I was having a discussion about Star Wars recently with some friends at my old bookshop, talking about the new trailer and what-not, and there was a know-it-all there who was a little older than some of us and had that ‘I grew up with the originals so I know better’ attitude and she started spewing about how ’that first prequel was full of awful CGI and nothing was even real like the originals’
I let her have her say, because I don’t like to argue, but then said
well, actually all of the prequels, including the phantom menace were
absolutely
packed
full
with gorgeous
large scale models
that were so good
you didn’t even realise they were miniatures
and then she shut up.
YES!!
Love amazing miniatures and puppets :-)
Just found this beauty of an image
I believe that that’s Virgil on the right and possibly Scott on the left (even though it says TB2 on his arm??)
LOVE this art style!

I was thinking someone should draw Scott in Air Force uniform, I guess this is similar?
I reverse-image-searched this and I THINK (like, 99% sure) the artist is Des Taylor. And his stuff’s really good!
