    Oh, I didn't know that. Then I don't know if getting him out of the poster was a "last hour" decision or what. I haven't the faintest idea. But I think the character is very mysterious in the film (we don't see him until the second half of the film, even we don't know he is a Sith until the last minutes), and I think maybe Lucas wanted to keep him in a mist of mystery.

    May the Force be with you!

    Yes, Dooku and his allegiance was supposed to be a mystery. That was probably the reason for why he was taken out.

    Just found out my favorite poster is better known as the ROTJ soundtrack poster. It's Lucas's hands holding up a Saber.

    The more photo-realistic movie posters become, the less interesting they are. In the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back posters, I see Luke, Leia and Han whereas with the others, I see Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Ewan Mcgregor, etc. I think that says enough.

    I voted for the TPM poster as it feels the most immersive and wondrous to me.

    ANH's has a similar effect: a blank majesty, and the promise of adventure - though I am inevitably brought up a bit short by the brawn.

    AOTC's is gorgeous. But I tend to just sit and stare at the gorgeousness rather than marvel over the characters or the movie. So, I'll place it third. And I'll tie it there with TFA's, as both convey that this-can-only-begin-to-scratch-the-surface feeling to me, while still remaining visually interesting. (Incidentally, much as I'd had my heart set on a Struzan poster for the new movie, I'm finding I quite like this one: it really distinguishes TFA as the start of a new series, even to that series' poster style.)

    The TESB poster is a dark horse. I glance at it, think "That's nice" and walk away. And then start wondering. I might wish it had a brighter palette - it seems a bit muted for a movie that bleeds so of color, and I'm in love with an orange fan-made poster I've seen. But then, TESB is the darkest film of the OT...

    The ROTJ and ROTS posters, frankly, bother me - I think it's the blocking, though I can still get lost in the individual elements ROTJ's. And if there's one thing I do love about ROTS', it's the inversion of the lights and shadows on the faces of Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker.

    Judging by your posts in other threads u seem young, a little naive & full of hope. Let me give you a warning. I was once like you, then the crushing weight of the world caught up to me. So be hopeful but also realistic.

    TESB. But then again, TESB takes the crown for pretty much everything in the series for me. It's amazing.
