The Empire Strikes Back, Laserdisc, CBS/FOX Video Japan, 1984

The first release of The Empire Strikes Back on laserdisc in Japan, released in 1984. The film comes in cropped fullscreen, with analog stereo sound and Japanese subtitles. The film is spread across three sides in the CLV format.

The OBI also promotes the other Star Wars titles then available on Laserdisc. Japanese laserdiscs command a higher price if they come with their original OBI, a price/information strip that is common on Japanese media but often discarded by the original buyer.
