Gallery: Check Out All Of Drew Struzan’s Star Wars Paintings

He didn’t just do movie posters.

You may not know Drew Struzan by name, but it’s a safe bet you’ve seen his fantastic art. He’s painting some of the best movie posters in the business, including all of the Star Wars films. Just this weekend at D23, his poster for The Force Awakens was unveiled, but we thought it would be fun to look back at all his Star Wars work. He not only did posters for the films, but also a ton of book and comic covers. Let’s check them out!

Revenge of the Jedi

If you recall, this was the original name and poster for Return of the Jedi. George Lucas reconsidered the name, however, as he felt revenge wasn’t very characteristic of the Jedi. He later used “revenge” for Episode III, since that’s a very Sith thing to do.

The Jedi Prince – The Glove of Darth Vader

Kids of the 90s may remember the The Jedi Prince series as children’s books. They’re so bad that they were decanonized and have been floating in Star Wars limbo every since. The bright side, we suppose, is that now the Star Wars Holiday Special has some company for its place in fiction hell.
