The MONDO Star Wars Poster Thread

Author
Time

MONDO regularly puts up limited edition posters related to Star Wars, and almost always the OT, and I’m always surprised they never get mentioned in here. They do Star Wars frequently enough that I think it deserves its own thread, for people that might want to collect them as they come out. They recently did a Tarkin that I thought was fantastic, but these two new ones are really tempting:


They’re on sale now for like one more day at mondotees.com , and I figured this forum’s members would be interested.

He wasn’t a pencil drawing in 1983 (among other things), so you broke it.

Good thread! I included Mondo stuff with my posters upload in the Covers section, but it appears I am behind the times. The ones by Olly Moss are still my favourite, particularly Star Wars and Empire. Can’t be arsed posting them right now… sorry  : )

I’m sure most people have seen them before, but anyway…

Star Wars - Olly Moss
Empire - Olly Moss
Jedi - Olly Moss
(Photobucket kinda sucks… any suggestions for what I should use instead?)

Imgur is popular for uploaders these days, but just be warned they compress things.

Also they have a really dumb community, but just stick to uploading (and not sharing) your images there and it’ll be fine.

These two go on sale today. (Unfortunately I think they stink to be frank, but perhaps others feel differently…)

Consider me slightly biased since they’re headquartered here in Austin. Fantastic work by a lot of artists, for a ton of films. The gallery is just a few blocks away so I go over sometimes on my lunch break, depending on what they’re showing.

Regarding their Star Wars pieces; Tyler Stout for me. A 1970s comic book style, of which I’m a huge fan anyway. That style used on Star Wars is pretty much a given that it’ll be my favorite.

This is another really nice Mondo piece. I’m a big fan of their use of the original 1976 teaser copy, font, and logo. That is a direct lift from the original 1976 teaser I’d owned since about 1977 (I gave it away last year).

Those remind me of the masks they’d put on the C-3PO’s cereal box:

Oops, while I was languishing in an alternate dimension (long story!) I guess I missed the chance to order this one:

I’ve never been thrilled by Rilo Kiley’s character design, but I guess this is as impressive as a depiction of it could get.

And while I’m posting pics of posters it’s too late to get, here’s the Grand Moff Tarkin they did that I thought was really good. But I can’t imagine having the type of wall-space surplus that would allow putting the Tarkster up…

Those are really awesome but it’s a damn shame they just copy-pasted Vader…

I think the idea is that they’re sort of variants of the same poster, which Mondo typically does, so the overlap is intentional.

Anyway, while I’m here, here’s the Luke profile-portrait by Mike Mitchell (“Red Five”)that started the present series. I like this one.

Mondo named this C-3PO one of its year’s best. I agree, and think it’s the best of Mitchell’s entire SW series so far:

Too many bishoujo figures already in the way…
