Disney is again in the hot seat regarding Star Wars.
This time itās not about Star Wars: The Last JediĀ or Episode IX, but about poster art for the Han Solo movie.
A French artist is claiming that Disney stole his ideas for poster art for the four new Han Solo character posters.
Hachim BahousĀ posted on Facebook a side-by-side comparison of his art from 2015 next to the new Han Solo posters, where the posters do look pretty similar.
Hachim BahousĀ posted on Facebook accusing Disney of forgery (translated via Facebook):
Left the official posters of the next Star Wars (Disney), right the compiles for which I made the creation in 2015 forĀ Sony Music FranceĀ /Ā Legacy Recordings FranceĀ following the brief of the project leaderĀ Romain āRpizā Pizon.
I am flattered that the quality of my work is recognized, but it is still pure and simple forgery, I have not been asked for my permission, I wish to be credited and paid for this work I have done for Sony!
A thought for everyone who worked hard on this very beautiful project:Ā Dj Reverend PĀ (Patrice Larrar),Ā Richard Lecocq,Ā AurĆ©lien Orel,Ā David Hachour,Ā Yazid ManouĀ andĀ Yazid ManouĀ SoĀ Romain āRpizā Pizon.
