    The man behind the iconic Star Wars posters, Drew Struzan. You think he'll come out of hiding to work on the new movies?

    I really hope so.

    I hope he will. but he's retired from the game. Im sure Disney might try and buy him for the project but it would most likely be for all 3 movies so that they would match a set like the others do. that's a really tough choice for a man to make. I watched the documentary on Netflix about 2 years ago. he looks happy the way things are. he doesn't need Disney's money.

    I would say no, but I honestly didn't think Harrison Ford would come back.

    He's spawned so many imitators, they could find ten young and hungry artists that can mimic his style. I feel like this is another torch that can be passed.

    Also, didn't they heavily alter his submission for ROTS? I think I remember rumors of him being kind of done with that sort of meddling.

    I'm actually not a huge fan of his. I like the original posters for the OT, the new ones look too uniform for me. There isn't a lot of individuality to any of them. Each of the OT posters had a specific style and story that they were trying to tell.

    I hope so. I love these old-styled posters and not these photoshop shits we see now. The PT ones are the best, in my opinion.

    These two old-school posters are Drew. I guess he didn't do one for Empire back in the day? They don;t have the uniformity of the new posters, though. I'm a big fan of both styles.
    You're probably right, if they can't get Drew, then they will get some imitators. They've done that before, I believe the Indiana Jones box set or maybe the Crystal Skull DVD, can't remember.

    That last promo poster from Russia looks eerily like his work! If I didn't know any better (which I don't) I'd almost say it was his. :)

    I have those framed at home too! They each are distinctly different.

    Those are nice! The IV and VI are the illustrations that were on my first VHS copies. V was a different one, probably the one @It's a Trap is referring to.

    None of those are Drew, but I would be down to have the posters be in that style.

    Is there an artist out there that can replicate that look?

    I guess that's settled. I'm super pumped to have Drew back!...although Han looks a little funky. I'm sure he's working on the final poster as we speak.

    ^I think so too. This seems like a quickie for Drew, while working hard on the real deal.
