REVENGE OF THE SITH artwork is out and my god... it's full of stars...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with something to get the old geek salivary glands pumping. I feel so vulnerable right now. Every time I see something new from Episode 3, a little bit more of my cynical shell is breaking off, leaving the tender pink pulp of a hopeful fanboy exposed. Of course those shots of Vader jumping around didn't do much to turn me back to Lucas' side (did it look to anyone else that the suit was just kind of hanging off of the person wearing it?), but take a look at this beauty below:





I'll be the first to admit that pre-production art is 99 times out of 100 cooler than the execution of the scene to film, but damn if that above illustration doesn't make me want to love REVENGE OF THE SITH with all my geeky being. It comes from the cover of the Art of Star Wars book and if the rest of the artwork looks like that then... droooolll... Like I said, I'm feeling very vulnerable now. I promised I wasn't going to let Lucas trick me again, but I can honestly say that of all the prequels, the early stuff that has "leaked" for REVENGE OF THE SITH is by far the most impressive. He better not hurt me again!

The good folks at Inlandempirestrikesback.net got the scoop on the above image, plus the covers of two more STAR WARS books. One is for the novelization and the other is for the Making Of book. Check 'em out by clicking the below links, but beware... they are super-mega huge.
