I have the other two in this series and was eagerly awaiting the reveal. I hope other fans are satisfied but I for one am totally disappointed. Ugly colors,ugly composition. It does not feel smart or dynamic like the other two do to me. I knew this was going on sale and I was on the Bottleneck site when it went up, but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase an ugly poster of Jabba and Bikini Leia. Alas, my series will remain incomplete. At least I've got Gabz' print.

I completed the series but I too was let down with this one. I would love to see if there were other designs that were passed over...surely they would have been better choices over this.

Tension. Release. Such important aspects of any good movie. Rodriguez chose to illustrate 3 of the most tense moments in the trilogy and I think they work really well together. I don't love the color palette on these as much as the others but I love the choice of scene.

This print is terrible. This doesn't even look like something worthy of the ROTJ storybook. Completely uninspired.

Weakest poster of the 3 for by far the worst movie of the trilogy. Sounds about right

And personally, I love that they are 18" X 24" instead of larger. Just wondering if this artist has any skills with faces/likenesses though or if the next 2 will be "faceless" as well.
Looks like you got your answer!
