Stumbled onto this alternate 1980 Coca-Cola poster I'd never seen before...
Boris Vallejo's paint work is fantastic and much more fantasy styled than than most posters but the Duel-Lightsaber-wielding Vader looks hilarious to me. Almost like he could be shouting "Yeaaarrggh f**k the Rebels!"
I think it's the small size of the sabers that makes the image look silly. If they were closer in size to the film sabers then it would look much better.
Oh, and Vader's oversized arms/hands probably don't help any, either.
It's called artistic license. If we're going to nitpick posters, Luke never had the muscles depicted on this one anymore than Leia showed that much leg, or had such impressive space knockers in the movie. ;)
I want to see action figures based on this.
I have a Luke action figure that looks like that! Let me see if I can find a pic...
JEDIT: It's the one on the right
He's from back in the nineties, got him when I was a kid. The boots aren't quite right but he's got the muscles.
