EPISODE VIII: 'DON'T JOIN!'


He's successfully sold out young Resistance fighters Finn and Rose Tico to the First Order with the failure of their Star Destroyer infiltration, now the enigmatic rogue known as the DJ is preparing to take away and enjoy his excessive loot for his traitorous actions, in a tense scene from The Last Jedi.

We know that the DJ survived the 'Holdo Manuever' attack and fled across the galaxy. Perhaps the character, as played with creepy modern-day significance by Benecio Del Toro, will return for another Star Wars film or Andor-style TV project?

EPISODE II: WHAT NEXT?


The Battle and Super Battle Droid armies have temporarily closed down their conflict against the remaining brave Jedi fighting within the vast Geonosian Death Arena, under the orders of Count Dooku, now fully revealed as the Separatists' clever and dangerous leader. As our heroes count the cost of their intervention against the enemy, what further evil will Dooku unleash?


A classic angle showing the Jedi, and Padme, from EPISODE II.

CLASSIC INDY: FIRE FIGHTING!


Indy's rescue of Marion Ravenwood within her Tibetan-based bar turned inferno soon sees him face off against a dangerous force of Nazi acolytes (including regular stuntman Pat Roach as a brutal Mongolian) intent on murdering him without compunction. Cue breathless action, violence and humour as only a classic Indiana Jones movie like Raiders of the Lost Ark can deliver!

ROGUE ONE: THE OTHER 'RESIDENTS' OF JEDHA!


A teeming city of various alien races and a diversity of droid servants, the religious culture world of Jedha certainly attracts a wide variety of travellers, as seen in this great behind the scenes shot from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

EPISODE II: POLITICALLY CHALLENGED!


Now returned to Naboo, Senator Amidala confers with the new Queen Jamillia about the state of the Republic and a place to hide from potential assassins, much to the chagrin of her Jedi Knight protector Anakin Skywalker, in a memorable moment once more filmed in Italy for Attack of the Clones.

Note the Italian background actor filling in for Oliver Ford Davies as Sio Bibble. Davies would be added to the film in Post Production.

CLASSIC McQUARRIE: LUKE VS RANCOR!


Luke Skywalker has effectively fallen into Jabba the Hutt's creepy hands and now finds himself in the sights of the loathsome crime lord's special 'pet', the Rancor, in this great concept art painting by Ralph McQuarrie for Return of the Jedi, which effectively shows the size of the underground vault housing the ferocious and always hungry beast!

EPISODE III: WAR IN THE HEAVENS!


An army of Republic Cruisers begin their attack on enemy forces, launching waves of fighters and accompanied by a Jedi Starfighter, in this terrific fan artwork linked to the Prequel saga, capturing the epic flavour of intergalactic war that the saga does so well.

If anyone knows the name of the excellent artist here, please get in touch.

CLASSIC ART: CLASHING 'SABERS!


The lightsabers used by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic may have passed into history by the time of the original Star Wars' story showcasing Rebellion vs Empire, but the emergence of Jedi-to-be Luke Skywalker, and his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi's duel with his former pupil Darth Vader, soon make the weapons iconic and a perfect representation of good vs evil for this unused American poster concept art from 1976/77. 

If anyone knows the artist (I assume it's Tom Jung), please get on touch...

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE REBELS' BOLDEST MISSION!

A surprise for Leia from Han...

From far and wide across the galaxy, the many Rebel cells have come together as their leader Mon Mothma unveils the biggest mission undertaking yet by the Alliance, to take out the being-built Death Star II and destroy it's overseer, the dreaded Emperor himself! 

But who will lead the all-important and highly dangerous ground assault to prior knock out the energy shield protecting the battle station? General Leia Organa is about to get an interesting surprise from her beloved Han Solo!

Some nice rare B/W images of this classic scene from Return of the Jedi.





'THE CLONE WARS': DAY OF THE CLONES!



The ultimate force for intergalactic conflict has been assembled on Coruscant, handily created by mystery forces years in advance of the ensuing Separatist crisis now brewing, and right under the very noses of both the Republic and the once all-knowing Jedi Knights. The Clone Wars have indeed begun...

An atmospheric and important moment from The Clone Wars animated series, so well recreated from the end of Episode II.
