'THE CLONE WARS': SECOND HAND GOODS!

Captured by the gross alien junk dealer Gha Nachkt (excellently voiced by genre favourite Ron Perlman), Artoo Detoo is now on his way to the dreaded clutches of General Grievous, intent on retrieving his sectrets of the Republic Army and the Jedi, during the fun and highly under-rated two-parter from The Clone Wars excellent opening season: Downfall of a Droid/ Duel of the Droids.

WHEN DARK FORCES ALIGN! CELEBRATING THIRTY YEARS OF 'SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE'

As if the hunt for the intimidating bounty hunter Boba Fett and his unique prize being delivered to Jabba the Hutt - the carbon frozen Han Solo, isn't already a formidable and dangerous task, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker will soon be in the target sights and evil machinations of the evil Black Sun crime lord Prince Xizor, as the drama and action of the multi-media adventure without a film, Shadows of the Empire, is captured effectively with this great cover to a 1996 Dark Horse mini-comic edition. If anyone knows the cover artist, please get in touch...

If ever a beloved franchise project still demands an animated movie adaptation of some kind, this one does, especially with it now reaching its amazing Thirtieth Anniversary this year!

EPISODE IX: ESCAPING THE FESTIVE SEASON!

Shooting in the famous Wadi Rum region of Morocco, where the mighty Lawrence of Arabia movie was filmed, Rey and the other Resistance heroes prior enjoyment of the Pasaana life ceremonies comes to an end as they partake in a critical escape scene, during filming of The Rise of Skywalker in 2018. 

EPISODE III: "WHY LEAVE?"

The epic double lightsaber duel begins during the epic finale to Episode III, not just on the fiery Mustafar, between Anakin and Obi-Wan, but also between Master Yoda and the dreaded Emperor, at first trying to retreat from the little green whirlwind, within the bowels of the senate chambers of Coruscant. 

Duels that will end in failure, sorrow and anger...

CLASSIC IMAGE: PRISONER AND ESCORT!

Breaking through Jabba's palace enforcers on Tatooine, the mysterious bounty hunter Boushh arrives at court with his captured prey, the mighty Chewbacca. But how was this possible? And what surprise lays in store for the Hutt slug?

A great atmospheric image from Return of the Jedi. 

CLASSIC INDY: NIGHT-TIME SCARES!

The jungle at night can be a weird and dangerous place, as out of place showgirl and musician Willie Scott soon discovers in a fun comedy sequence for Kate Capshaw and her fellow Indiana Jones stars, before the darkness of Mola Ram emerges, from 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. 

'ANDOR': INTRODUCING THE NEW 'BAIL'!

It was great that the second season of the acclaimed Andor brought back such an important character from the Prequel Trilogy as Princess Leia Organa's adopted father of Bail Organa of Alderaan, becoming a welcome part (again) of the saga's dramatic political storytelling aspects. If the character hadn't been seen linked to the critical senatorial scenes, and Mon Mothma, in the events leading up to the dissolution of the Republic Senate by the Emperor, then it would have been a real waste. Jimmy Smits may sadly not have been available to reprise his role due to scheduling conflicts - to me he was perfect casting back in the day - but Hollywood film and TV veteran Benjamin Bratt nonetheless proved a fine successor to the role, bringing an extra layer of realism and toughness to a role caught in disturbing, dark times.

EPISODE VIII: THE END FOR BEN SOLO?

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has identified a terrifying new Dark Side threat to the order, and its from none other than his own sister's child; the powerful but vulnerable Ben Solo, who is almost, momentarily, eradicated by his Uncle's lightsaber within their own temple residence. The fearful Solo soon retaliates with all his power against Luke, in a scene of danger and drama from The Last Jedi. 

DELETED SCENE: FIND THAT SHIP!

On the bridge of Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer, a group of Imperials of varying ranks, having watched the demise of Captain Needa, now find themselves under the Dark Lord's brutal scrutiny, before being discharged to continue searching for the escaped Millennium Falcon. A deleted scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Amongst the background players are British extras Trevor Butterfield and Tom Flood.

EPISODE II: RETURNING HOME...

The notorious bounty hunter Jango Fett returns to his unique home facility with the clones of Kamino, his ongoing, highly paid services to them, and to the mysterious Darth Tyranus, having now endured for over ten years. His legacy work dedicated to evil and power will soon shatter a galaxy during the events of Episode II.

More terrific concept work by the ever-talented Doug Chiang.
