Hakata is a ward of Fukuoka City that is famous for its ramen. Back in June, The Gaijin Ghost reported for TDR Explorer on a 42-foot Star Wars float that was coming to the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival. Upon returning from a two-day trip to the festival last month, yours truly also posted a breaking news item to /Film about the float’s appearance at the festival.

Some of the pictures in that article, however, appear to have lost resolution. Here you can see better quality versions, along with some additional pics/video that were not included in the article.
