# Minimalist Lightsaber Posters Cameron Baxter Denotes Original Star Wars Trilogy with Jedi Weapons By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-29 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameron-baxter References: [heyoscarwilde.tumblr](http://heyoscarwilde.tumblr.com/post/14813066083/hokey-religions-and-ancient-weapons-are-no-match#notes) & [cameronbaxter](http://cameronbaxter.com/CAMERON_BAXTER_PHOTOGRAPHY/Home_1.html) One of the most memorable aspects of the [Star Wars franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-x-star-wars) is the lightsaber, which is why Cameron Baxter has chosen the Jedi weapon as the main graphic in these [minimalist Star Wars movie posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbuilt-star-wars-logo). Representing Episodes IV, V and VI, each poster features a silhouette of the sword-like death dealer amidst rectangular swatches of blue, green and orange paint. It's pretty neat that Baxter used three different [lightsaber designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-soldier-saber) in the creation of these movie promos. They most likely represent Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's weapons, who were the only lightsaber users in the original trilogy. Cameron Baxter is a professional photographer who occasionally delves into the world of art and graphics. He's based in the UK and primarily makes his living off of wedding photography. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Movie Posters:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create minimalist movie posters for other popular franchises. - **Nostalgic Graphic Designs:** Opportunity to create graphic designs that evoke nostalgia and resonate with fans of classic movies. - **Silhouette Artwork:** Opportunity to explore silhouette-based artwork that simplifies complex subjects into recognizable shapes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create and sell custom graphic prints and posters. - **Movie Merchandise:** Opportunity for movie production companies and merchandise manufacturers to create and sell minimalist posters and artwork related to popular films. - **Event Photography:** Opportunity for event photographers to offer additional artistic services such as creating custom-made minimalist posters for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LED-Powered Laser Swords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-series-obiwan-kenobi-force-fx-elite-lightsaber.md) - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [Sci Fi-Inspired Desk Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Motion-Activated Sci-Fi Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-2.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Custom Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucasfilm.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md)
