George Lucas's Star Wars (1977) redefined the scale and commercial ambition of Hollywood genre filmmaking, and its Japanese theatrical debut in June 1978 generated extraordinary cultural impact in Japan, where it became a foundational text for the generation of filmmakers and artists who came of age in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This original Japanese B2 features the classic Tom Jung compositional artwork used for the initial Japanese campaign, marked as the dubbed Japanese-language version (日本語版). The combination of the iconic illustrated artwork and the Japanese release-specific typography makes this a document of Star Wars as a specifically Japanese cultural event. Original theatrical paper from the 1978 Japan release is among the most sought-after items in the category of Hollywood science fiction collecting.
