The female role difference in the force awakens one is cool compared especially to the original trilogy.

I didn't know Bryan Cranston was in Return of the Jedi!

C3PO and R2D2 made it to 5 out of seven.

WHERE IS LUKE!?
Sauroctonus
I'm guessing he dies and comes back as a Force Ghost.

I used to have a early run movie poster of "Revenge Of The Jedi" before the title changed. No idea what happened to it! FML
ThinkOfABetterNameLater
Didn't the Hildebrandts do one for Ep 4? Or was it for an art book?

It was actually confirmed by the studio that Drew Struzan was not the artist for The Force Awakens
Starkoss
Yep. Source for anyone who's interested: https://twitter.com/missingwords/status/655785807932878848
liamario
Unfortunately people don't seem to be interested.
StonesOnTheHill
Imagine seeing these posters, with none of the ideas those movies instilled in us. How they made peoples imaginations soar. I envy them.
s193028
That lens flare though..
TimWhatley
Kennedy gave Abraham a clause on limited flare.
tangowolf
Seriously, do they think this is Babylon 5?
therealeeyore
I had the original poster and it was by Hildebrandt.

AwesomeName
Am I wrong or is the poster for "Empire Strikes Back" painted in a way that it's not obvious whether it's Han or Luke holding Leia?
Wombatfisher
Except he's wearing Han's clothes.
NinjiBean
I'd thought it was definitely Luke at first, but looking again it is ambiguous
ThePsychoanalyst
I think you're a cassual
Mycatstolemyusername
Ummm, my sources are saying it's actually Bryan Morton who did the poster… my sources are his cousin.
SteveBinCypressTexas
Original poster art for Return of the Jedi would be the poster when it was originally titled Revenge of the Jedi.
TimWhatley
Hey, thanks for all of the clicks and comments. I was lucky enough to see Star Wars on opening day May 25th 1977 as a 12 year old.
ISayWrongThingsAndDontJustifyMyself
Joking aside, Star Wars art is iconic, awesome, and I'm hype as fuck for Star Wars.
NucularCrisitunity
I couldn't have said it better!

vindik8or
Blind hype is what made the last 3 successful despite how terrible they were.
TimWhatley
When you examine the posters, you see that the lead is the biggest head and the most influential. Therefore...
liamario
Also, when you examine the 'The Force Awakens' poster, you'll see that it's not a painting. Its not even done by Drew Struzan
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
Also, you can see the common blue/orange colour scheme gradually getting stronger...
tangowolf
So basically, what you're saying is that weird-looking Death Star is taking point in this movie?
DeepwaterJew
Why no Revenge of the Jedi?
LuckyICantSeeFarWithThisLeg
Because most of these aren't the first poster but the final one.

I've never been this excited for a film. I know that's not a good way to go into something: hyped out of your mind, but I am GEARED. UP.
Ersy90
Im scared this will be Twilight Reloaded, after 3 Hours there is a 5second Scene with Ford.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
It's not going to be utterly fantastic and brilliant, but it will be fine.
MRSPRINKLZZZ
NO! Fuck that shit, it could be amazing, or it could be ass. How about we not judge it until it actually FUCKING comes out?
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
THANK YOU. Fucking hell people making fucking observations off movie trailers.
tatay88
and that's fine by me.

