AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: UNLEASHING THE ION CANNON!

The Rebels of Hoth unleash their big gun- the Ion Cannon- skyward at the nearest blockading Imperial Star Destroyer, in this great production painting art from Ralph McQuarrie that was well translated to film by ILM, via model and matte work combination.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STAR WARS AFICIONADO!

Written and conceived by Scott Weller, this is the website to the popular UK STAR WARS fan magazine STAR WARS AFICIONADO. The aim of this blog is to educate, enlighten and, hopefully, entertain STAR WARS fans of all ages across the world. Basically, to have fun and enjoy all six of George Lucas's classic movies, the three sequel adventures linked to the Skywalker family (2015 to 2019) and the two spin-off anthology films ROGUE ONE and SOLO. Plus animated TV series spin-off THE CLONE WARS (and STAR WARS REBELS). AFICIONADO celebrates the actual films NOT the modern merchandise overkill!

From time to time, this site will also cover other classic LUCASFILM related movies and TV series, like the INDIANA JONES saga (I to IV), WILLOW, THX-1138, AMERICAN GRAFFITI and RED TAILS.

The original fourteen issue run of STAR WARS AFICIONADO was non-profit making. The site, and former magazine, are NOT affiliated with/to LUCASFILM in any way. All images that appear on this site, unless previously specified, belong to LUCASFILM and its affiliates. Unless stated and credited to an outside source, all opinions expressed on this blog belong to the Editor and do not necessarily reflect the views of STAR WARS fandom in general.

Thank you, George Lucas, for creating such a wonderful, inspiring and evergreen universe!
