One of the things I don't like about his work is that he clearly paints from photos and stills of the movie. The SE posters had weird inconsistencies in them.

Star Wars had Leia from Empire. With Empire he used a still of the Emperor from Jedi and had Darth Vader's Tie Fighter in the centre. For Jedi he reused the steps from the lightsaber duel in Empire... again. Why would he do this?

Technically he's good, but to me he's a bit conservative. The layouts are ok, especially compared to the TFA one just released. That Han Solo likeness is dodgy and the size, pose and positioning is terrible. I had hoped a newer artist would have been given a go - using traditional paint techniques etc. Struzan just ties the new film in with the SE's and Prequels.
