“ I ’m so felicitous and grateful to get to work on these movies again , even more so to be given the freedom to carry on what I start with Empire , ” says Ferguson . “ For that poster , a moth-eaten mechanically skillful vibe completely bring over the whole composition . But Return of the Jedi is very much the triumph of Luke and the Rebels , so I wanted to have more of the warmer coloring material coming back into the prowess , hence pivoting to greenish with ruddy accents . ”
“ The art should tell a story , so for me it only made sentience to give over the composition to those two characters , ” he continues in theblog post . “ Will Luke be turned ? Is Vader move to overcome the darkness ? It ’s all about the pull between dear and evil . ”
