New (Gun-less) Character Posters for SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

In lieu of further plagiarism accusations (*The posters supposedly ripped-off a French-designers work for a series of 2015 compilation CD albums), a new line-up of character posters for Brazil, for SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY has been unleashed, utilising the previous imagery of "Han Solo" (Alden Ehrenreich), "Chewbacca", "Lando" (Donald Glover) and "Qi'ra" (Emilia Clarke) - seen within the text, but in this round, all images of "guns" had been removed (see comparison in poster images featured below).


COMPARISON PICS BELOW:
(Left: early Posters WITH GUNS / Right: Current posters WITHOUT GUNS)




The absence of the guns are seemingly timely and were no doubt perhaps in response to the recent school shootings in the U.S.A. (?), and a perhaps (what I personally felt was) a general worldwide negative sentiment / reaction ("current" or otherwise) to "glamourising guns", even if it meant fictional "space-blasters" - seeming ready to "shoot with a smile", Wookies included :p

EDITED: Twitter user @velvetgeek gives us a wwwheadsup about screenrant.com's report that these posters are "specific to Brazil" (a country whose "had its own recent national debate over firearms") and because "Brazil is trying to push a more family-friendly image for Solo (or “Han Solo” as it’s marketed there) in that region. The posters aren’t distributed in the US, and the change has nothing to do with the gun issues in the US."

ADDED: So much drama over "space guns", it seems ... although another part of me that used to collect movie posters ("casually", but not as a "professional hobbyist" from another lifetime ago...) would be wondering if the value of the posters would be worth tracking it down? LOL ... Colour me "shallow" as I'd rather be "entertained" these days than be more invested in delving into the machinery and concepts behind making films+money :p
