Cool Stuff: May The Fourth Be With These New 'Star Wars' Trilogy And 'The Mandalorian' Posters
Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you! Now it's time to spend some money on stuff you don't need.
Bottleneck Gallery has released a big batch of new Star Wars posters by artists Pablo Olivera, Bartosz Kosowski, Lawrence Noble, and Marko Manev. Some of the focus on the original Star Wars trilogy while others dig into the second season of The Mandalorian. But that's not all.
Artist Scott C. has also debuted a Star Wars collection of his signature Great Showdowns watercolor prints inspired by A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, and the first season The Mandalorian. Meanwhile, Mondo also has a detailed new print by artist Mike Sutfin that's inspired by a certain wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Mondo had artist Mike Sutfin create this print inspired by A New Hope. Sutfin said of his print:
"Faced with the vastness of the Star Wars universe, and the fact the material within had been covered to the point of redundancy, I felt an immense responsibility to bring something different. I began considering the visual origins of Star Wars and the concept paintings created by legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie. Many of his preproduction designs were not specific to the plot, but they introduced a unique environment to set the tone and invite curiosity. Going forward with that mindset, I began sketching out a poster not based within the frames of the completed film, but from an imaginary page that fell from Lucas' notebook, or from a yet-to-be revealed extended scene."
All versions of "We Must Be Cautious" will be available on The Drop at 11:00 A.M. CT.

Finally, Scott C. has five different additions to his ever-growing Great Showdowns water color collection.
The new showdown from A New Hope has Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker with R2-D2 and C-3PO sitting in the landspeeder as they get interrogated by a squad of Stormtroopers. Meanwhile, the prints for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi feature Han Solo and Luke Skywalker dealing with a couple signature creatures. The Force Awakens gets a new entry into the Great Showdown line-up with Rey and Finn facing Kylo Ren. And finally, The Mandalorian has Din Djarin holding the Razor Crest's joystick knob as he stands across from a cute little Grogu.
All of Scott C.'s Star Wars Day prints will be on sale at his shop for 48 hours starting at 10:00 A.M. ET on May 4.
