Legioss Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Everything is cool except that guy with the hood looks funny and the star ring thingee on Vader's head is Kraft cheddar cheese. Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Everything is cool except that guy with the hood looks funny and the star ring thingee on Vader's head is Kraft cheddar cheese. Ah, the well over-used Photoshop sunburst effect... Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 They've placed Darth Vader perfectly. Nice poster. Quote
Radd Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Everything is cool except that guy with the hood looks funny and the star ring thingee on Vader's head is Kraft cheddar cheese. Ah, the well over-used Photoshop sunburst effect... It's only the overused Photoshop lens flare if Photoshop was involved. I was under the impression that all these posters were painted by hand. A lens flare by itself or achieved in ways other than a pasted in computer filter should not really be compared to the problem of overused computer lens flare filters. Remember why those filters are so despised, because it's basically a piece of clip art not created by the artist and simply pasted over an image without any skill or talent neccessary. And since they're so easy, they become abused by amaturish Photoshop artists. Quote

I think that guy Dru painted this poster; it seems to fit in with other artwork he has done. But then again, a lot of accomplished artists nowadays love the old drawing pad hooked up to the computer. Maybe he got lazy. Then again, it looks like he used Jasc Paint Shop Pro's lens flare effect... Quote
Guppy Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 where's dooku and the Grevious robot dude? I thought they were main players too. Quote

Mr March Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I've always enjoyed the Star Wars posters. Especially the Special Edition posters for the original Trilogy and all the official prequel posters. The themes really work for me and they always convey to the viewer the grand epic scale of the Star Wars films. This final poster doesn't disappoint. Quote
the white drew carey Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Yeah, Sidious (if that's who the hoodie-guy is supposed to be) looks wrong. If it is Drew Struzan, he does do everything by hand, so the lens flare effect is perfectly acceptable. edit in: I have the movie poster for ep.I (which was done by Struzan), and I cannot find a comparable signature to the one on the ep.III poster. But that doesn't prove anything, really, as I cannot seem to find the sig at all on the ep.I poster. Edited March 9, 2005 by the white drew carey Quote
bsu legato Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 That is indeed Drew Struzan, and he is the shiznit. Anybody who disagrees is a terrorist. BTW, his two previous Prequel Posters both had the so-called "photoshop" lens flare. Quote
peter Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I heard the official trailier is coming out next week. Quote
lt.actionjackson Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I thought the new trailer was coming out on Friday with the Robots premiere? Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 Tomorrow night, during The OC on Fox. What he said. Don't expect it to be until AFTER the OC has aired. Don't let FOX sucker you into to watching the whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it leaked today, though. One way or the other, it will be all overt the internet for download tomorrow night.

Agent ONE Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Fits right in with all the other SW posters. Awesome. Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 This poster with original characters in it, in some way it has the feeling like the OT nice Quote
Agent ONE Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Thanks BSU!! Thats not the New Hope one I remember though... But they all fit well. Quote
Hurin Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I'm pretty sure that the Vader in that new poster still has girly hands. H Quote

the white drew carey Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Yes and I am glad they re-did it... That looks hoakey. Hokey... yes. Still cool, though. You have to remember that the original '76 poster needed to convey a sense of adventure, excitement and sexiness to lure in a crowd. The SE posters were designed to appeal to the same crown that was originally lured in, and now knows Star Wars left and right- Hence, it more accurately reflects the feel of the films. Or, more importantly, plays off of how the fans percieve the films to be. Quote
zeo-mare Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 great posters, i still like the original ones alot, both the 1977-1980's and the special edition versions. to bad there is no general Grevious on the new poster. chris Quote

bsu legato Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Star Wars = 1977 Conan = 1981 I'd say that you have that backwards, my muscle-bound friend. Quote
Agent ONE Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Star Wars = 1977Conan = 1981 I'd say that you have that backwards, my muscle-bound friend. How am I backward? Conan may have come after, but its level of importance is infinitely greater. Quote
Ladic Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) I like this best. Edited March 9, 2005 by Ladic Quote
Mr March Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Now all we need is a decent DVD release of all the films with those posters for the sleeves Quote
