Well, it may not be everyone’s ‘cup of tea,’ but I’ve always been a huge fan of the SW art of Cam Kennedy.
He’s a comic artist so there’s a lot to choose from, but here’s some of my favourite pices of his.

(PS, I’m always on the lookout for high-res copies of Cam Kennedy SW art.)

Original Trilogy Documentaries/Making-Ofs (YouTube, Vimeo, etc. finds)

^ I didn’t know the Coneheads were part of the SW universe. Crossover?

They tend to bleed into the universe… yes.

Star Wars art by Bruce Timm (the guy behind Batman the Animated Series back in the early 90’s)
I think his drawing style has a nice retro feel to them, these drawing (especially the first two) feel very much like they could have been from a Marvel comic back in the late 70’s.

I don’t think warm-up sketches and unfinished pieces fall under “awesome art” but art is subjective.

I’m pretty sure that any form of drawing can be called art, but I’ll avoid sketches in the future.
I just though they were pretty neat.
Also I’ve never found any colorized version of these drawings so either Bruce Timm was just making some SW doodles for fun or this is from some cancelled project.

To make up for me ignorance though, I offer this piece of awesome (“finished”) art;

Well, people have speculated that Snoke might be really small. Hence the oversized hologram.
So I guess this kinda makes sense.

EDIT: This picture technically belongs in the random pics thread, but it kind of fits with this picture, so I’ll just post the link here; http://www.bluemilkspecial.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2012-01-09-TESB-082.jpg

I hope they don’t go this route because it would be weird to see another short force sensitive being flipping around. Also we don’t need anymore heavy handed OT callbacks. Any callbacks to the OT needs to be VERY subtle or the whole conversation of rehashing will be brought up again.

Agreed. Also that’s why I said “kinda makes sense.” I mostly just thought it was funny, and it reminded me of that comic strip I linked to.

I mean they can make Snoke 5 feet tall and the oversized hologram would still work they just don’t need to make him Yoda small.

That’s a good one, almost posted it. Hi-res would be nice.

Seriously. Also a version without the text and Han Solo cropped out would be nice as well.
