Beniboybling Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Thought I'd share this poster from Rebels, I think its pretty awesome. EDIT: Starwars.com now has an article on it and with more posters! Edited February 5, 2014 by Beniboybling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Odd that Vader isn't shown...but then again...Vader. Anyway...looks good and hopefully if judging by the posters. We see lots of Empire stuff. Anywhoo...the posters look nice! Edited February 5, 2014 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there is always this one, though I'm not sure if its official. Altogether I've always been a massive fan of these propaganda posters, I love how they give it a WW vibe.

Euphrosyne Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The second poster's kind of funny. It looked familiar to me for a few seconds before I realized that the Regular Army guy's head is ripped almost directly off of an old Waffen-SS poster. That seems...entirely appropriate to me. But I think you guys already knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nydus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Odd that Vader isn't shown...but then again...Vader. Hmmm... I'd argue not really, considering that Palpatine portrays the Jedi Order as evil and doesn't exactly come out of the closet to the populace as "hey, I'm a Sith Lord" (I don't remember any imperial referring to the "Sith"). Vader is even treated with disdain by mid-level officers in A New Hope. I think what he is to us, the audience, is different from how he is perceived and portrayed to the Imperial population in those movies, at least at first. I've always pictured him as being a mysterious figure to the population, the "last of religious cult" who is allowed to live because he was the only one who didn't "betray" the republic. A commander on a top secret military installation (the Death Star) doesn't even appreciate his powers and taunts him about this. I think the Emperor keeps him on the DL, really. He is sort of a secret weapon he pulls out when he needs a troubleshooter. - Arcada Edited February 6, 2014 by Nydus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardaTheHobo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Looks cool. But I have to admit, I am not a fan of how the Inquisitor looks. Not in this particular poster (he looks cool in the poster) but in general. Edited February 6, 2014 by BardaTheHobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really a secret weapon either as Vader has done many campagins throughout the GCW, he was known. But then again I guess having a recruitment poster of a ruthless leader wouldn't exactly entice anyone to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I expect they would have him idolized as a hero is some function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really a secret weapon either as Vader has done many campagins throughout the GCW, he was known. Perhaps not mysterious, but consider also the Moff's attitude towards Vader; not exactly servitude ("enough!"). It makes one think -- at the time at least -- that Vader is not exactly considered "2nd in line to the throne", but a Jedi that the Emperor has allowed to live... One of the things I'm interested to see is how Vader and Palpatine are perceived by the masses, and Imperial culture in general. But I expect they would have him idolized as a hero is some function. I'm not really into the EU surrounding the original movies so I don't really have a point of reference besides the movies. He appears to be feared more than loved, but we have no idea what the average imperial citizens would think. All I know is that the Jedi Order is demonized for treason, and Palpatine "spares" Vader as he was the only Jedi "unware of this plot", if I'm remembering the words correctly. Palpatine never declares a "Sith Empire" and as far as I know the public has no idea that he is even force sensitive. They know Vader is, but when we first see him this is disparaged and he is ordered to stop when he makes a demonstration... If Motti is just an idiot, I'm not sure why he is in a position of influence on top secret pet project of the Emperor. - Arcada Edited February 6, 2014 by Nydus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
