I never picked up on that. Fantastic, well observed.RottenAtom wrote: I love the little details in the layout. Each poster has a row of characters. On the Star Wars poster they are all "good guys" and they are lined up at the top of the poster. This movie has a happy ending. On the Empire poster the character lineup is at the bottom of the poster and they are all "bad guys" or people who betrayed the rebels and this goes well with the tone and ending of Empire as the Universe is in disarray. On the Jedi poster the characters are good again and they are back on the top of the poster. Stout even shows Vader and Lando's redemption and includes them with the good guys. Genius design and a great way to switch up the titles and make them appealing to the eye instead of having them all at the bottom.
To summarize your aesthetic comments in another way:
Stout are the kitchen sink, nerdgasm of Star Wars. Observers lean in to soak up the detail and have their memory jolted by each scene and character.
Moss are the cool clean iconic representation of the saga, a summation in one image. Observers smile and admire the cleverness of the artist.
