LEGO is giving Star Wars Day a charming twist that’s less Wookie, more woodblock. In celebration of both Star Wars Day and Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan, the toymaker is releasing an adorable collection of posters that bring the galaxy far, far away into the world of ukiyo-e, the classical Japanese art style best known for its expressive lines and scenic compositions.
The artwork, illustrated by Irish artist Seán Donnan, takes familiar characters from the Star Wars universe and drops them into traditionally inspired Japanese landscapes akin to the Great Wave scenes portrayed by Katsushika Hokusai. Unveiled during Star Wars Celebration at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, the four-print Star Wars Japan Vacation Posters set spans all four seasons.

These stunning posters represent one of the more artful ways the franchise continues to bring new perspectives to a well-worn (and well-loved) universe.
