only way to get them to even consider changing this art is if no one at all pre-orders it... which isn't going to happen. You'll have tonnes of collectors buying this crap, just so they can have every version of Star Wars possible, then you'll have scalpers wanting to buy it on the hope they can make an easy buck.

Ive cancelled my preoder for A new Hope after seeing this artwork. So dissapointing

Zavvi after someone cancel ANH:
So we are happy to announce that we are releasing another artwork for TESB

Spoiler

so you are all f*cked up

 

[Leafs17]

It's better than a stormtrooper head, but they passed over arguably the best looking SW poster for this dumb Vader head with weird glowy bits? Ugh.

Also, circle-shaped stars are dumb.

@Steelselecta right about now...




What was it you were saying? Giving away your entire collection or something.....

In utter shock at that artwork reveal!!!

Luckily I put in the disclaimer!

What disclaimer? I don't see one... But thanks in advance for the GA's!

It’s very highly unlikely it’s going to be that art mate. As @paulboland and I have said in previous posts, it’s likely to be the classic poster art. Paul can tell you more. But I’m 99.99% certain it won’t be the floaty head art. If it is I will give my entire steelbook collection away! Just to be clear, if it is, I will still definitely give everything away, no jokes!

 

[Michele]

Is this the official steelbook's artwork??? But this is not the movie's official poster right? I'd preferred this one

 

[DMD4k]

The silver lining to this atrocity could be Zavvi won't be cancelling any remaining multiple orders for the original.

 

[Robsonmonkey]

It's like going through Order 66 all over again :')

 

[Coolsambob]

Goddamn it.

I'll grab an order on Thursday and give it a while to see if it grows on me or if Jedi is any better.

It's still going to sell out either way
I and a lot of others would have preferred the back artwork from the 2015 steelbook

Disney decide all the artwork so it's all guess work on what the other steelbooks will use until the next Zavvi teaser posts

 

[TheWorz]

Ugh. I just..... No words.

 

[Star Wars Fan]

I'm still in shock.. I was expecting it but I still can't believe it. What was going through the designers mind? There must be a way to get this changed.. surely

 

[DMD4k]

It's a Star Wars blunder.

I think everyone would have preferred that. xD
But I should be thankful- with this “artwork” reveal I’m going to go back and cancel my Star Wars order. I don’t need to be wasting money on this line if this is what they’re pumping out!

Never posted here before but I'm making an effort to express how awful this decision is. They have taken down their Reddit post so that's a promising sign that Zavvi may be considering changing this. Its going to be the sales of all 11 films that are affected so would make sense not to eff it up on the second release. I pre-ordered ANH and do think I would keep that one still, but definitely can't bare to waste money on this floating Vader head. Think it would actually pain me to do it.
