'OBI-WAN KENOBI': ALDERAAN BECOMES REALITY!


One of the joys of the Obi-Wan Kenobi mini-series of 2022 was seeing more of the young Princess Leia Organa's life (as delightfully played by Vivian Lyra Blair) on her adopted home world of Alderaan (beyond the small enticing visuals we saw at the end of Episode III) and its society, sequences well captured in these two great behind the scenes images from the opening episodes.


The ILM Stagecraft technique proves impressive.

EPISODE VIII: FATHIER FAMILIARITY!


Having escaped the rotten core that is the Canto Bight casino realm, Rose Tico gets a memorable goodbye and thank you from one of the liberated Fathier creatures, a moment clearly enjoyed by Kelly Marie Tran too, during a fun day's filming for The Last Jedi

CLASSIC ART: THE WEEKLY ADVENTURES CONTINUE...


Our heroes assemble for the climactic action/adventure chapter of the Original Trilogy, as the dominant evil of Darth Vader looms large, in this lovely art I hadn't previously seen before that graced one of the later issues of the MARVEL UK's Return of the Jedi weekly comic back in May 1985, before the saga went fully into limbo. If anyone knows the artist/s of the piece, please let me know, though I suspect Tom Palmer's work on the faces of Lando and Chewbacca.

And does anyone out there still have the free Ewok transfers?

CLASSIC ART: VALORUM MEETS THE COUNCIL!


With the trade routes dispute escalating into chaos throughout the Republic, the harried yet benevolent Supreme Chancellor Valorum liaises with the senior members of the Jedi Council about the expanding crisis, and to get advice, especially with the soon shocking news that a blockade has now been activated by the greedy Trade Federation against the peaceful world of Naboo.  

Terrific art by Chris Trevas showcasing the unseen lead-up to EPISODE I
