Description

I love, love, LOVE how the artist samples the original Ralph McQuarrie designs for Vader here.

It's a Nerd Wish, I know, but I still think that the Vader Armor used in the end of Revenge of the Sith should have been an earlier 'prototype' version of the armor, so even Vader would be seen to have have evolved (yet still been recognizable) between Ep 3 and Ep4. (All the other hardware evolved over the course of the series!) But no, Character Branding demanded he look...exactly the same. >Sigh<

Good point, Andrew, and I agree, but at least you've got an awesome rendition here by CB! Nice negative space use in the background, too. Congrats on a great pick up!
