'ATTACK' AT 20: THE LOVERS OF NABOO...

Two posed publicity images of the young lovers, especially shot to capture the interest of the Italian SW fan/audience market.

Their secret arrival on Naboo has started off in a tense fashion, but the love that Jedi bodyguard Anakin has for Padme, bordering on obsession, is soon declared to the young senator, whose response to him is at first wary, then enjoying, of the boy's company whilst she is under his keen protection. Soon enough, their building liaison will become dangerous...

George Lucas was thrilled by the on-screen pairing of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman- two beautiful young people being filmed at an equally beautiful and romantic location in Sasson San Martin/Lake Como, Italy during September 2002, heightened further in EPISODE II's post production by some exotic effects work by ILM.

CLASSIC ART: WALKER WARS!

It's the David vs Goliath confrontation of the Star Wars saga, and one of the series greatest battle sequences -a blaze of action and superb stop-motion animation/model filming: The Empire Strikes Back's Battle of Hoth between the fast-moving Rebel Snowspeeder vehicles and the slow-marching, death-bringing Imperial AT-AT Walkers. A conflict nicely captured in this fine art created for the leaflet accompanying the 1980 release of the Kenner-produced Walker large toy action-figures model.
