Disney's 'Solo' posters look just like this French designer's work
We're already nervous about Solo: A Star Wars Story, and that's only getting worse now that it looks like Disney may have plagiarized a French artist for the posters.
The super-swaggy character posters for Solocame out in February along with the trailer, giving the Star Wars prequel a quaint pop art vibe. They also happen to be almost identical to a series of album covers designed in 2015 by Hachim Bahous, who shared the similarities on Facebook.
SEE ALSO:Harrison Ford was quietly advising on 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'Credit: facebook"I am flattered that the quality of my work is recognized, but it is still pure and simple forgery," Bahous wrote (translated from French). "I have not been asked for my permission, I wish to be credited and paid for this work I have done for Sony!"
He went on to tag several other artists who collaborated on the project, a series of compilations released by Sony.

This doesn't reflect well on Disney, which could have hired anywhere from one to 1,000 artists to create posters for Solo. Coincidences happen – art experiences cycles and trends that can popularize similar aesthetics at the same time – but these pieces are way too similar for it to be random. Graphic designer Adam Levermore (quoted above) points out that it's entirely possible Disney approached Sony for this design and that neither company notified Bahous – nor would they necessarily be required to.
With Solostill over two months away, will Disney pull the posters? Will the company formally – or privately – address Bahous, or will the Soloteam hope this blows over? Mashable reached out to Disney for comment.
Solohits theaters May 25.
