8 meters) in height, with a mandible giving it an overall length of eighty feet (24.3 meters). The Falcon’s weight was twenty-three tons (23 metric tons).
