From starwars, Composed in the spirit of the retro-inspired 1978 "Circus" poster for Star Wars (so-called because of its big-top genre look), StarWarsShop's new "Sith Circus" one-sheet by artist Matt Busch brilliantly captures the adventure, excitement and emotion of Revenge of the Sith in a fresh and unexpected way. And StarWarsShop is the only place you can get one!
Fans of the 1978 poster by artists Charles White III and Drew Struzan will note many of the compositional elements of the Sith Circus artwork have been reversed to allow for a side-by-side presentation with the 1978 original. Together, the two beautifully showcase many of the heroes and villains from both trilogies.

Is it just me or does Padme kind of look like Angelina Jolie?
That's really cool!
That's my favorite 1978 poster (the one that this one copies). Lucas owns the original painting, apparently.
I love the way the artist has to add a second piece of paper to the wall, since the old-style poster can't hold all the necessary credits.
The composition really captures the spirit of the movie. The new version seems like a bit of a reach but I'll have to see a sharper image of it.
I love the original as well. I have a reprint of this poster,

Man, I have no memory of that particular Star Wars poster, but that is pretty cool. Especially if you put the old poster on the right so that the landspeeder and that clone biker are gonna crash.
I really like the respective Kenobis in the margin.
