The Star Wars poster is a great poster for Star Wars. It would be a bad poster for The Godfather.
We are not judging on if a cover can be used for a different book. We are judging the cover on the artwork. That's all that should be done. So your poster analogy is not valid. Also, just because a cover fits the book does not mean it's a good cover when viewed standalone.