That is damn lie and you know it. If it's good you are going to ask for the next 2 to be good too. Just accept it couldn't be worse.
SirDukeFillion
Also the one offs, spin offs, future games, and possibly live action shows.
NotaClipaMagazine
Couldn't be worse? I mean, they didn't get Michael Bay to direct it. That could make it worse.
SlagStorm
YOU THOUGHT 2 DEATHSTARS EXPLODING WAS COOL? !?!? WHAT ABOUT 5 AT ONE ONCEEE YEAAA@AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
ViktoriaWithK
Although the screaming is too much I found this comment to be mildly amusing.
DatDarthCaedus
No no no you need 21 arranged into a larger frame square structure... the Death Dice!
tatay88
Just watch the prequels one day before... ANYTHING can be better than the prequels.
theREALtaylorgangs
It's gonna have light sabers and space battles so I think I can confidently say that I will like Star Wars 7
DatDarthCaedus
He said, before putting on the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Strikyre
Disney gives a shit. Disney hired people who give a shit. And Disney cares more about cinematography than shiny new CGI. We'll be fine.
vindik8or
You reckon Disney gave a shit about Thor 2?
Strikyre
Disney keeps mostly out of Marvel Studios movies, and Thor 2 was sort of better than 1 distributed by Paramount. So... Possibly. Yeah.
vindik8or
Sort of better? It was a turd circling the bowl in the port-a-loo of the Thor Mega Experience Turbo Concert feat. Kenneth Branagh.
Strikyre
And I thought it was better. Though that might've been from being more distracted from Natalie Portman's acting. *shrug*
pacmanrockshok
So what's up with that death star lookin' thing in the corner?
MostIndeedlySo
Death Star Jr.
pacmanrockshok
Or Death Star III
Wombatfisher
Starkiller base.
MostIndeedlySo
Siegfried von Death Star the 3rd, named after his father and his father's father.
pacmanrockshok
Siegfried von Death Star the 3rd of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm
tatay88
I think it might be Starkiller Base.
LRidge
the fact that there's even a thing called Starkiller in this movie makes me worried this will all be fan service.
MRSPRINKLZZZ
Really? In a series full names such as "star destroyer" and "death star"? Yet now "starkiller" is apparently fan service?
LRidge
Luke's original name was Starkiller, so yes.
pacmanrockshok
or Starkiller as in Galen Marek?
Redwarder
Say what you like about the Empire but they had butt tonne of money to build all this stuff....that and slaves.
HalfaPrayer
Empire Strikes Back - best poster, best film. It's just stunning.
TimWhatley
It is also called the "Gone with the Wind" SW poster. See the similarity?
Bananakin
The tickets sale starts tomorrow (19th), and the new trailer comes on the 20th. It's along way to wait still..
TimWhatley
Trailer tomorrow night during MNF.
Bananakin
i don't know if i even want to see it! So much information, i'd like a clean slate.
Ewido

bobbyismoore
Wait is this an actual thing I can watch?
DatDarthCaedus
Well until the people who made it manage to reach their goal of purging it from existence to hide their shame, sure :D
EvanED
From its reputation, it's an 'actual thing you can watch' in the same sense that 'gouging out you eyes with a spoon' is a thing you can do.
EvanED
Although obtaining a copy of the SW Holiday Special is a bit of a trick.
manbrolorian
It usually crops up on YouTube close to holiday season. Watch it when your not sober

AinsleysOilySacrifice
unpopular opinion: I liked Jar-Jar
bingtittletittlebong
He wasn't my favorite but he didn't ruin the movie for me like he did for everyone else apparently.
TrixiHobbitz
Same here. I don't understand the Jar Jar hate. He was just comic relief.
Xenshail
I never really understood why he was so hated. Yeah, he was kinda silly but I chose to just laugh at it, not get irrational hatred.
emberfish
Some people thought it was racist, although I don't buy it. I thought Anakin was much more annoying. "Spinning's a good trick! Wheee!" Ugh.
KnucleheadFlow
Bingo
DatDarthCaedus
Was a kid when it came out, so liked him... kinda neutral to him now. That movie had bigger problems than the comic relief. I never 1/2
DatDarthCaedus
understood why people loved Darth Maul so much, though... found him boring and underdeveloped, mostly. Kinda cool fighting but nothing more
StrangelySexee
I love how the little name list at the problem just gets denser and denser the newer it gets. Pretty soon it'll just be text.

I noticed that too. Another form of hey look at me. Credits!
