Although I’m not a fan of the idea of Yoda using a lightsaber, I still think this is a really cool-looking painting.

(I’m also wondering whether this was made pre-PT since his lightsaber is blue. His belt does however remind me of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s belts in TPM. Does anyone have any idea when this was made?)

I’m going to guess it was made between TPM and AOTC, as we didn’t see Yoda use a lightsaber in TPM.

Yeah, that would make sense.
However I did a google image search for Yoda’s lightsaber in ep. II & III and it looks just like the lightsaber in this painting. I also looked at pictures of Yoda from TPM, the original version, and I couldn’t see him carrying a lightsaber. So I guess this could have been made based on some early AOTC artwork, but until I find a specific date I’ll still be somewhat confused by this one.

Anyway, here’s some more awesome Yoda art that I found
These are by Tsuneo Sanda;

The TPM Visual Dictionary provided an image of Yoda’s lightsaber hilt.

Ah right, that explains it. Thanks.

(I wonder he choose by though. Green would have been much more predictable. I’m guessing he assumed that Yoda would never have an actual lightsaber duel in the movies so he just chose the colour he thought looked nice.)

I want a picture of Mace Windu’s lightsaber hilt, specifically the one engraved with BAD M----- F-----*.

^ I like that Darth Vader is cast in the role of Van Helsing in the above pic.

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.

GREAT! I love his style!

Here’s the rest of John Alvin’s unused SW poster designs;

And here’s some misc. unused poster designs which I find interesting and cool-looking;

Unused Ralph McQuarrie designs;

(I know most people know of this one, but it’s still awesome.)

Unused poster design by John Solie from 1976;

Some unused marketing posters for ANH;

Some early Tom Jung designs;

Misc unknown artists;

Some more unused SW poster designs;

Another ROTJ poster by an unknown artists (probably the same guy who made the last poster in my previous post).

Unused UK release poster for ANH by Tom Beauvai;

ESB poster design by Manuel Sanjulian;

ESB poster design by Roger Kastel;

ROTJ designs by Robert Hunt;

Misc. Ralph MacQuarrie poster designs.
(Please let me know if you find/have any high-res versions of these.)

Apparently the Coca Cola Company had their own sets of SW marketing posters back when ANH and ESB were being released. I really don’t know how these tied in with their product, they’re simply very cool-looking SW posters.

I should have posted this in my previous post, but I forgot, so here’s a somewhat cheesy newspaper ad which I find kind of amusing for some reason;

I don’t know how the insipid post-AOTC EU got away with publishing a novel featuring a Jedi with a red
lightsaber. Whatever the answer may be, I just love that this cover exists.

This cover suffers from a disturbing lack of space Nazis.
