Some dude on skype says at least 2008/2009 or so, but with different text maybe.

That's actually Gremlin Stripe looming over Mogwai Stripe, but it probably should have been Gizmo, you're right. And you've also confused Mogwai/Mowgli/Gizmo.

Phew!

Well don't I feel stupid. Well I haven't seen the movie in forever okay. It's still a cool poster.

Speaking of which, what are the best sites to order posters from? I have a couple walls that need a-fillin'.

This is perfect because it all came from this very thread. Would be less funny if you discovered it somewhere else in the forums.

Seems to be a bit of a throwback to the tagline for the original Evil Dead, "The Ultimate Experience In Grueling Terror."

You don't get to have 300 zombie films in the last decade without making a few remakes.

The Social Network tagline parody fun time:

You don't kill all your friends without losing a few limbs in the process

That poster would be a lot better if the tagline was sized/placed better. The logo IS pretty awesome.

So do I. However, it's very close to the original title. That's probably why it's good.

I believe the creator of those got a c/d letter from Lucasfilm. That was a while back though.

Olly Moss had gotten a C+D for a series of posters he did, but those were okayed by Lucasfilme for Mondo. I think anyway.

People should want to buy official promotional material. Like Anakin and his crooked laser dong.

All the DVD covers were shite, who the hell made them?

I really like these for a couple reasons. The C-3PO outline has an old-school sci-fi feel to it. His eyes remind me of Metropolis or something.

Empire is so 70s it kills I love it.

Jedi is great because I never considered the green being iconic to that film and then when I look at it I really do remember all the good things about Endor.

Lizard Combatant: Sep 29, 2010; I have some notes.

They're probably as perfect as a set of Star Wars posters can get. Just the right balance between aesthetics and film references. I really like the character outlines too and details like the twin suns for C-3PO's eyes are really neat. Star Wars isn't high art and these posters are have just the right amount of class (plus it doesn't say 'a new hope', which makes the angry nerd in me happy).

They work because, even if you haven't seen Star Wars before, you have an evocative sci-fi landscape and a classic robot silhouette. It's not an in-joke. (And the 'evocative' part can't be stressed enough.)
