The Empire is striking back. Thanks to famed illustrator Feng Zhu, a designer for everyone from Electronic Arts to Microsoft, Darth Vader and the Emperor now have their best propaganda campaign yet.
Zhu, who also designed the "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" ad campaign, has created a series of eye-popping recruitment posters for the Empire's army, complete with appetizing blond and freaky Star Wars demon creatures.
Keep reading for more images from the Imperial Recruitment series, which certainly tempts us toward the Dark Side.
(Oh, and if you're the party pooper who piped up in this comments section with "This is seriously not Star Wars canon, everyone knows that the soldiers for the Empire were all clones, i.e. no need for real recruitment": Shut up and behold the awesome power of intergalactic sexuality, something you probably aren't even allowed to masturbate to since you're only 12.)

To make myself sound like a HUGE Star Wars nerd...
During the first set of films, there was actually stuff put out by Lucas about Imperial recruitment. The theory goes that many of the clones were killed in the Clone Wars, so to maintain a vast army, Palpatine began to recruit people. If you remember from the first movie, two of Luke's friends went into "The Academy", which was basically basic training Empire style. They're hopes were to join the Empire, then defect into the rebellion, since fighting for the Empire was surely going to get them closer to the rebels. Biggs and Wedge got in and defected, but Luke was younger and by the time he was of age, Uncle Owen fought with him over going in, saying he wanted to keep Luke on for at least one more season. Owen, of course, did not want to hand Luke over to the Emperor, knowing he was Vader's son. Ben Kenobi comes into the picture and Luke gets a front row ticket to rebellion heaven and the story goes on from there.
So, to that nerdy 12 year old who cried about the clones...you suck at Star Wars knowledge. Go back to the Power Rangers and leave the Star Wars saga to those who know.
