Awesome New Fan Poster For ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’
May 17th
The Mad Butcher has put together this great poster for Disney and Lucasfilm’s ‘Star Wars: Episode VII,’ which will be directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Michael Arndt and is scheduled for a 2015 release. The Mad Butcher’s description for the poster is as follows: “Done in more or less the same style as my previous poster, this one is part of a triptych that will include the returning characters from the original movies, the first being Luke Skywalker. Full disclosure: A part of the moutain scenery was taken from the Mondo poster of “John Carter”. I try not to use official artwork as often as possible. However, I used the John Carter art in a temporary capacity, before adding in my own background. After working on it for while, I realized it worked beautifully as it was and decided to leave it like that. A lot of hours were still spent on the rest of the image, I assure you.” The Mad Butcher’s previous poster for ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ can be viewed below.
