...in Japan too, "Star Wars" is a big thing. Big enough for the Marunouchi area, one of Tokyo's seriously posh areas (its high-rises house names like Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bloomberg, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Deloitte Touche etc.) to host a treasure hunt (in Japanese "stamp rally" where you collect stamps from various spots) themed after the eight previous films. Here, the spot corresponding to "The Empire Strikes Back".
