Nice concept, but not my favourite poster in the world. By a long way.

I don't like it. Episodes one and two had better posters. This one looks too... 'blunt' I guess.

Well, it's a teaser poster. It can't be too busy. The Episode I poster is the best of the PT teaser posters, IMO.

Yeah, I know all about teasers versus release posters. I just would have gone with a different concept, that's all.

And yeah, Episode I had the best teaser of the prequels.

Anything that has Natalie Portman on it can't be all bad. :)

I have to say this looks pretty weak... every fake I've seen before had a better design than this real one.

I don't know. The pornographic photoshop of the ep 2 teaser that floated around the internet was pretty nice.

Eh, not bad. Though wish they had the subtlely of the EP1 poster with this particular thought.

Kinda silly looking compared to the simplicity of the first two.

You see that site's menu background image of Anakin surrounded by flames? They should have done that. I want a fullsized picture of that.

It's not bad. I would have liked something maybe with Obi-Wan in it. Or Palpatine. Maybe with each one of them on a different side of Anakin, like the TTT posters with Aragorn and Eowyn/Arwen.

Were they trying to imply that Anakin becomes Vader, or Jabba the Hutt?

Anakin himself is looking pretty bad-ass. The red lightsaber is more than enough to make the point without that huge fugly quasi-Vader face.

Seeing this, I bet that the final duel will not be blue vs blue the *entire* time, at least.

I agree; it's decent, but I liked the fake Anakin one better.

I have to admit, after looking at the pic a few more times, I´m really warming up to the twisted Vader-mask. It looks more sinister and grotesque than in the actual movies. Like they´re reminding us that this whole "turn to the Dark Side"-deal is NOT good for him.

Not bad. At first I was a bit skeptical towards the Vader image, but it grew on me.

Not too thrilled with it. Franky it looks like some fan made piece of shit and certainly not as good as I's or II's. Ep I's poster said ALOT in that one picture. Ep. II emphasized the romance and was just very pretty. This one is just UGH.

You could say the pic symbolizes Vader´s ugly deeds and his reward.
