Look at this totally fucked up poster. Lord Helmet anybody? Seriously this really is terrible.

Lucas, the man who killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
So I see your schwartz is as big as mine.
What is it supposed to be? Cape Fear?
What else can go wrong?
Just about everything, I’m sure.
Funny, the helmeted face reminds me more of Jabba the Hut (the darker-skinned version that appeared in the extended scenes of A New Hope) than Darth Vader.
Haven’t you heard? Yoda Farts.
I’ve heard that after you see Episode 3, your memory of the original three movies gets erased. That way Lucas can remake them ‘the way he originally intended:’ with Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, Burt Reynolds as Han Solo, etc.
Hang on a minute – if Burt Reynolds is Han Solo, don’t you mean then that Jackie Gleason is Darth Vader?
Then Sally Field is Leia, Jerry Reed is Luke, Fred is Chewbacca, and the Milennium Falcon is actually a Trans Am…Pat McCormick as Obi Wan, Paul Williams as Yoda – holy cats, this is working out far too easily to be a coincidence!
I think I just realized what the picture is supposed to be. That in Anakin’s cape flying up with image of Lord Helmet on it.

Merchandising! Merchandising! Merchandising!

It looks like rough artwork you would use to pitch the concept rather than the finished article. I think it could have worked with some refinement and subtlety.
I totally didn’t get that it’s his cape until you mentioned it.
Same here…
I fear for the movie.
Saw this a few days ago on AICN. Between the bonk-you-over-the-head imagery and the ensuing talkbacks, my dome is STILL throbbing.
That thing looks more like the giant head from H.R. Puffinstuff than Darth Vader’s helmet…
EGAD!!! :smack:
Right. 'Cause all those billions and billions of dollars just ain’t maximizing the return on investment.
Like many people, I prefer the fake poster.

Oh yeah!
It doesn’t look so bad now. Before it looked like a very bad foreground/background person picture. Too many people will see it that way. The lord helmet needs to be more subtle.
The other problem is Anakin looks like The Crow.
