Star Wars Picture Thread - “Things you will see. Other places. The future…the past. Old friends long gone.”

[Cyril Sneer]

Apologies if this violates any board rules that I'm not aware of, but a recent post in the Star Wars Griefing Thread got me thinking that, with all of the shit going down because of Disney, Iger, Kennedy, Filoni and so forth, maybe it would be good to have a dedicated space to commemorate the good times in visual form.

I'll start with a few of my old favorites from years past.

Luke v. Yuuzhan Vong by AdamWithers

A light against the darkness. 'Nuff said.

Star Warsy by ex-m

Your basic New Republic crew: Tycho and Winter Celchu, Artoo and Threepio, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando, Talon Karrde, Shada D'ukal, Mara Jade and Zakarisz Ghent.

Jaina and Jag by rurouni-jedi

Conceiving a new Empire

"EU Sketch Cards" by surfersquid

(Left-Right, Top-Bottom: Vuffi Raa - from That One Lando Calrissian Trilogy No One's Ever Read; Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph - from the Knights of the Old Republic comics; Vilmarh "Villie" Grahrk - from the Republic comics; Siri Tachi - from the Obi-Wan young readers novels; Valenthyne Farfalla - from the Sith War comics; Tag Greenly and Bink Otauna - from Tag and Bink Are Dead; T'ra Saa - from the Republic comics and Legacy; Odan-Urr - from Tales of the Jedi; Streen - from the Jedi Academy trilogy; Fenn Shysa - from the old Marvel comics, Republic Commando and Matthew Stover's Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor)

Nimbus Commandos by jasonjuta

Indigenous special operations soldiers from the perpetually rain-drenched, Separatist-leaning planet Jabiim. They gave the Republic's forces, Jedi and Clone alike, no end of trouble for a long time in the Republic comics.

Lumiya by KellyYates

The Dark Lady in all her evil glamour.

TK Through the Ages by rurouni-jedi

Tenel Ka, Witch of Dathomir, Jedi Knight, Queen-Mother of Hapes, lover of Darth Caedus, from adolescence to maturity

Our World Doesn't Have Happy Endings by krad-elav

This is The Way

Admiral Firmus by darefi

Kenneth Colley has a very characterful face.

Luke Skywalker by Gutz

Do not fuck with this man. That is all.

The Bounty Hunters by Arionindito

If Hal Needham directed a Star Wars movie

"Assault" by Darkmadder55

The Vong are a little on the stylized side here, but I love the kineticism of this piece, the NJO setting, and the depiction of Mandalorian "battle sync."

 

[Tootsie Bear]

When I was growing up the only Star Wars movie I seen was the Phantom Menace. The movie itself was okay but what I always cherished about Star Wars was both the music and artwork by artists like Ralph McQuarrie and the Brothers Hildebrandt. Their artwork fuels my imagination more than what the Original and Prequel trilogies could ever do.

 

[Sam Losco]

I just happen to have a bit of Star Wars alt-art sitting on my NAS. Don't ask where I got any, I don't know. You'll have to reverse image search it to try and find a source.

Nice! I've always been in awe of the Hildebrandts and their ability to illuminate their works, as though the paintings themselves have sunbeams shining at them or through them... ❤

" We can't stay here! This is probe-droid country!" LOL

Groovy selection. I love all of the Boba Fett pieces, of course, but that one of the AT-AT driver holding the lit flare on top of his wrecked machine is especially evocative, for some reason. I guess it makes the "war" in Star Wars feel that much more real?

-snip-

Gotta love those propaganda/tourism posters.

Here's a few more with no particular unifying theme, other than being EU-related:

Dash Rendar by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt

A little more of that Hildenbrandt awesomeness featuring everyone's favorite Ham Solo stand-in.

Jade by caesar120

As you might be able to guess, this one was originally done for the old West End Games Thrawn campaign, and depicts Mara Jade's confrontation with Luke Skyalker's Dark Side clone (interestingly, the first few illustrations of Mara usually depicted her wearing a sort of formless camouflage jumpsuit, prior to the Dark Horse adaptation of Heir to the Empire popularizing the black, sleeveless catsuit look).

Gav and Jori Daragon by anakantus

The ancient, pioneering hyperspace explorer siblings from Tales of the Jedi, inadvertently responsible for bringing the Jedi and Sith back into contact with each other after millennia of mutual isolation.

Skywalker Fam by ladypep

Luke, Mara and Ben (the real one).

Twi'lek Family by artbytraviss

Continuing the domestic theme.

Star Wars: Rebellion #3 cover art by Michael Lacombe

And now for something completely different: Luke Skywalker and Deen Shan in nifty Rebel Alliance infiltrator armor.

Mara Jade by edawoocya

A more conventional take on the character's wardrobe

First Date by artbytraviss

Pro-tip: don't ignore the waiter...

Shado Vao by ex-m

Heroic Twi'lek Jedi Knight of the Legacy era, childhood friend of Cade Skywalker and possibly a distant descendant of Mission Vao from Knights of the Old Republic.

Ace of The Empire by Callista1981

Soontir Fel: Son of Corellia, Baron of the Empire, Ace of Aces, Friend of the Chiss, Father of Emperors.

I'm just going to post the single image that proves the sequal trilogy we COULD have had - and how bad the one we got sucked. (and this image is getting harder and harder to find - I seem to keep losing the original)

I know it's gizmodo, but they do have a few good ones here like...

I don't have a picture at the moment, but wanted to comment on the Yuuzhan Vong art - A lot of people hated that arc but I loved it. Way better than the current, unoriginal, Empire v Rebels rehash we got with the sequels.

I never thought it was such a bad little story arc. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

I said it on the SW thread before and I'll say it again here: The Yuuzhan Vong were the right idea, it just tripped in the execution.

If Disney had been smart, they would have taken that idea and figured out how to make it work for their sequel trilogy. Because sure, a completely new, never before seen foe attacking once the previous leaders are past their prime - it would make total sense for them to then work to raise up a new generation of heroes to fight.

The Rakatans were the Yuuzhan Vong done right. A species that's far advanced compared to the rest of the galaxy, with such barbaric practices that they put decent men to shame. Too bad they died out before the Republic even began. But maybe, if some small remnant of their empire remained with all its tech, and they're all dormant, waiting to be awakened, they can be a threat to the galaxy once more. These guys make the Sith look positively decent by comparison, and their technology makes even the Mandalorians look like primitive cavemen. They'll do just fine as a villain in a future series, or perhaps if they finished that comic series that took place during the Rakatan Empire's reign of terror.

 

[Parallel Moon]

This will forever be my favorite Star Wars image. I don't care what Lucas says or anyone else. Luke x Mara was awesome. That Disney crap will never hold a candle to the old EU.

I'm amazed that we haven't seen a remake of the Star Forge in a movie yet, I was 99% sure that was where they were going in Disney Wars (explaining how the First Order pulled a huge fleet out of nowhere) but nope just a bigger Death Star, and then more Death Stars.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They could have placed a Rakatan Warlord who was brought out of stasis after the Infinite Empire fell as the Supreme Leader of the First Order. It would explain A) where these new ships and that superweapon came from, and B) how the First Order managed to pull all this shit out of their ass despite owning a backwater section of space. But no, apparently you can build massive planetary weapons even after losing most of your empire. If that was the case, Palpatine could have made a dozen Death Stars, not just two, since he owned the whole fucking galaxy.

None of this crap made any sense.

X-Wings were originally meant for the Empire, weren't they? Some defectors from Incom gave the schematics to the Rebels.
