THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: THE SWEET TASTE OF 'VICTORY'!


With such an army at their disposal, it wasn't going to be a long, hard battle for the Trade Federation in winning control of the peaceful world of Naboo- the spoils of war are theirs, for the time being, in this great production painting by Doug Chiang, showcasing the elite Neimoidian leaders.

Intriguingly, this art shows the original facial designs for the Neimoidians that were not used in EPISODE I- for practical filming reasons, and instead applied to EPISODE II's CGI-created flying pests on Geonosis. The idea of the Battle Droids reflecting their masters visages was held over for that film. too.
