Star Wars Episode 7: No Director, But Maybe A Poster Artist

Ever since Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy promised more Star Wars Episode 7 news in January, fans have anxiously been awaiting an announcement on who will direct the film. While the days of January are ticking away with no official director announcement yet in sight, we do have some other Star Wars Episode 7 news. It looks like we might know who is going to be doing the posters. In an interview with Fanhattan, legendary poster artist Drew Struzan revealed that he had gotten a call from Disney about Star Wars. Even though Struzan has said to be retired, it looks like Star Wars might change that. Drew Struzan said, "Oh, well, never say never, [laughs] because…in fact, I got a couple calls already this week on Star Wars from Disney. Oh my god, I'm trying to be retired! You know, I spent 35 years painting Star Wars. [laughs] I painted Star Wars before most of you were born! But I guess there is always a chance. There's no intention. But I would love to have a day off every now and again, and I have to work a weekend and all through the night. If the opportunity arises, it will be a real temptation. But it's going to have to be a real temptation to get me away from my wife and my little grandkids and my family. Away from the green trees and the blue skies for a change instead of just locked in the studio. But, you know, never say never. All things are possible."
