A Star Wars Post

There are a growing number of Star Wars advertisement posters. The franchise has been booming since the movies came out, and have subsequently become the most recognizable science fiction franchise on Earth.

The movies are classics (I could argue all day about how episodes 1-3 are garbage... but that is not the point) and as a result, have generated an incredible amount of products, parks, events, viral videos (One, Two, Three, Four, Five...), memes, and conventions.

It has led to multiple spin-offs and continuations and video games and useless novels and everything else.

What I enjoy the most are these mock advertisements in Star Wars theme.
Granted, some are scandal, and some are just dubiously creative, but they are rather well done (regardless of taste).















The sources I got these from have several more. They are listed below:
Choosing Sides: Star Wars Branding Star Wars Propaganda Posters Star Wars PSAS
Star Wars Pin-Ups (Yeah, I'm Confused Too) Star Wars Arts


This whole genre brings an interesting idea of using these cultural wonders thought of as classics to advertise most anything... to draw on demographics that they market to already.
