Style name?

Does this style (the black and white use not the Star Wars) have a more common name?

Yes it is called Banksy rip off..

The correct term is high contrast or Kodalith...

Cheers

If it was done in pencil, ink or an illustration program, that would be line art or lithography. In old school photography, which this is meant to replicate, it would have been done with an ultra high contrast film called Kodalith. For your purposes, call it a lithograph.

...or Banksy ripped off Andy Warhol (remember the Che Guevara and Marylin Monroe pop art posters?)

To get this effect in Photoshop ...

Start with a Grayscale file, then go to: Image > Mode > Bitmap. In the Bitmap dialog box choose Method > 50% Threshold.

Or

Start with a color or Grayscale file and go to: Image > Adjustments > Threshold.
