Olly Moss Star Wars posters
The internet is awash with Star Wars movie posters designed 30 years after the movies came out by people who, in some cases, weren't even alive at the time. Some of these designs are really terrific. British artist Olly Moss's take is a case in point. I especially like the ROTJ poster, pictured above, but follow the link to see all three.

TG Daily on that famous Star Wars poster
TG Daily has a great piece telling the story behind this classic Star Wars poster by Charles White III. From the article:
They found out the typography and the billing block didn't fit in the space they had left in the design. So what do we do to make more space on a poster that's already been painted? Let's pretend it's posted, then they can put the type below the actual poster. So we added to the actual poster by painting Obi Wan down the side, and stuff across the bottom to make it wider and deeper. So it was necessity that invented that. At the time, that was only the second Star Wars poster. I don't think it upset or scared anybody. In fact, that poster remained the favorite of many art directors in town.
By the way, this poster is for sale at Think Geek at a very reasonable price.
