Our posts the last few weeks:
Our Fanart of the Week is something quite different today, it’s an edit rather than a painting. I saw it on Tumblr and simply loved it so I thought I’d share the set of four edits. I’ve had to combine them into one graphic but when you visit Darylas’ tumblr you can find them separately! I absolutely love these edits, the way each character is combined with their home planets. To get really into it with my analysis, each character is in many ways defined by their planets. The harsh and lonely surroundings leave their marks on the lonely and resourceful Anakin and Luke, while Padme and Leia are both growing up in vibrant and political environments, making them the outspoken and strong women they are.
Darylas added the line: ‘The Force is strong in my family‘ to this edit which I thought was beautiful. Also hop over to Darylas‘ other tumblr, dedicated to Star Wars, Ani and his Angel!
