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

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?

Except he's wearing Han's clothes.

I'd thought it was definitely Luke at first, but looking again it is ambiguous

Blind hype is what made the last 3 successful despite how terrible they were.

When you examine the posters, you see that the lead is the biggest head and the most influential. Therefore...

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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

Also, you can see the common blue/orange colour scheme gradually getting stronger...

So basically, what you're saying is that weird-looking Death Star is taking point in this movie?

Why no Revenge of the Jedi?

Disney keeps mostly out of Marvel Studios movies, and Thor 2 was sort of better than 1 distributed by Paramount. So... Possibly. Yeah.
