ROTS Theatrical poster out

Pretty cool, though I preferred the AOTC poster. There's not a single Star Destroyer or Clone/Stormtrooper on that poster! :cry:

1. Anakin's head seems too round.

2. Sidious' face looks worse than in RoTJ.

3. Obi Wan is looking old.

That is all.

The stardestroyers are on the ESB movie poster by the same artist. They don't need to be there for ROTS.

And I like them all. I had them all, too, til I moved house once too often, and now I have none.

That poster seems to be so sparsely drawn, for some reason. I'm excited, though.

I'm guessing that the artist is simply trying to showcase the characters' angry/depressed faces to show how dark the mood of the film is. Star Destroyers and Clone Troopers aren't really able to do that (too awe inspiring and faceless). The two fighters on the lower left might disprove what I just said, however.

This probably will make seeing an ROTS destroyer for the seemingly first time seem sweeter.

As was the TPM and AotC poster, simply amazing. I've loved both PT posters, and this one too. It almost doesn't fit the scheme though. Since the other two had a yellowish/orangish sun glow to the whole effect, this one has it, but in a small degree. It's mostly dominated by black. Either way though, it seems to still fit, and I think it's a great depiction.

I like it, although it would be interesting if they did a retro poster design further down the line.

Hmm. I like, but it doesn't stand out to me like the previous posters (especially the ROTJ poster).

At least there wasn't that much lens flare this time. I like the poster, but it isn't what I would call "great". And starwarsshop.com is charging $20?! That was rather expensive.

You can see his familiar signature at the lower left of the poster.

Could they have used a better one? yeah if it was done. But this is the one that's being used and I think it looks good.

Pretty spiffy. Yes, it needs some Star Destroyers, however.
