Star Wars: Frames
If you're a true Star Wars fan, you can probably close your eyes and picture some of the series' most iconic moments: Han Solo as he's lowered into the carbon freezing chamber, or the bittersweet look of redemption on the face of Anakin Skywalker as Luke removes his mask. Star Wars: Frames ($3,000) is a high-end celebration of 1,416 moments like these, hand-picked by George Lucas from over one million frames of film, and reproduced across six hardcover, leather-bound volumes — one for each film — measuring 11" x 22" each. Limited to just 1,138 copies, each set arrives in a handsome wood-inlaid box, with embossed medallions of Yoda and Vader on either side, and comes with a portfolio case with a bookplate signed by George Lucas himself.

My Mom bought this for my birthday back in 1995.
The one I have is numbered 6/500 (LOW NUMBER!!!)

Good call. I'm sure I would have headed that way anyway.

On another note, can we stop with the "AT-AT's as dogs" theme? This is a nice piece, but this has been going on for years now.

There is very little SW art in the database, I added a few, is it kosher to add prints from celebration and Acme or is there some rule about what types of art are acceptable to add. I don't want to clog the works with unwanted art. But stuff from McHaley and others deserves to be recognized.

I noticed the same thing and asked the mods/admins. They said there's no restriction and welcome the additions. Yamar told me that it may take a bit of time for the pieces to get approved/added... just due to the amoutn of submissions they get etc.

I think artists will be putting out Star Wars related art for years to come. My son is obsessed with the new Clone Wars animation which I must say it is amazing.
In it's own right it is deeper, darker and better written that any of the prequels.
I just stumbled upon this cubist take on Darth Vader...

I think my Che-bacca print for Brlsq a few years back was more clever, but I'm biased. It was either before the Che trooper by urban medium or I was not aware of it at the time, can't remember which.

I have three of them on three kinds of paper because I am AWESOME.

Yeah, your print was before the Che scultpure/toy stuff, before the Che-Trooper thing, and before this general "let's slap movie fudge into every medium we can" fad.
