This is weird to say, and I’ve not had much time to even think about it, but this countdown, which I started on Twitter on November 7, 2013, is almost over. Once I finish these last 11 posts leading up to the release of The Rise of Skywalker, I will no longer be posting on any regular or consistent basis. 

It’s been terribly fun, and though there were a couple lapses due to travel and a few other obligations along the way, I’ve tried to keep it up the best I can, posting nearly every day, featuring hundreds and hundreds of incredibly talented artists and getting to see some of them rise from relative obscurity to some pretty spectacular acclaim. 

I had thought about trying to monetize this, and there are certainly ways to capitalize on a platform featuring awesome fan art, but in the end, I’m just a huge fan of Star Wars and in a way, this was a chance to connect with tens of thousands of you fellow fans and that’s been pretty awesome.

So, for my final non-TROS related post of the countdown, with 11 days to go, I wanted to feature this awesome work by a favorite of the countdown, @hydro74-blog. I first featured Josh’s work, a Darth Maul piece, on April 14th, 2014, with 613 days until an as-yet-unnamed Episode VII and then featured his work many times since. 

I really dig this Mando artwork and the show is totally awesome, so it felt like a fitting piece to feature and Hydro74 killed it! Hat’s off to you, sir, thanks for doing what you do!

ELEVEN

DAYS

THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
