"This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship." Not long after mentioning that the first 3D trailer for the re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace would be playing in front of The Three Musketeers in a few weeks, an official poster has popped up as well. Revealed by Bleeding Cool, this official poster features a very prominent Darth Maul (obviously one of the best parts of seeing this in 3D) and an updated logo for next year's 3D release. Thankfully Jar Jar is nowhere to be found, but besides Yoda and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, neither is Qui-Gon Jinn or Padmé either. Check this out below!
This is the biggest we could find, click to be taken to the original. We'll updated with high res when we can.
George Lucas' Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, originally released in late May of 1999, will be re-released in digital 3D in theaters everywhere starting February 10th early next year. This is the first of six planned re-releases for the entire Star Wars saga, progressing in numerical order (as long as this one is a success). Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a "galaxy far, far away," Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga's most stunning and spectacular sequences – from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi. The 3D conversion was supervised by Industrial Light & Magic.

Jar Jar Binks IN YOUR FACE 3D for 15 dollars... yea, who wouldn't pass that up-right? >_>

Totally couldn't pass it up! The sheer artistic prowess of such a character doing flips into a lake is something I could never pass up! Say that with a straight face.

If you go by the Plinkett Test, Jar Jar is probably the best character in the first film. The rest of them just kinda stand around being emotionless for most of the film.

This poster is literally a few screen grabs from the film photoshopped into a box with some really bad glow / shadow and LENZFLA1RD to death. Not only could a child have made this poster, I would wager that your average teenager could have made a better one. If this just randomly popped up on a search and not on several film news websites, I would have immediately thought it was a fake made by a child.

STARWARS EPISODE 1 THE RAPE OF THE JEDI

I've always hated how the Star Wars marketing department promotes Darth Maul as a major character. He's in, like, 15 minutes of one movie. I'm only angry because I wanted him to be a major character. Besides that, I'm going to see it for the pod races and final lightsaber battle. Haters gonna hate...and still go to see it.

But he does kill a major character in the movie. So the limelight. But I agree its a bit too much to give him so much space on the poster.

I wonder if in this version, every time something goes wrong with his pod in the big Pod Race, Anakin screams, "Nnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" And also when he has to leave his mother. And when Mace and Yoda say he won't be a Jedi. And when he finds out Padme was just pretending to be a servant who liked cleaning astromech droids and making inappropriate google-eyes at 8-year-old boys. Should I go on, or...?

They should've commissioned Drew Struzan to do a new poster. This one looks like something from a high school Intro to Photoshop class, awful.

DAMIN IT!!!.... To quote R. Kelly: "my mind's tellin me nooooooo.... " Yet I find my self knowingly drawn to it like a moth to a Zap Lamp. Couldnt they just do the Phantom Edit in 3D???? *ugh

Obviously, you guys don't know your expanded universe very well...Darth Maul is a major player and Lucas has been quoted as saying "If I knew he was going to be so popular, I wouldn't have killed him off." This will be interesting for a couple of reasons...first all the kids who love Star Wars now, but never got to see it in theaters will have the chance...plus the pod race alone in 3D will be amazing. Personally, I loathe 3D, but will take my 12 year old son to see them because he is a bigger fan than I ever was!
