Icons of the fictional planet Naboo are used to create the likeness of "Star Wars" character Queen Amidala. The character was first featured in the film "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace." The film is one of three that chronicled the earlier years of the fictional galaxy. It was widely panned by critics and diehard fans of the earlier films.

Individual storm troopers — the Imperial pawns of the "Star Wars" series — come together to create a single storm trooper. The image creates a commentary on the hive-minded, collective nature of the character in the "Star Wars" series. The poster was created by ad agency Bleublancrouge to promote the museum exhibit "Star Wars: Identities."
