NOW LAUNCHED AND ONLINE: STAR WARS AFICIONADO ARCHIVES - 'REVENGE OF THE JEDI'

With the recent wonderful find of what could be the very first trailer for REVENGE OF THE JEDI, STAR WARS AFICIONADO has decided to launch a spin-off site dedicated to the original version of EPISODE VI: part of a new idea called the STAR WARS AFICIONADO ARCHIVE.

Check it out: STAR WARS AFICIONADO ARCHIVE - 'REVENGE OF THE JEDI'

Unused poster concept art by Lawrence Noble.

Look out for regular updates/new material on the site as the months go by. The intention is to do something a little different to what's being done here. I hope you all like it.

With special thanks to Chris Baker for all his splendid continuing design work for STAR WARS AFICIONADO.

HAPPY 'STAR WARS DAY' 2016!

What better way to celebrate today's very special May the Fourth event than with Lawrence Noble's superb rendering of the classic Ralph McQuarrie 1977 poster concept art for the original STAR WARS, that debuted and sold exclusively (2000 copies only) at the so far one and only STAR WARS CELEBRATION JAPAN event from 2008, of which this beautiful image also celebrated the franchise-launching film's landmark 30th Anniversary in that unique and appreciative territory.

For me personally, its the films and their magic, and not the vast amount of merchandise, that ultimately count!

Conitnuing his brilliant charity work, Mark Hamill guest edits THE SUN NEWSPAPER:
To all Sun readers and Star Wars fans...

And let's not forget the celebrations linked to the new sequels. Over to you, Miss Ridley: Star Wars: Force for Change - Happy Star Wars Day from Daisy Ridley - YouTube

STAR WARS AFICIONADO wishes fans and readers worldwide a HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!

CLASSIC ART: DARTH VADER STRIKES BACK!

Here's a revised commercial art version of Lawrence Noble's great work for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, of which a prior version had been originally considered as a theatrical release poster for the 1980 cinema engagements, and then finally put out as an official poster for EMPIRE's Tenth Anniversary in 1990. This new art version has substantially changed imagery at the bottom of it, including Rebel Snowspeeders and Imperial Walkers.

If you're in the UK, celebrate Darth Vader's epic return to fight the Rebels by catching the HD screening of the much beloved film this Saturday afternoon on ITV1.
