Disney revamps controversial 'Solo' posters for international marketing

The international posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story have undergone a bit of a makeover.

Following a little snag where Disney's original character posters were claimed as theft by a French artist, the new ones opt for a slightly different aesthetic that still pairs one character with a matching color.

The color scheme has stayed the same; red-orange for Han, blue for Lando, pink-purple for Qi'ra, and yellow for Chewie. One slight modification is that Han's now says "Han" and not "Solo" – a minor gripe about the originals when everybody else had a first name (to be totally fair, Chewbacca does not have a last name).

The Hollywood Reporter wrote March 5 that Disney was looking into allegations about plagiarism from the French artist who claimed the posters were his designs for album covers from 2015. The company could be pivoting toward these versions – either way, it doesn't hurt to have a back up plan.

Another interesting note from GeekTyrant is that none of the characters have guns anymore. These posters are international, but the wave of news about gun control following the Parkland shooting in February has been steady enough to cross international waters, where the U.S. has a bit of a reputation for loving its guns.

Solo: A Star Wars Story releases May 25.
