Description

Bradshaw meticulously laid out every intricate element of the lush swamp environment, creating a fantastical, but also a perilous setting for Luke’s journey into the cave. His rendering of Luke casting a reflection of Darth Vader on the pond is reminiscent of the ominous foreshadowing in The Phantom Menace teaser poster where the little boy Anakin casts Vader’s shadow behind him.

Luke: I feel death, cold.

Yoda: That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.

Luke: What's in there?

Yoda: Only what you take with you.

Mr. Bradshaw stages a stunning amount of detail to set the scene and capture the feel of the moment. Superb.

Man, such great lines.  TESB undoubtly has most of the great lines out of all the SW films.

His definitive take on the scene is done and now off the board.  I don't think Bradshaw will revisit this scene ever as it says everything needed and more.  There is more added here than any special edition they can come up with.

Yeah, I also think Bradshaw gave his all with this particular scene and it'd be hard to top it if he tried again.

I agree!  I can picture him having a great time drawing all the little details of the foliage :)

Truly outstanding!  I remember loving this when seeing it somewhere back in the day and it's great to see it here on CAF.  Love the scene, mood, details...this one's definitely got it all.  Worthy add to the SW collection - congrats!
