(More customer reviews)I bought this poster at Walmart over a year ago and waited until my wife found a frame for it to hang it up. Once it was hanging in my living room a few things about it started to seem a little off. I looked at it and analyzed it for a bit and determined what that was. There are a couple of things actually that I noticed- First and foremost this poster is a tribute to Anakin/Darth Vader. He appears 3 times on the poster and is larger than the other characters around him where he appears. Secondly the poster uses a visual technique that I can on describe as propaganda to maximize the importance of the prequel trilogy. Prequel characters are usually in front of and slightly larger than original trilogy characters, only characters that appear in both trilogies are unaffected by this favoritism with a couple of exceptions- fan-favorite Boba Fett and the actually immense Jabba the Hutt (who, while larger than most, is most definitely background). The main cast of the original trilogy (and most of their supporting cast)are located in the lower right portion of the poster and smaller than the prequel characters above and behind them. The rest of the original characters, if they appear at all, are hidden amongst a sea of prequel characters (and George Lucas). I don't dislike the poster, but I vastly prefer the original trilogy to the prequels and this poster is just the opposite. It makes the original trilogy seem lesser by comparison.
