This is a teaser poster.
Also a "work of art" isn't dictated by how much content is in it.
Exactly.
Kylo.
It's also incredibly reductive to label it as "not art". Just because you don't respond to something creative - even if it's just a bit of marketing - doesn't mean it "isn't art". I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but that's such a below the belt criticism.
Compared to 9 out of 10 pieces of promotional artwork, this is a pretty impressive poster. Simple, but visually striking with clear themes.

Good poster. Simple but emotionally strong.

Are you saying Star Wars Merchandise from that era is in a dumpster next to Atari E.T. cartridges? It doesn't matter what's on that poster, it's become a collectors item regardless of quality.
I missed it too somehow...
We're not idiots. We just didn't put enough effort into paying attention to detail; probably because Kylo has enough puffiness to his hair to pass as a female and because we were idiots to not notice lol.
People saying it's Rey, lol.
Also, it reminds me of:
Captain Command confirmed for MvsC4
Hey, I would buy a Star Wars vs Capcom fighting game!

Is there a higher res version of the poster anywhere?
Full High Res poster in the linked post.

I cut the bottom off and the curved sides for this one below. Nothing fancy so it might not fit phones perfectly.

Cool thanks. Going to make a customer wallpaper for my phone.

Thinking about it more, I think the "cheap" feel comes from the execution not being the best. Reading through the thread, thinking the execution could have been better isn't exactly an opinion unique. I have no problem with the other teaser posters since they were better executed, so even though they're simple, they don't feel cheap. It's the difference between a film like "The Raid 2" versus one of those direct-to-DVD action films with bad CGI explosions because they spent all their budget getting a washed-up 90s action star to put on the front poster (You can probably think of a few examples). They both are technically "cheap" (made for a low budget), but The Raid 2 is so well executed that it doesn't look cheap. There's no big problems with the Empire teaser's execution, so it doesn't look cheap, even though it's simple.
I should have specified, but I have no problem with the white background itself. It's the combination with the curved edges that makes the entire thing feel "off" to me. It kind of feels like they're trying to sell me an Apple product.
See. Stuff like that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the poster.

I get what they are trying to do with the poster but honestly it doesn't work unless it's handpainted.

I honestly can't tell if that is Adam Driver to the right. Looks like a 15 year old to me.
I agree that they look strange, but I think having them the same size, while more aesthetically pleasing, would have been trite.
When does Rey find the time to shave her pits so smooth?

exactly...Luke could rip apart Kylo's body with his force power if he really wanted to.

So Rey is going to kill Luke and Kylo to become something new, neither sith or jedi.
"Curved edges? White background? Nothing but an Apple ripoff!"
This is you right now. Just... stop, LOL.
It not only evokes the original poster for A New Hope, it also has the rounded edges, white background, and red tint of promotional art done by Ralph McQuarrie from 1975:
Bonus fact: That's not Luke. That's a woman. This is from the brief period when Lucas was toying with making the primary protagonist female.

Oh come on, if you're going to use a strawman, try better at least. Nowhere in my post did I say it was an Apple ripoff; I just said that it felt like an Apple ad. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the poster.
And here I was saying how hot Rey looks with her hair like that and those eyes...
Well then...Kylo looks hot, no homo

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Chewie/Han must have been a bit of a Speaker to Animals / Chmeee rip off very early on.

It doesn't look like an Apple ad at all unless you associate anything with curves with an Apple ad.
The curves in this doesn't even look like it lives up to Jony Ive standards.

One of them is far wiser and more experienced, they are not equal opposites as aligning them parallel would imply.
