No one else did actual painted posters but they all got photoshoped teasers:

I could just as easily used this as my example for when I knew the prequels were terrible.  I thought that was an idiotic poster as soon as it was released.

A textbook example of Lucas and his complete lack of subtlety. All mystery of story has been removed and the whole piece suffers because of it. Teasers should be simple, but even that one was overdone.

I could never reconcile where the kid was coming from.  Unless his name is little Annie Stubblebine, he has no reason to be mid-stride a foot away from that wall. However, Lucas needed a wall for the shadow of Vader (leave your imaginations at the door) so just Photoshop him next to a wall.

Light sources for the shadows from the doorway, kid's head, kid's feet, and Vader all different?  Must be those twin suns.

Terrible.
