#star wars poster
Today is the day. A day that will be long remembered. The conclusion of the Skywalker saga. 40+ years in the making. Nothing short of profound!
For me, I’m a bit sad to be retiring the countdown… at least for awhile. Though, I’m equally excited to have the weight lifted of having to ensure I post as close to once daily as possible, which at times has been incredibly difficult to keep up.
However, the reward for me was not only getting to curate some of the most incredible Star Wars artwork into one jaw-dropping collection, but also getting to discover so many amazing artists, and even getting to meet some of them over the years. I was able to watch artists grow out of obscurity into full time working artists and some have now been tasked with creating official Star Wars artwork, which puts the biggest damn smile on my face!
So, 2,234 days after starting this journey on November 7, 2013, the day they announced the release date of the as-yet-unnamed Episode VII, I leave you with a few more posts. This artwork, an absolutely beautiful poster, is by Hugh Fleming.
And with that, I hope you all enjoy the movie and I look forward to whatever comes next!
May the force be with you… always.

Heir to the Empire; an alternate universe poster! The 90′s saw the Star Wars saga continue with Star Wars Episode VII: Heir to the Empire!
In an alternate universe… it is 1989. George Lucas is motivated to return to Star Wars. Shortly after wrapping Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lucas successfully convinces Stephen Spielberg to direct the 7th episode of the Star Wars saga, instead of a Peter Pan movie which was beginning to stall due to creative differences amongst the creatives and studio. Many of the producers and crew would follow Spielberg over to the Star Wars production. George Lucas would work with Timothy Zahn to write both the screenplay AND novelizations of the planned trilogy.
With much of the original cast expected to return, three new characters were also being cast. Lucas and Spielberg turned to Alison Doody who played double agent Elsa Schneider in the third Indy movie, to play the deadly assassin Mara Jade. As the mad Jedi Joruus C'baoth, Toshiro Mifune would make his debut in the galaxy far, far away. A hero to George Lucas- it was rumored that Mifune had turned down the role of Obi-wan Kenobi in the 1977 original. The casting of the film’s new villain was key. This was the figure that would be immediately compared to the likes of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Revered, 33-year-old, British actor Daniel Day Lewis agreed to play the brilliant, blue skinned Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn after extended discussions with Spielberg.
