To celebrate "Star Wars Day," which is honored every "May the 4th," Disney+ is releasing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on the streaming service, which makes the entire Skywalker Saga available to subscribers. In honor of the streaming debut, Disney+ shared a poster for the Skywalker Saga, which brought together many of its most iconic figures from all corners of the franchise, from prequel villain Darth Maul to sequel hero Rey to original icons Luke, Han, and Leia. The artwork didn't manage to include all of the famous faces from the franchise, with fans disappointed that Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker wasn't on the poster.

Anakin isn't the only one missing, as figures like Mace Windu and Supreme Leader Snoke are also nowhere to be found, but with him being the Skywalker that launched the narrative with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it seems like an odd omission.

Ratio Incoming

Hoo lawdy I'm not big on the prequels but leaving out Anakin after spending decades establishing him as a separate entity from Vader? That's how you get ratios.

Implications

i like the implication in this poster that yoda and young padmé were on the border between light and dark unlike someone (anakin) we know (anakin) about (anakin) who totally stuck to just one side (a n a k i n s k y w a l k e r)

Anakin and Ben

Anakin and Ben deserve to be front and center, with both halves of their faces in the Light and Darkside. smh

Main Character

"Skywalker Saga" dosn't show the main character of the entire prequel trilogy....yeah I'll stick with this poster. I've always loved Heyden a few awkward lines dosn't mean he did a bad job. pic.twitter.com/PjOIi8dgvP
