On August 31st, Techland posted an interview with Star Wars artist Catt Staggs. Talking about her inspiration behind the CV recruiter style prints, Catt said, "I am a big fan of WWII poster campaigns from around the world. The illustrations pack such a punch, hitting every emotion. I love the way those posters give you a full story from one painting. It is not easy to pull that off. I do my best and hopefully people appreciate them."

For CV Catt mentions, "I went back to the theme and created “To Hoth and Back” featuring the Snowtroopers during the invasion of Echo Base. Using phrases like “See Action Now” and “Do You Have What It Takes?” trying to paint the Imperial army as the place to be if you want to be the best."
