Celebration is upon us! While I won’t be there in person, I’ll be there in spirit 💙 My friends from @tinymangojunior will be selling my SWCA The Bad Batch prints at my table in the Art Show, if you are attending please stop by to say hi and grab a special Lula button ♥️ my friends will have some awesome stuff with their own art to give out as well so don’t miss out!
I also prepared some free goodies like stickers, pocket calendars and random art prints to serve as little bonuses that come with each purchase (while supplies last) ✨
May the Force be with you, everyone, and have fun at Celebration those who are going!!! I’ll be living through you vicariously :D
i just keep thinking about the giant star wars minifigure display that LEGO had at their booth for star wars celebration anaheim recently
seeing it all displayed like that next to each other really does highlight how much the clones were whitewashed and only recently (2020!) have been more accurate to tem’s skin tone
like damn i am so sorry my beloved clone minifigures they did that to u
glad they fixed it,,,,,and it only took like 20 years 💀

"[GEORGE] WANTED TO CREATE THE IDEA THAT JANGO FETT'S ARMOR BECAME THE EVOLUTION FOR THE STORMTROOPERS."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on concept art for phase I clone trooper armor and the armors genesis, the bounty hunter Jango Fett, artwork by design director Doug Chiang for "STAR WARS: Attack of the Clones," c. 1999. Lucasfilm Ltd.
AOTC/TRIVIA FACT: You can draw a line from Boba Fett’s helmet to the clone troopers.
OVERVIEW: "After completing work on the "STAR WARS: The Phantom Menace," art director Doug Chiang started "Clones" just a week after the prior movie’s release. It was a continuation of an exercise in world-building. “When we started working on the prequels,” he said, “the designs and the direction took me for a complete loop, because George wanted to try something new and establish a whole aesthetic guideline for the whole "STAR WARS" universe.”
This is evident in the clone trooper armor, which made its first appearance in the film. “This is really the fun of working with George,” Chiang explained. “He wanted to create the idea that Jango Fett’s armor became the evolution for the stormtroopers. So I literally took Jango Fett and his armor and basically kept the original design that Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie did. Then we started to blend it towards the classic stormtrooper helmet that we saw in the original trilogy.” The initial “phase one” trooper in "Clones" shares a T-visor design with Jango and Boba Fett, whereas those in "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" more closely resemble the stormtroopers."

I did a reread of ABC earlier this year and had full blown brainrot for the front half of 2022. Managed to suck 2 whole people into Alphabet Squadron hell with me, too! ✌️ It's hands down one of my favorite SW series, I love the characters and story so so much.
When me and my spouse were at SWCA with some of my postcards that had Yrica on them it was genuinely the best to spot fellow ABC fans. I'm so sad that Alexander Freed wasn't there so I could express to him how much these books mean to me, alas!
Forever love these very queer, absolute disaster pilots.
