I'm visiting Padme's lake retreat!
I'm on vacation in Italy, near lake Como

I'm currently on vacation in Italy, where I'll be visiting -among other things- lake Como and Villa Balbianello, where George Lucas filmed some Episode II scenes in September last year.

You'll have to miss my updates for about two weeks, but to make it up to you, I've posted a selection of the pictures you've been sending me over the last couple of weeks; you can see them further down this page. Great artwork!! My RSI is far from over, and I can only work short periods of time, so keep sending me your pictures. Or better: send them to me as soon as I'm back: in that way, my mailbox won't get blocked because it's full.

I've also made a new picture myself: the one you see above, which shows Anakin and Padme talking while overlooking the lake. It's actually my first image since I've been struck with RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). So I'm making a bit of progress :)

I'll see you in two weeks!

Jango vs. Obi-Wan
A picture by Luke

This picture was made by Luke from Australia (I've posted another of his pictures earlier). Here's what he writes:

"All the pictures you've been posting are great, and inspired to whip up a couple of my own yesterday. I used Photoshop to create them, and hope that at least one of them is good enough for you to post."

The confrontation with Tyranus
A picture by Adam Lenhardt

This picture was made by Adam Lenhardt. Here's what he writes:

"Perhaps this relates more to Episode III... I dunno. I believe that we'll a confrontation with Tyranus at some point, probably on Coruscant before Obi-Wan and Anakin part ways. This is a representation of that. I know at some point, these two are going to have their blades ignited simultaniously, and I wanted to see how that would look. This is the result."

Obi-Wan climbing aboard his fighter
A picture by James McFadden

James McFadden sent me this cool picture.

"I've been visiting your site since we all saw that first blurry photo of Liam Neeson fighting some guy in a cloak in Tunisia. I figured it was about time I sent my own VE picture. Here's Obi-Wan climbing aboard his fighter on his way to Kamino, as Mace Windu looks on. Before or after their conversation. The source picture is a video capture from the latest Ep. II behind the scenes video by way of TheForce.net. Let me know what you think!"

"Stay Focused!"
A picture by DarthMIchael

This picture was made by DarthMIchael. Here's what he writes:

"Here's a pic from Anakin and Obi's escape from the Geonosis Arena! As their making their way out, Anakin suddenly turns back, "I have to go back and help Padme!" Obi-Wan is quick to set his apprentice straight, "Stay focused on the mission at hand. You are my Padawan, and you must do as I say." Anakin contemplates following his master or his emotions"

Coruscant at dawn
A picture by Ryan Farnes

This picture was made by Ryan Farnes. Here's what he writes:

"Roderick, This one isn't very original and its based on my very first picture of Senator Amidala's ship arriving at Coruscant. I used the new "flying wing" design from theforce.net and made it look like it was dawn on Coruscant. Anyway, hope you enjoy! Get better soon!"

A landing platform on Kamino
Another cool picture by Ryan Farnes

Ryan Farnes sent me yet another cool picture.

"I decided to follow the Jango Fett theme again, but this time on Kamino. I have one image. Here it is: Jango Fett's ship sitting on a landing platform on Kamino. There is a rain storm out in the distance as well as a city, the horizon is full of the ocean and the "platform deck's" surface is the one Obi-Wan and Jango battle on. Enjoy! ".
