The variant strikes me as the better of these two. Something about the deliberately sketchy font across the top of the main poster detracts from the image, in my humble opinion. The print, titledThat Armor’s Too Strong for Blasters, is, of course, a recreation of this famous scene fromStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
/Film’s own Jacob Hall witnessed the impetus of this poster back atMondoCon 2016. Here’s how he described the moment:
