CLASSIC ART: THE ENDURING UNIVERSE...


The legacy of the George Lucas created STAR WARS saga continues, as next year marks the Fortieth Anniversary of the original film that started it all, the Twentieth Anniversary of the Special Editions, and the Twentieth Anniversary of the filming of EPISODE I and the start of the Prequels. All of it nicely represented above in fine art by Steve Anderson.

Here's a selection of recent online articles that have caught my fancy from across the Classic and Prequel sagas...
