The Circus is Now Complete

September 12, 2007

Composed in the spirit of the retro-inspired 1978 "Circus" poster for Star Wars (so-called because of its big-top genre look), StarWarsShop's new "Sith Circus" one-sheet by artist Matt Busch brilliantly captures the adventure, excitement and emotion of Revenge of the Sith in a fresh and unexpected way. And StarWarsShop is the only place you can get one!

Fans of the 1978 poster by artists Charles White III and Drew Struzan will note many of the compositional elements of the Sith Circus artwork have been reversed to allow for a side-by-side presentation with the 1978 original. Together, the two beautifully showcase many of the heroes and villains from both trilogies.

When you purchase both posters, you can display them in the order you enjoy watching the movies -- prequels first or prequels last -- since the two display beautifully either way!

For the first 500 Hyperspace members who purchase the Sith Circus one-sheet, a free concept sketch of the artwork will be included, exhibiting some of the ideas that were considered early on (including Padmé with a blaster!).

Also, 15-percent of the total print run will include the signature of artist Matt Busch, which will be randomly sent out to those who purchase the Sith Circus poster (this applies to both Hyperspace and non-Hyperspace members).

The posters measure approximately 27"x40", with the concept sketch dimensions TBD.

This is a limited edition one-sheet that will only be available through StarWarsShop. Celebrate 30 years of Star Wars with an artwork pair that truly captures the spirit of the saga!
