Was this painted before anybody was cast ?

The characters on the painting look nothing like the actors

I wondered the same thing...even as a kid.

That classic poster by the Brothers Hildebrandt was actually based on an earlier SW poster by artist Tom Jung.

Lucas felt the Jung version was "too dark" and asked the Brothers to make a more vibrant and colourful version, and they did it with no photo references of Hamill and Fisher, deliberately giving the characters a more heavily stylized look.

The only thing I wondered is why we had to wait until ROTJ and the slave girl outfit to get an image of Leia that's hotter then this one.

Thinking if Disney were to do a live action adaptation of Shadows Of the Empire as a stand alone film, I could see Robert Downey Jr. cast as Dash Rendar, Johnny Depp as Prince Xixor, and Daniel Logan as Boba Fett. Naturally the roles of Luke, Leia, Lando, Wedge, and Vader would have to be recast.

little late but I hope you all had a happy May the 4th be with you

after a long day out with the kids (they had soccer game) and other running around - ended the night with my son asking to watch ROTJ
He is only 3 going on 4 - but you can see I trained him well
