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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

That thing looks more like the giant head from H.R. Puffinstuff than Darth Vader’s helmet… EGAD!!! :smack: ---

Like many people, I prefer the fake poster. > **[STAR WARS Episode 3 Teaser One Sheet' NOPE!](http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/18590)** > > Hey folks, Harry here. "R" sent me the following poster, I'm not entirely sure who "R" is or for whom he or any "Friends of R" work, but I do know that the following poster seems to follow the thematics of the Prequel Teaser Poster...

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. ---
