That poster looks fan-made. Really, that's what was my first thinking.

The attentions goes to the lightsabers and not the faces of their owner because their color is in contrast, something I don't remember ever seeing in the OT posters.

I like that the three figures on the top all share a weapon in their hands, thus making for an interesting parallel. Their bodies as their weapons reach out for the top, giving a sense of depth and vertigo.

BUT. Han's presence in the bottom of the poster spoils the structure by standing completely out of it. It's like he's saying:"Hey guys, I don't know why I'm even here, but I'm home" :\

I can't seem to find any theme in this poster other than:"These are the two protagonist, that's the bag guy, below it's your old friend, X-Wings/Tatooine vs Tie-Fighters/Bespin". It doesn't add any real theme or visual info about the movie's content. Not even one.
