Today we offer our sixth poster in our ongoing Lucasfilm poster series. We reached out to a new artist named Shan Jiang and he turned in this exquisite work…

Shan took some time out to talk about the thoughts that went into making Dawn of Tatooine:
“Imagining what those people on Tatooine see in every day life is something I wanted to create for this Star Wars poster. One of the Sandtroopers is patrolling on the night shift and decides to stay up on a high rock with his Dewback. Maybe he is waiting to see the sunrise or just wants to be alone for a little while. It s a little peace before things eventually go wrong.”
Check out these photos of the actual poster and the amazing detail Shan put into it.

Absolutely beautiful.
I’m glad I got this! My first Mondo poster and I’m loving it. Hope to see more work from Shan Jiang, wicked poster.
Wow, this looks great, hoping for some main characters like R2 coming soon! What a beautiful piece of art.
Amazing work. Detail is exquisite. I hope to see this new artist more! (Perhaps in Star Trek posters)
P.S. If I may nit–why can we see stars through a moon?
@SW Purist: because those aren’t stars fool, they’re space glitter! Sheesh
I love that detail shot of the Dewback hide. And every Star Wars fan should recognize the sparkly midichlorians floating in the hazy atmosphere, visible only just before sunrise. I don’t blame that Sandtrooper for taking a few minutes at the end of a long night shift to drink some blue milk and appreciate the view.
