Check out these cool Star Wars propaganda art that were designed by artist Cliff Chiang for a set of trading cards.
My favorite one is the last one with the Storm Troopers. These kind of remind me of the propaganda videos from Starship Troopers. Which one is your favorite?

Yeah 1 and 3 both have very Starship Troopers inspired feels to them. The second one is just stupid though; the slogan would work, the art doesn't.
I'd use 1 as my desktop wallpaper with ease.
Thanks for sharing.
What are you talking about?
The second one's fab! It's really quite amusing and its well drawn.
The second one is based on an actual propaganda poster from World War II. 'Loose lips sink ships.'
I would totally enlist. xD
Kind of awesome. If only Lucas had put as much creativity into the prequels.
" These kind of remind me of the propaganda videos from Starship Troopers. "
Wow, are you 15 years old or something? Your cultural ignorance is amazing.
Actually damnn I think you are the one that's functioning a little slowly today. The author clearly states that these are Star Wars propaganda art. He just adds that they have the feel from the Starship Troopers movie.
Thanks James, like I said above, I know what the cultural reference is and was making the Starship Troopers reference because it was another sci fi franchise that did a similar thing except they parodied the propaganda films instead of the posters.

You are an idiot. They reminded him of something, that doesn't mean he is totally ignorant to anything else they resemble just he thinks about one thing in particular more when he saw them.
Thanks Jonas, I mentioned Starship Troopers because it was another sci fi universe that parodies the propaganda films of World War 2, and this was with another sci fi franchise that was doing a similar thing except with the propaganda posters instead.

Very nice, except in number two Vader should be force choking that guy, obviously…
Very cool, was watching episode III again today.
I thought the imperials used clones… no enlistment?
It became a combination of both later on. I can't remember if there were problems with having the same person, or if it just wasn't feasible to continue cloning EVERY soldier, or if it was a combination of both.
actually i think the cloning stopped after the clone wars, then the first glactic empire recruited its citizens to become storm troopers.
how can they enlist if they are all clones anyway?
haha
love the art either way
If your twin enlisted, would that force you to join up? Clones are the same as twins or triplets, or quads, or…
Actually, you would need outside contractors for a job of that magnitude.
all storm troopers know is killing and white uniforms
Alot of young people would totally miss the point of the posters – you have to see the propaganda posters of the last 70 years to get a good laugh out of it.

i went to ILM a few years back, while episode 2 was still being produced. they had posters like these hanging up all over the place to remind employees not to talk about spoilers outside the office, like while at lunch or at parties. they were really cool, looked like old soviet propaganda. been looking for them for forever.
Love it.
Read your canon folks. Imperial troops were actively enlisted shortly after the clone wars. In fact, at one point even Han Solo worked for the Empire(hence the Corellian military garb he wears through out the movies.Notice that fashionable stripe on his pants? It’s indicative of military rank much like arm stripes in the army.)Great work, obviously 2 should’ve been a force choke but meh, art is art and art is awesome.
Han Solo's Corellian Bloodstripes on his pants aren't indicative of his time in Imperial Service. They were awarded by the Corellian Military, and not the Imperial Navy, so he was allowed to keep them when he was discharged and stripped of his rank/medals.
