You Can’t Escape the Poster Posse

Check out the complete poster collection and exclusive commentary from the artists themselves.

It’s becoming a welcome tradition. Over the last few years, Lucasfilm and Disney have collaborated with the artists of Poster Posse to celebrate the releases of new Star Wars storytelling, creating gorgeous posters for The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The partnership continued for Obi-Wan Kenobi — all episodes are now streaming on Disney+ — with a stunning series of art. The works range from Chelsea Lowe’s gritty Western take to Scott Hopko’s haunting Darth Vader, all evoking moods and themes from the show. Each poster debuted first on official Star Wars social channels, and starwars.com is excited to feature the entire run here, along with exclusive commentary from the artists.

“When I was asked to create a poster for Obi-Wan Kenobi, I was so excited! I knew from the start I wanted him to be the center focus of the poster — complete with a stern and determined look on his face. I was asked to incorporate Tatooine in some way, so I made sure to give the poster a warm, desert color scheme. I also used some textured, painterly brushes to really help capture the grittiness of a desert atmosphere.

“Star Wars has been a constant in my life ever since I can remember. My late grandfather was always a mega fan and I fondly remember watching the films with him during the summers I’d spend at my grandparents’ house. The franchise is iconic, giving us the greatest good versus evil story of all time, and the greatest heroes and villains pop culture has seen. Not to mention it is full of so many themes that are still relevant to our society.” — Chelsea Lowe
