I apologize for the crappy pic (off of my TV) but it looks like this...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-2/955896/P1010143.JPG This one is slightly better

Just wanted to say, I'm a longtime lurker at mf.com but newly registered. Great site!

Wow, nice work! Mirrors:

Nice! That looks very, very cool.

Thanks.

Looks great guys. Thanks for the heads up.

NICE

That's Brisk, baby.

Thanks. Too bad about the quality though. I guess I'll have to wait for the high-res version which will probably be up at starwars.com soon enough. Hopefully.

Oooh, very nice.
I wasn't sure the first time I looked at it, but then I brought it up again, then again, then again, and despite the quality of the capture I love it.

thanks for the caps, guys.

It's ok. I'm a little disappointed, but hopefully it'll grow on me.

Still better than most movie posters though...

I think its a "grower". I was underwhelmed when I first looked at it.

think it may be the quality of the image that's throwing a few.

no new poster shine.

up close it's probably sweet.

It's not as good as some of the fan-made ones I've seen, but it's still better than the teaser poster.

cleaned up his cap a bit

I liked the teaser poster. Just 'cos it was hilarious what people decided they could make out in Anakins cape.

Ugh, I hated that part of it the most. It's supposed to be a poster, not a magic eye.

hmmm not keen but will reserve judgment until ive seen a high res version

Pretty good.

Wow - this is awesome - what a week! First the poster, next the trailer! May can't come quick enough. Thanks for the mirror posts of the poster!! It looks like it will be awesome but I will hold off until I see a clear, high res version. It appears that maybe Palpatine looks somewhat strange - or is it just me. I can't wait to see the high res version once it's posted on the OS.

I would too, but it's not the resolution that bothers me, it's the placement of everything. Vader's mask is fine, but everything else just doesn't feel right. Especially Palpatine, he should have had a bigger spot.

I think my main issue with it appears to be the image of Vader lifted from ESB when at the end there's the telepathy between him and Luke.

If LFL changed or altered Drew Struzan's original Ep3 poster artwork as is being suggesting(by T-bone?), my guess is that the pic of Vader is what was changed. It seems awkward.

I agree with Sotha - something is off in the placement of everything...

The vader helmet is perfect. And the duel center on is great - abliet too large which is what is throwing off the placement of everything else.

I think we have access to most of the photos used to make this, I'd like to see a fan version with the exact same elements but with better placing.

Heck, if I knew the photoshop trick to make the photos look painted I could make a better one.

I really like it, I think it's quite striking.

Death-Vader from the JC captured a clearer version.

That's a little better. Wait, is that Yoda doing his "flying frog pose" off to the left there? Wow, now the placement feels REALLY wrong. Thank the Force for Photoshop.

It's just ackward. Most fan-made posters look better.

I think the poster looks great. It just doesn't look like Struzan art to me. It looks like they took all the promo images and made a collage.

fixed

I'm worried about the weird palpatine imp in the corner, but i'm sure the finished version will look great...

That's essentially how posters are made, except it's painted. It looks great to me. I don't know what more anyone could expect.

No single Star Wars poster would appease all fans.

There are probably a few different versions of the thing, and the most striking imagery was chosen as the final.


I can think of a ton of cool ideas, as could anyone here for a poster, but it doesn't mean we're all going to like it.

I love it! But then again, I watch Dolph Lundgren movies.

I just saw it on Et and it looks pretty sweet to me. I only saw it for a couple of seconds though. I hear it is going up on the OS to buy pretty soon, and of course I'll be buying that ASAP.

It's on starwars.com. Here we go.

Nice, although Mace looks awkward to me now. His upper torso is just sorta hovering there. Still rocks tho.

I love it!
The ET screengrab made it look like it was composed of actual photos rather than artwork.

Palps got the shaft.

It's about what I expected. Nothing overwhelming or anything. At least it's better than the friggin' teaster poster.

PT

Where's your avatar from? Preview for season 3? I haven't seen that clip.

It looks fine to me, in line with the other Star Wars posters. Noticed how many sabers are on it and more importantly, how many characters? Episode III is a pivotal moment for all the characters -- and the poster reflects this.

Other than that it's really a matter of taste guys.

Ak.

Looks good.

Yeah, it's from the CN ads. They have them for dl in a thread at TFN somewhere.

Looks good to me. They're giving Palpatine/Sidious away but General Gravox is conspicuously absent.

I guess I'll go check them out...

Noticeably absent to me

CoGro, go check the Clone Wars section of MF.com forums

With complete respect to Drew Struzans' work...

I personally think this poster is sub-par.

It looks rushed to me. Obi-Wan looks horrible and the image of Vader whoring the background.... ugh! Compared to Struzan's work on the previous posters, this is the most disheartening.

In the past, I have looked forward to Struzan's poster as much as the full trailer release for each respective film.

This is a great disappointment for me.

I could give a shit about these posters. I don't buy them and they have no bearing on the movie. That said, it looks pretty terrible. Notable absences, not very good alignment, and Palpatine looks horrible.

Whatever, though.

Here's a poster I put together with pics from google, etc.
It's not finished yet, still needs some clean up work.

Hehe, whoops. Screwed that up eh.

Nice High Res, I like the poster, but like said above Palpatine/Sidious doesnt look like that! Pretty good still though

The circle is now complete:

That means nothing. They aren't in the ANH and ESB posters either.

Threepio's in TPM poster and he's in the movie for 10 minutes.

EDIT: Struzan should re-do the OT posters. The ROTJ one sheet is a mess.
