Notice how in every poster for Star Wars the backdrop and gloom overlooker is the villain (Or soon to be villain in Clone Wars.) Why is Luke used as this in the poster for The Last Jedi? Some weird food for thought.

If you draw Vader's mask on any of the movie posters, you'll clearly see Vader's mask on them. Those artists, man. So sublime.

My god! they are right! if you select only movie posters that fit the trend the trend fits! just ignore this

shhh..let people be wrong about things.

Actually, op used only original posters. And if you're gonna argue revenge of the Jedi on me, don't. Vader is 80% of it.
ItsMeSanders
But this style of poster correlates with the others, there a few other Last Jedi Posters too.
Gorillazfan21
I would argue it's not necessarily the villain, but more of the character who drives change for that film

Ezzybells
Also the layout looks like Vader's mask.
pukeface666
And Snoke has yet to have a full presentation. Can't really use him as the backdrop yet.
Alavar
To be fair Palpatine was the Master behind Vader but he was never used as backdrop either.

I was actually thinking that as well.

He also didn't have a proper introduction until episode 6.

Not exactly. There are two sides - ones who think that real SW are 4,5,6 ONLY, and other, who now create TOO MANY theories on every 1/2

Aspect of every trailer and every character and every whatever it is. DO those theories, but be sensible. 2/2
dowingba
It's just because cloaks look cool.
JormaHeart
this is also the first of the posters where the color scheme is mainly sith-colors, and Luke is basically the villain from the sithside.
JormaHeart
And if you compare the two most recent, "main" good and bad have swapped places, representing the possible viewpoint in this movie.
Actualdeadpool
It's all about shades of grey this time.
SemperFiZero
Maybe Luke booked it because he had dark side tendencies and wanted to self-banish because he might have influenced his nephew?
SemperFiZero
No wait, that would be a good story, definitely not the case for Star Wars.
StillPimpin
Plot twist, Jedi are now considered the bad guys in the Star Wars Universe.
Hetuni
A lot of people just see them as evil space wizards, same as the Sith.

>start. Plus it's star wars and everything has to be approved by disney (for the last couple, lucasfilm for the others)

Actually, it's all Lucasfilm. Bob Iger has given command to Kathleen Kennedy.

It is a Drew Struzan piece; he puts a ton of thought and care into them. He is one of the few people still doing the whole thing by hand.
Fierfly
Anatagonist*. Vader wasn't the bad guy in RotJ, that was the Emperor. Vader was the one to end the Sith in RotJ
CMoeBaggins
I agreed at first but then it occurred to me that the apprentice had to kill the master for the line of master&apprentice to continue...
AStegosaurus
It is less heroic when it is just a sith doing sith things. Killing the master and hiring a new guy is what they do. That's what happens
AStegosaurus
when you keep writing story but have zero ability to plan. Though Lucas proved during the prequels that he couldn't even do shit properly
AStegosaurus
when he already knew what was supposed to happen.

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Alternatively, all the top guys are from the Skywalker Family. Last Jedi will confirm that Darth Maul is Anakin's Dad.

Of Darth Maul is reys father?

I'm still betting on that Luke has become a gray Jedi.

I don't think you or the guy who thinks he could alternatively be Rey's dad understand how genetics work.
SuperHir0
Assuming different species can procreate successfully together in the first place, I doubt the offspring would look wholly like one race.
fatflatfish
Inter species children were shown in the clone wars series, episode 'the deserter' the kids were half clone half twi'lek. They looked weird.
SuperHir0
Darth maul isn't some painted weirdo. He's a Dathomirian Zabrak. Not human.
AngelicOrb
But how? It was said there was no father. The only thing i could think of is darth plagueis using mitichlorians to create him.
scoobydeezy
There's a theory out there that it was actually Palpatine that manipulated them and was thus Anakin's "Father."
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
Plageius and Sidious bother fucking with the force radiated out and forced fertilized an egg. True story.
TechnicallyRight
Wow, its like Anakin was a immaculate conception just like Jesus. Weird how Stars Wars is just a retelling of the bible/ jesus's life....

AllWeAreIsDustinNguyen
Mark Hamill said he thought nothing could surprise him but this script surprised him. And Luke says the Jedi must end. He's the villain.
Gawky
my guess is some sort of "grey" moderate way of doing it, no more jedi, no more sith, -a galactic order of knights to protect the senate
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
one theory that makes a lot of sense to me is that he's done research into the origins of the Jedi order, wherein he found out that they>
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>used to be practitioners of the dark and light side equally, maintaining a balance. These days the Jedi and Sith aren't about balance>
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre

IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>aren't worth trying to rebuild, while Rey might be there to show him that light and dark can coexist.
MADrevolution
It's a single line taken out of context, it could be from the start of the film and he's depressed and doesnt want to train more jedi.
PhailRaptor
I think villain is a bridge too far. Based on what I've seen, Luke has given up on the Light and instead turned to the balance.
laotzu12
This would be so great and SO much more sophisticated if true.
ChimiFuckinChanga
Would be cool if he is a gray Jedi.
Alavar
But then where does that leave Smoke? I understand you can have more then one villain. But with Star Wars it always seemed to be pupil 1/2
Alavar
And Master. Snoke and Luke are both masters and old fucks in their own right. It will be interesting. 2/2
BlankMage
It seems like Kylo and Rey might both reject their respective masters and pursue their own agendas, possibly together. Who knows?
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
So personally, I doubt there is any correlation to the posters. Vader is the overlooker in the OT posters because he's the 1/2
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
overarching villain in all 3. The prequel posters really don't have much rhyme or reason to them honestly. There are holes in the theory.
SaltheartFoamfollower
There's a theory out there that Snoke is basically an ancient force vampire. He's been munching on force users to regenerate himself. 1/2
SaltheartFoamfollower
2/2 Disappointing if true, but it does solve the mystery of Kylo's primitive style of lightsaber, and what he's doing to Rey in the trailer.
snozeberriestastelikesnozeberries
Possibly Rey and Kylo team up at the end to defeat the darkness that took over luke, why has Luke been hiding all this time, must be a reaso
snozeberriestastelikesnozeberries
Also I don't know alot about star wars so forgive me if this idea is flawed
snozeberriestastelikesnozeberries
Or their roles reverse, Kylo turn good in the end and Rey turns her back and joins the dark side
TheGreatAnhey
Makes sense, in the trailer Luke looks scared of Rey but seems to keep her in the dark about her origins so she goes to snoke to find out
ShinySephiroth
I'm still hoping this happens. I have a crazy theory that Rey is a Palpatine clone and that's why Luke is conflicted about her - she's
ShinySephiroth
Destined to have Palpatine eventually show himself. That's why Snoke wants her so badly - to make Palpatine fully manifest himself. Kylo
ShinySephiroth
Will turn good and episode ix will be following a reformed Kylo hunting down Rey to save her from the evil within #fanfic
ShinySephiroth
I think he means they shouldn't be Sith or Jedi. They are both aspects of a whole. Jedi were too strict. Helped push Anakin to the Dark Side

Niddhoger
strict measures like no family ties/no emotion were measures enacted out of fear. And we all know what fear leads to.... 1/3
ShinySephiroth
If they weren't so strict Anakin would have been able to have a wife and would've been less likely to betray the Light Side. Even Yoda & Qui
AStegosaurus
Anakin married Padme. Having a wife did not stop him from being a whiny little bitch about his bad dreams and not getting that promotion.

How can you be on the Council and not be a Master!?
