Even though they've teased it, I really don't think it will be the horrific 70's disco Vader poster.
Even the pic they posted shows it being blurry. They won't use that. I think thats merely a teaser, just as that poster once was.

I'm certain, it will be, as one user above says "The gone with the wind" version.

The one they teased for A New Hope was also blurry (because they've zoomed in) though, and that obviously ended up as the front art...

My anxiety can’t take this. xD

It's honestly kinda pissing me off.

I know it's not Zavvi, but making them so limited and then being vague about when they became available for pre-order is really just getting annoying.

I really want the OT and if possible the rest, but if I can't get the OT I'll probably cancel my pre-order.

zavvi fixed their mistake

Today ?

 

[tha_lunatic]

Today ?

should be very soon.

the pre-order for ANH went live 1 day after the announcement. my guess ...next week.

 

[paulboland]

Pre order info coming soon
Likely pre order next week or following week

I expect pre order will be on Thursday May 21st the UK 40th Anniversary date

I've been lurking for years but made an account for this. Surely Disney wouldn't be stupid enough to release a steelbook of Darth Vader's head floating is space when the Iconic Empire Strikes Back poster exists.. surely????

I swear to god if this is the art I'll be livid

 

[Ashcroft]

Darth Floater would be an odd choice after they went to the trouble of making an awesome cover for ANH.

Welcome to the community!

Expressing disappointment towards Zavvi/Disney in your first post... you'll fit right in here.

ANOTHER CHALLENGER!!!
We must have a battle of wits... ;D

 

[Star Wars Fan]

What are the chances we can get the art changed IF it is floating head in space? Disney did put titles on spines after listening.

I don't think you should worry . . . I reckon they're having a bit of fun at our expense and just teased this image in the same way that the big head poster was teased before the actual official posters were released.

Teaser / Advance poster (Xmas 1979):-

Proper / Official posters (1980):-

On the other hand the image could be a genuine tease for this on the steelbook front:-

I think you're spot on there. Zavvi just keeping us guessing!

The teaser art would be a little boring when there are so many other great poster options.

 

[paulboland]

But that’s impossible! I was told u/ZavviOfficial was an imposter!

You was not told that
I said Zavvi themselves posted on Reddit but it's not the Zavvi offical twitter page

I was discussing Reddit in general as not reliable due to posting misleading fanart as confirmed Artwork often this cause others to the post that wrong info on other web forums

There is no need to be posting or mentioning Reddit as a source about releases on HDN

The official source links are Zavvi website or offical Zavvi facebook or Zavvi Twitter

The offical Zavvi twitter page is zavvi (@zavvi) | Twitter

Reddit is not offical Zavvi twiiter page it's
a web forum Zavvi reps post info on

HDN remove links to Reddit by members for good reasons

 

[GeoRattray]

So we can all...

Relax...until the Empire Strikes Back!
N.B.It's a metaphor for Disney, you know being the empire, right?

@felixmontoya92 @paulboland Let's not get back into this again, gents. Enough has been said on the topic from both sides in the other thread. Move on please.
