If the Empire is looking for a way to recruit, they should
look at
these Star Wars
pin-up
posters.

Recruitment
Pin-up Poster “Do your part, SERVE!” by Feng Zhu
One common method of propaganda uses images of beautiful men
and women
to make people think that if they follow a certain ideology,
they too
will be happy or successful. In that sense, these are
brilliant.
Feng
Zhu is a concept artist who’s worked on Star Wars
Episode III:
Revenge of the Sith (2005) and Transformers:
Revenge of the Fallen (2009). He drew “Imperial
Recruitment” posters for the trade paperback Star
Wars Visionaries
of the WWII posters.
Try and stay away from the Empire now.

I dunno Pat. Luke wanted to join
A huge drive Nutschell!
Come to the Dark Side Spacerguy. It's only logical
Looking at those posters I can see why a kid from Tatooine would want to join.
Where can I buy these posters???? It's exactly what I need to complete my basement that is half Star Wars (me) and half pinup girls ( my wife)
