Glad that's not an official poster. Han looks weird.

It doesn't matter. He still does personal work.
And he has made posters recently and non look that bad.

Looks a lot better this way actually; doesn't look like a cheap DVD cover anymore.

why do people think that staff the girl has is a lightsaber?

Isn't that his personal work?

That'd be one way to look back on this one favorably.

It's a Barbie poster he did for some magazine in 2009 for the 50th anniversary of Barbie (he officially retired in 2008).

Isn't the thing that Rey is holding what the tusken raiders use?

How?
Guy has been officially retired for years, give him a break.

A not great poster made for convention attendees spells trouble for the movie. Absolutely.

I don't want to sound like one of those artsy jackasses you meet at an art show or museum but as a Barbie poster that's well done.

I just realized that Anakin Skywalker appears three times in the Episode III poster

I won't get this, but I wish The Force Awakens final poster would be similar to the iconic one from A New Hope of Luke holding the lightsaber toward the sky.
Four actually.
-Floating head
-Fighting Obi-Wan
-Darth Vader
-Flying the Jedi Starfighter.

Wouldn't worry about the poster...I was at D23 but didn't get into the panel. From what I saw it's flimsy and only slightly bigger than legal paper just a cool little souvenir not at all marketing material.
As for Finn...
As for Finn...
The rumor about Han and Leia having a falling out and her getting together with Lando makes a lot more sense with him holding a lightsaber. An ex-smuggler getting antsy with domestic life makes for a much more believable story than them living happily ever after for 30 years.

I don't like how they are all looking forward.

Where the hell did you hear that rumor? Because it's not really a rumor at all. It's just bad speculation.
This is the first I've heard of such a thing, period.
it's a fuckin great piece of work is what it is. striking image.

Yeah, that's not a rumor, that's just that dude's personal speculation. The whole post is him describing an idea he had, and then asking if people think it's a good idea.

I don't think it's pure speculation though...was this photoshopped? Although, potentially Finn could just as easily be Solo's son if the comic is canon.

Glad that's not the official poster, looks too fan made.

It's absolutely pure speculation. The guy never once alludes to having heard anything from anyone else. It's an idea he came up with on his own, and posted it to reddit after thinking about it for 3 seconds.
This isn't a rumor. It's a guy on reddit spitballing ideas.
The character created by Jason Aaron who exists solely in a comic book for the sake of the comic book having something interesting to do, has no relation to anything JJ Abrams & Lawrence Kasdan have done with The Force Awakens.
No, because that would make Finn like, 40 years old.

He's black so he must be related to the only other black character.

Look I'm not defending the dude's post it was just the first source I came across. It's an interesting theory, not necessarily that Finn is Lando and Leia's love child but that Han and Leia split some time in the 30 years between ROTJ and Episode VII. He could just as easily be Luke's son or Han's especially if the comic is canon. https://www.google.com/search?q=lei...57.4870j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8
All I think of when I see Han there is:
Lmao this is exactly what I was thinking! Hans looks so foreign on that poster.
Edit:
There we go, now the poster is amazing.
Han and Leia being estranged is true but there haven't been any credible rumors about Finn being related to anyone at all. Nothing in the plot synopsis that MakingStarWars has provided even points to be it being an element of the story.
Now unless they turn around in Ep VIII and make him Lando or Zare Leonis's kid or something, it doesn't seem like it will be relevant.

No, you're defending his post, and also misrepresenting it as a source. He's not a source. You confused random speculation on reddit for a rumor. The two are not the same thing.
The idea that Han & Leia have split in the interim is an interesting idea, sure. The idea that Finn is Lando and Leia's love-child isn't a rumor, it's speculation. Speculation that doesn't seem to take into account the question "Why would Leia and Lando's love-child be a stormtrooper?"

That's actually pretty awesome and great to hear. It's about time someone confronted and got on him about that. Makes me more excited for Episode VII.
lol "grumpy style".
It rhymes, like poetry.
Wow! Now this is great.

That's pretty much what it comes down to.
:snort:
There is no way anyone can say they are decent compared to:
I would be shocked if Lucasfilm goes for the cheap cookie cutter style of Marvel posters.
The only thing you've really done here is remind me of how much better the original theatrical posters for the trilogy were. Struzan's SE and prequel posters don't do much for me, to be honest.
