had to admit I did a double-take - certainly a good resemblance to Ewan McGregor there (especially on the smaller-size pic) - damn fine job though…

Was it the opening credits that the helmet appears? (with some drums and some indistinguishable French radio in the background?)

Yes, and the ending credits as well, with the theme song (including with lyrics towards the end)

Really good film - will have to try and seek it out to watch again soon.

It’s on Netflix now. Hadn’t watched it since a DVD rental a decade ago. Amazing how stunning it looks in HD. Wonderful restoration as well as a fantastic film.

Alas, I’m in the UK and the netflix here isn’t as deep as the US catalogue of films. Though it’ll likely be available for next to nothing on ebay or similar sites - and not too long before it’s on terrestrial UK tv once again 😃

an article on ‘How Translators Made Rogue One: Una Historia de Star Wars’ (and how difficult it can be for them):-

Fair play to Diego Luna for translating his character too.

(the 1st comment at the bottom of the linked article is about Backstroke Of The West 😃)

Just finished watching The Longest Day. I wonder if the Russian poster was inspired by the shot behind the rolling end credits:

Funny how I ended up having this convo and watching this movie in the same day.

Good call - for some reason I thought of Platoon and then Full Metal Jacket when I first saw the Russian poster - though The Longest Day is likely it.

The Kodi / Plex / Media Center Posters? thread has superseded this one, though still a few pieces below…

That is a top idea 😃

It may be worth asking him if he’d do one for you with ‘Despecialized Edition’ text on there?

It should be quite easy to find almost any large Star Wars cover / poster / art you like and attach some ‘DeSpecialized Edition’ text onto them as a few pictures below show… (MS Paint and a few Star Wars themed fonts usually does the trick for me 😃)

a few very quickly knocked-up examples - just for ideas etc…

rastanz on deviantart fixed the decent poster with the TIE’s correctly now firing green (and original Jyn head!)

That’s much better than the one being used. I’m still not into the pyramid of people though.

It seems a bit bizarre to me mate - that Lucasfilm/Disney haven’t paid the extra $$$s for a decent artist to come up with some quality (posters, art or dvd/bluray covers). The Russian helmet poster and some decent IMAX stuff aside - it’s been a pretty poor effort on their part - for what a film worthy of a bit more respect than that (let alone the decent amount of money it’s made them so far - and will make them more with the home releases and sales to tv companies etc).

Respect to the fan-made art - much of which has easily surpassed the official art.

Rant over 😃

on a separate note…

^ love that poster - indeed the best official one out there. The reflection of the helmet in the water, the menace and power of the Empire (with nice foreboding dark clouds) - a well thought out picture 😃

I don’t think this guy thought that through. I always got the impression Batman doesn’t care about politics, only what he feels is right. Keep in mind there are numerous instances where Bruce will take in one of those guys on the street and give them a job at Wayne Enterprises to help get them away from living through hell, if he feels they’re a person with good intentions, but stuck in terrible circumstances.

I think it was just a joke told by a comedian for laughs mate - a video of Reg D Hunter’s take on Batman is here (on a satirical BBC news program called Have I Got News For You, some years ago now):-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l1PMVvfjDM - the joke ends about 45 seconds in.

From Donnie Yen’s instagram… what seems to be a photo from a scene that didn’t make the final version of the film…

Does anyone have this as a highres textless version? The LD Cover was textless and there is an italian version of this poster without text. I’m also looking for a highres version of the “Ewoks - The Battle of Endor” Logo (the roughed up version).

I’m not sure about hi-res poster art - but hopefully this dvd cover by Rikter - on the superb thestarwarstrilogy.com website - is ok for a textless version of the poster you are after?

The full size cover here at the link below is 3240x2188, is 300dpi, and is around 4.7mb:-
