CLASSIC ART: THIRTY YEARS AND BEYOND...


The heroism and villainy of our favourite Classic Trilogy icons continues to resonate, in this fine artwork from Felipe Massafera, done for the film's 2007 Thirtieth Anniversary.

Continuing to frustrate the worldwide fan community, apart from the knowledge that the trusty space faring vessel the Millennium Falcon is returning somewhere down the line (either in EPISODE VI or a spin-off movie), as deliberately revealed via a recent conceptual painting on the revised LUCASFILM website, there has still been no official confirmation of the return of our main hero stars- Hamill, Fisher and Ford. With the disappointing rumours that a new Princess Leia was apparently being searched for by casting directors in London this week, the omens aren't looking good...

Message to LUCASFILM: analyse the Internet vibe. This is getting a very annoying situation now for worldwide fans. If they're in it, what's the problem in telling us, especially as we're so near principal photography? If they're not going to be in it, or are indeed being replaced with different actors (a la J.J. Abrams recent TREKs), get the news out of the way so we can adjust to it sooner rather than later...
