A New Hope, by Hidetaka Tenjin.

“Various Star Wars iconography has been redesigned into a more Japanese style over the years, but personally I've always wondered what Star Wars: A New Hope would look like if it were reimagined as a Japanese period piece. With this idea in mind, I attempted to create a theatrical poster resembling that of an Akira Kurosawa jidaigeki film by referencing classic posters in order to capture the feel of that era.”
