'TK-421'
Inspired by one of the most recognizable pieces of armor in pop culture, this piece represents the unrelenting faceless vanguard of the Imperial war machine, the Stormtrooper. Trained from an early age as elite front-line shock troops, the unquestioningly loyal members of the Stormtrooper Corps. would the be razor's edge that greeted dissenting systems under the new Galactic Empire. For many citizens of the former Republic, this helmet would be last visage they would ever see.
-"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"
'Elegant Weapons'
My new lightsaber print series.
My goal was to represent these pieces of classic cinema in a way that would truly do them justice. I did extensive research to make this series as screen accurate as possible. Every bolt, every flange is represented in detail. The 20"x60" super pano version is even actual size, 1:1 scale, for those who feel like taking the plunge.
Inspired by the most coveted weapons in all of Geekdom, from one of the most beloved film franchises of all time, this is the first of my 'Elegant Weapons' lightsaber collection. Based on the prop from Ep. IV 'A New Hope' and the very first of it's kind to grace the silver screen, this saber has entranced generations since we first saw it blaze to life in the hands of an unlikely hero on a desolate backwater planet in the Outer Rim. Wielded briefly by a young Luke Skywalker, it would help to place the fledgling Jedi on an inescapable path to destiny.
-"Your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire."
Inspired by the most coveted weapons in all of Geekdom, from one of the most beloved film franchises of all time, this print is the second addition to my 'Elegant Weapons' lightsaber collection. Based on the prop from Ep. V 'The Empire Strikes Back', this saber graced the cold mechanical hand of one of the most iconic villains of all time. After succumbing to the lure of the Dark Side, a twisted and corrupted Anakin Skywalker was reborn into a powerful sith lord who, at his master's side, would plunge the galaxy into darkness and whose name would instill fear throughout every corner of the former Republic.
- "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side."
Inspired by the most coveted weapons in all of Geekdom, from one of the most beloved film franchises of all time, this is the third print in my 'Elegant Weapons' lightsaber collection. Rounding out the original trilogy, this saber is based on the prop used in Ep. VI 'Return Of The Jedi'. After completing it's construction as part of his final training, this weapon would serve as Luke's second saber and as a herald of the new Jedi order.
- "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
