Anyone else find it odd there’s not a single nod to Rogue One? I know its obviously focusing on the Saga movies and 40 years since ANH, just seems weird there’s nothing signifying their latest release which will did home video the same month
There’s a Death Star in the there, so I guess that counts.
Vader is in the exact same spot as he was in the rogue poster. I also guess they wanted to focus on saga episodes only.
Particularly since Felicity Jones will be attending.
The Death Star and Vader represent Rogue One.
…b/c it’s focusing on the Saga movies, like you said.
Cool! I love it. All the trilogies together looks awesome
I love it!
That looks amazing. A shame I cannot attend Celebration. But I’ll be on vacation elsewhere. That said, this poster; I want it. I love the lack of color and use of shading. It’s very creative and in my view is nice. I often feel like the more recent SWs posters, TFA, were often times too busy. The colors popped and what was happened was very jumbled and hard to make out.
Here, by having it be shaded, you can appreciate the designs more. And more so, I love how they’d incorporated all of the trilogies. It really is nice to see that as this will mark the 40th anniversary of SWs ANH.
LucasFilm could have easily focused on OT stuff and pushed back the PT(much as they have been doing). But I’m glad. SWs is 40 years old. Let’s acknowledge all facets of the franchise, old and new. So yeah, I support this.
I just wish I could get one, because I’d definitely frame it on my wall.
Agreed, it is gorgeous.
” pushed back the PT(much as they have been doing”
*eye roll*
You can eye roll until they fall out. It doesn’t change my view on the matter. I don’t hate the PT, but I acknowledge they weren’t good movies. SWs celebration should be a celebration everything SWs. Everyone has preferences and I won’t dispute that. But it is a part of the franchise and shouldn’t be pushed to the way side.
Your view on the matter doesn’t conform to reality though.
I mean, they put Jimmy Smits and Mustafar in Rogue One.
hardly pushing away. Prequel references abound on Rebels. It’s all there. You just choose not to see it.
I’m well aware that Rogue One and Rebels have made references and I’m grateful. Especially, given ROTS is one of my favorite SWs movies and I am a fan of TCW.
Personally, I wish there was more PT level content, hence my original post. But I get why. The PT era is over and LucasFIlm should focus on the future.
So you can kindly get off your snarky high horse. That is all and goodbye.
Thanks for playing!
Vader and the Death Star representin’ Rogue One.
Binary Sunset behind crashed Star Destroyer…Time to resurrect the old Jakkooine theories!
Nice poster. Hoping to see George as one of those surprises.
Jakku can’t be Tatooine because of this canon map:

Think he was being sarcastic.
Yeah, there was a pretty epic debate in the Cantina that raged all the way up until the movie and these maps started coming out. I lost 1000 credits. I think I might still be mad about it!
Oh I know. I remember it very well.
I think you mean; a masterpiece.
Damn right
all the skywalkers from the top anakin-padme -luke leia-rey
I could do without the eyesores —- Anakin and Padme — but otherwise GORGEOUS poster with the appropriate focal point: LUKE SKYWALKER.
Would have preferred Palpatine over the irrelevant Phasma.
Assuming Phasma isn’t about to become relevant…
It’s amazing seeing all 3 trilogies combined!!
It’s confirmed! …ah nevermind…
Looks gorgeous! Wish we could swap out more minor characters like hux or phasma for lando or the emperor but overall, it is GORGEOUS! <3
It is great to see characters from all 7 movies. Maul and Sidious would fit there great.
Yeah. I was kinda hoping for Palpatine too. I mean, he did orchestrate the first 6 movies haha
Be Luke is in the center, most prominent position, here is my predictions.
A very Luke centered show. Not all, but the surprises at least. We will see a trailer wit him our first post OT words uttered by Luke.
They will show of fans the first post OT Luke toys.
And there is a good chance none of it comes from the ST.
Mystery abounds. Nope, they will announce the next digital cartoon with the stories of Luke and Ben Solo, starting before Solo was sent to Luke, leading intimate their adventures.
We will get a slight backstory.
Ha, and then on day three we will see Luke in the ST trailer.
TA DA!
I need this poster!
Good thing we don’t have Finn being a poser this time around.
Rey’s design reminds me of Bastila Shan from Kotor
