Revenge of the Sith poster.. um, yeeaaah…
Okay not sure if y’all saw this yet, but the new Star Wars Episode III teaser poster is probably one of the crappiest posters I’ve seen in a long time, not to mention the whack Photoshop job done to it. It has Anakin Skywalker on the right and his crazy flowing cape forms the visage of Darth Vader on the left. I’m sure the idea “sounded” cool initially, but it just looks really stupid. I thought it was another joke, but they’re actually selling it on StarWars.com!
I actually liked the fake one where they took an image from Star Wars Insider of Anakin on the deck of a Rebel cruiser and you see a slight reflection of Vader on the floor. They could’ve used that idea and touched it up - it would be a better concept update to the kid Anakin shadow from the Episode I teaser poster. Hopefully a much better Drew Struzan painted, non-teaser poster will be out soon.
Yeah, so I think the official poster is so bad, that I won’t even show it on my site, haha.
But here’s a link: Is this really the best they can come up with?
MORE News: The first Episode III teaser trailer will be online Thursday, November 4th on StarWars.com’s Hyperspace club/forum sometime in the afternoon, let me know if you see it then. Then it will make its theactrical debut the next day with The Incredibles. Oh yeah! And let’s not forget a nice little teaser preview for Pixar’s Cars which comes out in 2005. That’s so boss.
i freakin hate hayden christiansen (or however the fuck u spell his name..) and his constipated acting anyway. god, just thinking about his “angry face” makes me not even want to watch the next one. but of course i have to. because, hey, it’s starwars. even the child anakin in ep1 was a horrible actor. i think the olsen twins would have done a better job.

…. anyways.
yea. i like the fake poster better too. there’s a nice subtlety (colors, comp) and much less (graphically) obvious allusion to DV. plus the reference actually makes sense (”shadow” “reflection”). do you have any idea WHO designed the real one? shiver.
