Exclusive 2025 San Diego Comic-Con Star Wars Posters

Darth Vader Rise

Artist: Andrew Switzer

Designed to mark the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith, this poster captures the exact moment Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. A tight crop on his helmet draws focus, with the fateful duel against Obi-Wan reflected in the eyepiece—a final glimpse of the Jedi he once was. The fiery landscape of Mustafar burns in the background, mirroring his descent. The single word “RISE” echoes Palpatine’s command, marking the point of no return.

A New Hope

Artist: Russell Walks

With the recent excitement surrounding Andor and Rogue One, artist Russell Walks decided to take a fresh look back at Star Wars: A New Hope, through a lens colored by the latest Star Wars story. Using a cool color palette much like the one used in Andor, Walks focuses on Princess Leia and R2, the Rebellion's emissaries to Obi-Wan Kenobi, as they embark on a heroic journey that, ultimately, will change the course of galactic history.

The Battle of Coruscant

Artist: Joe Corroney

In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Revenge of the Sith this year I chose to spotlight the menacing Separatist leader General Grievous and his droid army as they strike the heart of the Republic, the city planet of Coruscant, from the beginning of the film. Grievous is a fan favorite character and one of my favorite villains from the Star Wars saga and this intense battle is a particular highlight from the film for me. This artwork is also designed to be a companion piece to my exclusive Battle of Kashyyyk poster art featuring Yoda and his Wookiee allies available at my booth 4300 for this year’s SDCC.

Rebel Scum

Artist: Ellie Ripberger

This poster is a light-hearted tribute to the rebels we love–and the Empire loves to hate. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca are the original rebel scum of the galaxy. Inspired by the Brat Pack of the 80s, artist Ellie Ripberger chose to use a bold graphic style and poses that reflect the mischievous rebel determination classic to Star Wars. It’s a depiction of cool confidence and daring defiance.

Rogue One

Artist: Sarah Wilkinson

I wanted to focus on K-2SO's essential role in fighting the Empire and his compelling character arc, which traces his transformation from Imperial security droid to dedicated Resistance fighter.

The top section shows the Signal Tower, its beam carrying the Death Star plans to the Profundity ship above. Fan favorite ships fill the scene, including the Y-Wing, X-Wing, Ghost, and U-Wing. The middle section focuses on the data card, shown behind K2SO with the round gold panel. This card is later given to Princess Leia, who seeks Obi-Wan's help: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Finally, the bottom section presents a contrasting view: the Imperial Landing Platform and the stunning beaches of Scariff, defended by two imposing AT-ACTs and a smaller AT-ST.

I designed the border as gold connectors that might be found on the data card. The color palette, inspired by the Maldives beaches where parts of Rogue One were filmed, transitions from tan sands and sea-green waters to the deep blues of space.
