The Panasonic Star Wars campaign of the late '80s and early '90s was virtually unknown to fans living outside Japan until recent books and articles shed light into this elusive corner of Star Wars advertising.

From a campaign spanning dozens of different poster images, the one that probably gets the most giggles is this one -- yep, that's Wicket, Chewie, and the Maker himself riding an old-school satellite dish like a Nimbus 2000, all against a sunset background rivaling Bespin's best. Like the poster says, this is certainly "something new".
