DescriptionStar Wars: Empire issue 25 came out in 2004. That was right in my heyday of being a con exhibitor and attending the first four Star Wars Celebrations. Most of these events I was assisting an assortment of Star Wars artist friends, including my longtime pile Joe. From this issue’s release until around 2009 I picked up a number of pages from Joe, and also from issue 31 released a year later. I’ll never have the complete issue 25, as George Lucas bought the last two pages of the story. George also bought the cover to issue 31. Darn that first right of refusal clause! But, I’m still adding pages occasionally when I find them. This page was picked up at SDCC 2024, after Joe found a handful of issue 25 pages during a move.Publisher’s summary - The Beast and the Beauty join forces when Chewbacca teams up with smuggler Sheel Odala to free Han Solo from the clutches of a crime lord in the employ of the Empire. Odala is handy with a blaster, and an old friend. But there are some trust issues. See, she's the one who betrayed Han to the Empire in the first place. Oh, and did we mention that Vader was on his way? This issue was colored directly over scans of Joe’s pencils, as can be seen in the additional images. Also included is a scan of Joe’s layouts for the page, done in pencil and marker on a sheet of 11x17 copier paper. Social/Sharing |

nice Han centric page!! I like how he does the likeness but doesn't make it an exact photo reference style copy of Harrison.

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Joe was changin' the minds of The Empire
While chasin' the art today
Our art was ringin'
In the key that Solo's were singin'
As we danced in the lines for Choba
How the stars stole the knight this page, oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you Darth Vader?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, captor Han's a claimy page
Ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da

Makes you want to visit an artist's home just to make sure they don't have art you're hoping to buy.

Always offer to check closets and under the bed!

I have to admit, I feel you bro. I don't even collect Star Wars art and even I've always hated that Lucas has a first right of refusal clause, especially since he must have so much already and likely has never looked at any of it!
