Guy Lagacé's
Climactic Battlescenes |
Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's
Climactic
Battlescenes with another of his scenes. This was the fourteenth in the
series for this section. Remember that these images were his vision of scenes
from movies that had not been created. This image was Guy's take on the battle
between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett for Episode II as young Boba looked on from the
cockpit of Slave 1. This whole scene is amazing considering at that time
there was little to no information about Episode II, yet Guy created such a
great piece that was so close to the final movie product. Be sure to also see
other great artists in the Featured Artists
section. Enjoy!

Galaxiki
|
This is not Star Wars, but if you
like space, then you might want to check it out! Galaxiki is a web-based, free
content virtual community project. It consists of a virtual galaxy with over a
million stars and solar systems that can be explored using a 2-dimensional map.
Each star, each planet and each moon represents one wiki page, the idea behind
the project is that Galaxiki site members, also called "Galaxicians", can edit
those pages and write fictional histories about them.
Galaxiki membership, editing solar systems and using all other site features
is free. Galaxiki was launched as a prototype on March 12, the official launch
is planned for Sunday, July 1st 2007. It is already possible to sign up on
www.galaxiki.org, although editing stars, planets and moons will become
operational on July 1st 2007. Special thanks goes to Jos Kirps for letting us
know about this interesting new site. Be sure to visit the Galaxiki website at:
http://www.galaxiki.org. |

Exclusive Shadow
Scout With Speeder Bike |
StarWarsShop.com has
the latest San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. It is the Shadow Scout with Speeder
Bike!
"Shadow scout troopers (a.k.a. storm commandos) are
trained for missions of deep infiltration," reads the full-view window-box
packaging. "They uncover plots hatched by shadows in dark corners, and they dig
up deadly secrets that can be used to make enemies cooperate. Their speeder
bikes are designed for silence and speed, with a trideflective enery shield that
prevents detection."
In addition to the stealthy gray and black duotone deco of both the scout and
bike, the packaging for this piece is very collector friendly -- views from all
four sides and above will temp you to keep it in the box forever. Be sure to go
and get yours today before they are gone! |

Featured Artist
Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers 31 |
Featured Artist Craig Burt has provided us
with a breakdown of one of his paintings that provides us with a look into how
the picture came about.
"Jedi
Councilling"
Here is some of the article created by Craig:
This Jedi Councilling is another of the more stylized
treatments; not as realistic as some.
1. This is the photo that it was
based on and follows it fairly closely. I think it's a photo from a magazine
called The Bulletin that I often read; actually it might be from the Newsweek
supplement from that. From what it says under the photo it's an event where
Palestinians defend al-Aqsa mosque against Israeli riot Police after a rally by
extremist Jews.
Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Jedi
Councilling" in the Painting by
Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this
image came about! Enjoy! |
