A gritty, grown-up Star Wars. I dig it!
"From my point of view, you're a terrible made-for-TV movie!"
"Well, then you are lost."
She is The Law!
Is that a blaster or are you happy to see me?!
Lovely splash, Michael.
I love me some Carlos. The good news is that with Disney doing their best to go bankrupt, Star Wars may soon be sold off by them and the new owners might reconsider one of the many, many, many Disney dreadful decisions.
Great splash! I really enjoyed the Mara Jade character through the original Heir To The Empire Timothy Zahn trilogy and subsequent material like the Dark Horse comics. So far Admiral Thrawn has been brought into "canon" from "legends" but I tend to not lean on either way to categorize Star Wars content myself. There's definately some misinformation and/or misunderstanding from many as that George Lucas never considered every novel and/or comic book that came out before he sold the company part of his official "canon" rather than just offshoot material that existed. Personally to me a good story is a good story, canon or not. The way they have used Thrawn in Animation, live action, comics, and novels in this newer era I have personally enjoyed so far. I think Mara Jade would be tougher to bring in but I guess you never know, since even Disney is doing non canon stories now in animation and books.
Yeah, I assume that if Mara Jade were ever brought back, there'd need to be some deviations from what was established in what is now called "Legends". Maybe give Zahn a crack at it.
That would be cool, Zahn has written like 6 new Thrawn novels in the last 6-8 years, I have not read them all yet though as there's way too many things to catch up on in this new era lol
Yeah, I have all of those Thrawn novels sitting in my "need to read" stack for way too long now. I did read the comic book adaptations that were made of two of them, and they were good.
Do you own splash page of Mara Jade?
I've been away so long
I may go Zahn and lose my way
Do you own splash page of Mara Jade?
I'm going back to find some piece of art of Mara Jade
OA for a great big art day
Put a hundred Thrawn and buy the art
In a week, maybe two, they'll take you to War
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all Dark Horse that never were
At Lucas art and pumping gas
You can still believe in Mara Jade
They've got Carlos in space
There'll be a place where Legends stay
I was born and raised on Mara Jade
I'm going back to find some piece of art of Mara Jade
You're clearly channeling here Burt Bacharach's rage at Disney ignoring the Zahn trilogy.
Beauty! Big congrats!
Poor Mara Jade... lost to the Disney buy out
First Jolli, then Shira, then Mara, will Chelli be next? Why can't we keep the EU ladies around? Canon or not, this is a banger of a splash.
Great use of staging and depth on that splash.
I wanted this one as I also loved the zahn trilogy. Also his thrawn was menacingly cold and calculating. A true villain
Congrats! Awesome Mara Jade piece!
Stunning image of Mara Jade...! As a collector of the WEG RPG's art, I a a believer. We've got Thrawn and Rukh et al., now bring on Mara.
Great page and commentary!
OHH! My squeedilyspooch!
Ezquerra was perfect for all those background aliens, and the expression on Strok's face is suitably haughty. Nice splash.
