Noise Layer sounds like a band Lord Haseo would listen to.

Noise Layer sounds like a nice ambient band to me. It’s not brutal enough to be metal. Maybe if it was Corpse Layer. Think of the double, triple, even quadruple meanings there!

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

A few more Celebration posters have popped up recently. This is the only one I really like.

I agree. I remember I was at a bookstore in January, and he was being plastered all over a bunch of magazine and book covers!

I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.

^ Same here, although Han looks oddly dopey and they shouldn’t put Luke on any posters for this movie.

Disagree. His shadow looms over the entire film (as does Vader’s but to a lesser extent). So you’ll see both have been rendered quite aptly looming over everything, but it’s only a vague impression.

Amazing poster by the way.

Why would he be on the poster? It’s not like he was in the movie or had anything to do with it OH WAIT HE WAS AND HE DID.

ESB Poster

I have this poster on my wall, and it’s one of my favorites. But you know who’s conspicuously absent? Yoda. The makers of this film knew even then that he was one of the best things about this movie, so they wanted to preserve his reveal as much as possible, to the extent of holding back on putting his image on promotional materials. Granted, they later put his face on ROTJ’s VHS cover, but this was years after the sequel came out. My point is that much of the interest for this movie is the question of what Luke looks like after all these years, and so to see him on the poster lessens the impact of seeing him at the end of the film.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Sorry, I didn’t realize you forgot how Luke looked between your seeing the movie and that poster being created for Celebration.

^^ Thank you for making my point for me with the official TFA poster. Incidentally I happen to like the Yoda-less ESB poster more than the one with Yoda, but that’s mostly because I like the coloration of that one more.

But I should clarify my original statement. I simply think that a poster is stronger when it features the actual leads in the film or visually illustrates broad themes, rather than specifically including characters given as an emotional reward to the audience at the end of the film. The same thing applies, perhaps to a lesser extent, to the ROTS poster. I feel that it would be stronger without the giant mask in the background. It doesn’t matter if you know Vader, or Luke, will make an appearance or not.
