not a very exciting poster

Looks very much like the ep.1 poster

it's not a great one, but it will be enough

it's ok, but I think they could've come up with something else than just pressing lots of characters into the poster.

Yeah but it's just a commercial and movie posters are always like that.

I like the poster - but a website (sorry, can't remember which) brought up an interesting point. The posters tend to be of an artistic/classic hand-drawn style, whereas the films (or at least the new ones) tend to showcase digital effects, and are more about the overwhelming dynamics of digital cinema.

The films and the posters almost differ/contrast ( in style )??

Saying that, I welcome digital effects in the SW series, and would rather they kept producing the posters with the traditional 'ensemble' technique, making the 6 movie posters follow on as a series, much like the films.

And I agree, there is deffinately a similarity here between the ep1 and ep2 poster.

As the teaser poster focused on the love between Anakin and Padme, perhaps it would have been nice for the launch poster to included more of a focus on Obi-Wan?

Very similar to EpI poster, but not bad. Sure it could have been better, but it's jsut to get us all hyped up about seeing AOTC....which BTW with the trailers looks great 🙂

i agree with Kane Starkiller. they make the poster look classic, when the movie invloves not so classic material including- digital effects.

So....it's just a poster.....

Good idea....

All the posters so far (originals, not the ones to the SE OT) always shows the bad guy on the top of the draw. (ANH and TESB: Vader, ROTJ: Palpy, TPM: Maul) and with this, anakin is slowly going to the top....

Maybe it means nothing, but is the first thing that I looked!!!

Or maybe all the wine i drank with dinner... 😮‍💨

hmmm could be, but you may have a point. Somebody pointed out that no sith was present on the poster, but Anakin himself is destined to be one of the greatest sith ever.

Could be the wine 🤣

It does look the the Phantom Menace poster, especially with the sun in the background like that.

Ewan McGregors name is first in the cast, so his picture should have been bigger, or equal to Hayden and Natalies.

True.....I think they should have made Jango smaller and Obi wan even bigger. Hayden and Natalie's pic is just the right size...you'd think they'd be a little more original that using the suns again...oh well...

Another thing; they need to lose the "Episode" part of the title logo.

If people don't know it's episode II, then they havn't been following things, and it wouldn't matter to them anyway.

I`ve seen better, kind of resemble the ESB poster

I've looked at it for a while, and what I like is that they've put anakind and amidala up that big. it feels right...

Obi Wan should have been much bigger. At least bigger than Padme. Its okay, but it has too much of a romantic feel to it.

no, padme and anakin should be the biggest ones, and this makes it look like a cheesy romantic book cover, and that's great, because many will think it's weird!! 🙂

Padme should have her shirt off, too!

there goes the thread
