Breaking News from StarWars.com Episode III Release Poster March 08, 2005 http://www.theforce.net/episode3/newspics/e3poster.jpg Last year, moviegoers were given a glimpse of Anakin Skywalker's future, as the specter of Darth Vader loomed within the folds of his flowing Jedi cloak in the teaser poster. The theatrical release poster is now on its way to movie theaters. The new one-sheet is illustrated by Drew Struzan, continuing a tradition begun with the Special Edition release of the Star Wars trilogy in 1997. This new poster places Anakin within the larger framework of the Episode III storyline, with the main cast of characters -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Darth Sidious, and the dark helmet of Darth Vader -- featured prominently. As it did with the release of the teaser poster, StarWarsShop.com will be featuring new exclusives showcasing the poster art -- including the poster itself. The one-sheet will be available printed double-sided, with the reversed image of the artwork on the back of the poster. This is the same style of poster featured in movie theaters, where double-sided posters retain their vibrancy when shown in backlit displays. These are the same posters being shipped to movie theaters, giving collectors a chance to own the real thing. Episode III is almost here. Be sure to catch the world premiere of the Revenge of the Sith release trailer when it airs on FOX during "The O.C." this Thursday, March 10th and it appears online at starwars.com Hyperspace.
