4. Lando Comes Out On Top

There's no getting around artist Noriyoshi Ohrai when discussing Japanese Star Wars posters. This is the second of three we've chosen for this list, once again exhibiting the artist's talent for pairing humans with hardware and using an unexpected, fresh color palette.

This artwork proved so popular that it was used by several countries outside of Japan for The Empire Strikes Back, including a rare Spanish-language one-sheet printed in the US.
