This is kids commercial merchandise. Some people worry too much.

 

[zeemumu]

...and still the wonky ass looking Lightsabre lol.

I thought we all agreed that it's an unstable prototype lightsaber which explained the size, the two exhaust ports on the sides, and the unstable looking beam?

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I'm definitely seeing 2 different sets of troopers here, unless its meant to be showing one crazy ass general. Factions is what I'm thinking though!

 

[papercan55]

duck beaks for everyone then i guess

 

[flkraven]

The sith dude looks cool but the posters look like a bad photoshop or the cover art for a porn remake of episode 7.

 

[Jb]

That's a cool design for the mask. I hope his personality is a little more interesting than Darth Maul's.

 

[LastNac]

It's so Revan it hurts.

 

[JimJamJones]

Ugh now I can't unsee them.

NEOGAFFFFF!

 

[OSHAN]

I don't recall Darth Maul having a personality.

 

[Raptor]

I hope JJ doesnt make the same mistake as Lucas as in if that Sith is pure badassery ended up being killed at the end of this movie and not giving an arc of at least 2 movies.

Darth Maul was severely underused.

 

[Aurongel]

Now that's all I see..

 

[Bishop89]

lol, cant unsee.

Somebody photoshop the bill.

 

[Monocle]

That art design is completely right. The stormtrooper in the cape? YES.

I love everything, especially the new Sith's mask. Nice mix of solid elements and intricate detailing in the grillwork. Very promising.

 

[The Elite]

Right? Just a little..off?

It looks like a bad photoshop.

That's not going to happen.

 

[kingocfs]

Love that Sith mask.

 

[brochiller]

What is the functional purpose of the guards at the end of the light saber? He were fighting someone else with a light saber and theirs slid down toward the handle wouldn't it just cut the guards right of the way it's designed?

 

[Ushojax]

This is some sort of joke, right? Looks like an 8 year old made it.

Sounds like Star Wars alright. I mean they gave us these as DVD covers:

...so this is nothing unusual.

The beam goes right to the core, it doesn't stop at the edge of the hilt.

Still a mystery... tons of fan theories though... including one from Colbert

Works for me I guess. I played Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow around the same time I played Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

 

[Sectorseven]

Is Kylo Ren the dude's real name like Anakin or is it his Sith name?

 

[vio]

They look..bad, especially third one.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

He detaches the guards and uses them as throwing daggers.

 

[Currygan]

I just wanna know who's playing the inquisitor. Adam Driver would be rad

 

[Cheebo]

I just wanna know who's playing the inquisitor. Adam Driver would be rad

99.99999% likely Kylo Ren is Adam Driver.

 

[Vampirolol]

They all look empty.

 

[Rootbeer]

Kylo might be a title of some kind.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Driver is playing

Spoiler

Kylo Ren it seems.

I like it. That makes sense so I think I'll go with it for now.

 

[cackhyena]

I miss Drew Struzan...

 

[Cheebo]

I miss Drew Struzan...

These aren't movie posters, so not sure why you miss him. He is likely to still do the final theatrical poster I would say.

 

[Sephzilla]

sith is looking ace.
Kind looks like Revan

Came to post this, the Revan influence is hard to deny

 

[cackhyena]

These aren't movie posters, so not sure why you miss him. He is likely to still do the final theatrical poster I would say.

He's retired, so it's unlikely.

 

[Frog-fu]

Aesthetically nostalgic. I like it.

 

[JimJamJones]

He's retired, so it's unlikely.

Hasn't it been reported for months now that he was doing the poster(s) for TFA?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Revan's costume was always badass. Nice to see it's inspired Ren's.

 

[cackhyena]

Hasn't it been reported for months now that he was doing the poster(s) for TFA?

Really? I don't follow Star Wars stuff, so that's pretty cool, if true.

 

[OSHAN]

So I'm a bit out of the loop. Are we getting a new trailer today as well?

reportedly!

It makes sense to a lot of people... i'm hoping it is some kind of lightsaber-proof guard though, otherwise why not leave the bladed part bare like this?

But I've been reading the speculations for months, i'm ready to just sit back and see what they will show

 

[sphagnum]

People, these are just promo images, not the movie's posters that you're going to see plastered across movie theaters. They're for merchandising.

I can't believe people don't realize this.

 

[Cheebo]

He's retired, so it's unlikely.

He has said he'd consider coming out of retirement for Star Wars. And he came out of retirement for How To Train Your Dragon 2.

 

[JimJamJones]

People, these are just promo images, not the movie's posters that you're going to see plastered across movie theaters. They're for merchandising.

I can't believe people don't realize this.

It's the promo art that you find on child merchandise (folders, lunch boxes, etc.)

 

[Snkfanatic]

Love the posters...please be good! Please!

 

[deleted]

So now we have Clonetrooper, Stormtrooper, Flametrooper and a Chrometrooper - I like it.

 

[Lucius86]

Yeah, I would love this in high-res to add to my wallpaper slideshow.

 

[brochiller]

Yeah, I would love this in high-res to add to my wallpaper slideshow.

It's the best shot released so far. Menacing.

 

[OSHAN]

It's the best shot released so far. Menacing.

I don't know. His face kinda looks like a docking bay.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

It's the best shot released so far. Menacing.

Looks like a platypus.

 

[inm8num2]

Excellent artwork - Ren is going to be an awesome villain.

 

[Skidd]

Bad imitations of Drew Struzan's art. Ugh.

They're handing these out at the celebration, right? A fine opportunity for an easy money grab. Can't blame them, really.

Hopefully we get to see an official movie poster soon.
