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.

looks pretty kool ... this new instalment of Star Wars also intorduces one of my most favourite characters to the movie ... Chewbaca!!! ... it telss us who he excatly is , who his people are and where he came from ... so looking forward to it
that poster looks pretty sweet, but it seems a bit crowed. drop some of the characters, and put a few more colors into it, and id like it more.
when you say droid fighters, do you mean the TIEs?? cause I don't see any droids.. But yeah, looks awesome. Can't wait till the movie!! Remeber to watch The O.C. tomorrow.. the thearitical preview is gonna be giving.
Spell correctly please. And for those who are actually interested in the history of Chewbacca, this is his complete life (summarized) from birth to death.
i wish they would have put general grievous on there.. i guess hes not a major part of the film.. but either was darth maul but he was very popular and huge in the marketing.. if i made the last movie in a series, i would cash out and make as much dough as possible..
Maul probably got his hype for his visual. He's a pretty outstanding character if you ask me and even if his part was small in the entire Star Wars series, he's probably one of the more vibrantly unique characters I have ever seen in the Star Wars movies. A lot of the Sith aren't too vibrant and different.. In fact, due to the dark side of the force, majority look like horrid old men... Just look at Palpatine, Sidious (sp) and all of them... Even though they are old, that's besides my point. But yeah, Maul was probably marketed a lot more because he was a good marketing item. Wouldn't that suck if Lucas ended up getting so money hungry he began to feed off the KOTOR story line? I hope I don't jinx it.
What, exactly, was Darth Maul's role in the Star Wars Universe? Someone, please explain this to a non-Star Wars fanatic.
Darth Maul was a weapon forged by the hateful energies of the dark side to ensure the victory of the Sith over the Jedi order. A creature of pure evil, Maul had no personality beyond his ultimate devotion to his master, Darth Sidious. His goal was singular -- to exact vengeance upon the Jedi for the decimation of the Sith ranks. The Republic first came to know of Maul only as a mysterious attacker. While Qui-Gon Jinn was escorting the fugitive Queen Amidala from Tatooine to Coruscant, Darth Maul swept down from above, lunging at Qui-Gon from his rocketing Sith speeder. Maul's attack was relentless; he hammered down lightsaber strikes against the accomplished Jedi Master, forcing him back time and again. It was only the timely interception of Qui-Gon by the Queen's Royal Starship that spared him. Qui-Gon was utterly surprised and unprepared for such an attack. The Sith, everyone knew, were extinct, disappeared from the galaxy for a millennium. Yet the evidence was there -- a dark attacker, trained in the Jedi arts, brandishing a lightsaber no less. Maul was dispatched by Darth Sidious to track down the Queen, a feat he accomplished through mysterious yet effective means. Traveling aboard his sleek Sith Infiltrator, Maul scouted the galaxy for the missing monarch, and reported his findings to his master. When Amidala returned to Naboo, Maul was there, waiting to face the Jedi once more. As an undeniable example of his skill and devotion, Maul plunged headlong into battle against two Jedi warriors. Using his double-bladed lightsaber, Maul held off both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in the heart of the Theed Royal Palace. When the Jedi became separated, Maul killed Qui-Gon with a well-placed saber strike. Kenobi, enraged, attacked Maul. This barrage was deflected by Maul who used Obi-Wan's touching of the dark side as a conduit for a Force attack; using the Force, Maul pushed Obi-Wan into a deep mining pit. Kenobi held onto an outcropping for dear life. Calming himself by calling upon the light side of the Force, Kenobi was able to surprise Maul, and cleave him in half with his saber. A pained look of bewilderment crossed Maul's tattooed face as death overtook him. His body fell into the melting pit, splitting in two as it tumbled into oblivion. It was only a matter of time before Sidious acquired a new apprentice. Star-Wars.com
Palpatine and Sidious are the same person, dude. [/b][/quote] Damn, I thought so. Well, that clears up a lot of speculation while not paying attention to the story. What I mean is that all the Sith look ugly. Don't tease!
