I did something similar, exploring the question of what the posters might have looked like had Star Wars been released in earlier decades. http://www.russellwalks.com/walksretrocollection.jpg These images are licensed, and several are available as posters. They'll also be seen in Topps Ciompany's upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy 5 set of trading cards. smaller image here: http://www.russellwalks.com/walksretrocollectionb.jpg Gorgeous!

Am I the only one who has ever wondered how crappy the other six planets in the Hoth system would have to be as hideouts for the rebels to set themselves up on an essentially featureless iceball?
