Description
For my 400th image, I wanted something BIG. And it would be difficult to get much bigger than....
I'm sure you've all heard by now that Disney has puchased the rights to the entire Star Wars universe from Lucasarts..... For Four BILLION dollars... That's pretty bloody big! I get excited over a 20-dollar bill... I can't even begin to comprehend 4 billion...
There are now 3 additional movies in the planning stages - Episodes 7,8, and 9. A lot of ideas went through the cream cheese that now suffices for my mind, so I had to put a little something together. To paraphrase Grand Moff Tarkin, "You don't know how difficult it was for me to sign the order to put mouse ears on Lord Vader...."
I had actually thought about depicting Jar-Jar Binks as the new Chancellor, but I didn't want Alex coming after me with one of those flechette pistols - those things are nasty!
Anyway......
Starring as our new Jedi heroes are Ray's very own Cherry and Clay (SidheRoseGraphic's Cherry and Clay available at YURDigital - go get 'em! *waves hand like a Jedi*). I used a couple of NightmareHero's most excellent spaceships, and the 'DeathStar' is simply a Poser ball primative with a shader included in Poser. Starfield background courtesy of NASA. Thanks to pgmeri01 for the astro-droid, and Sam Therapy for the Dalek. Clay's outfit is the 'Batman' armour by IceBoy (shareCG).
I found the Star Wars font somewhere out there -in a galaxy not so far far away.... :-P Just Google Star Wars Fonts...
Hope you enjoy this bit of fun as much as I enjoyed putting it together! And now, back to working on Page 16 of the T.N.A. saga!
And I'd be remiss for not saying a big THANK YOU to all my excellent friends here at Rendo! Your support and encouragement more than anything else has helped me grow as an artist, has helped me through some very difficult times, and is a BIG part of the reason I have 400 images in my gallery.
Thank you all so much! You truly do..... ROCK!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fantastic work Rod! I do hope that whatever they do, they don't bring in creatures/characters that make Jar Jar or Ewoks look good....
MagikUnicorn

OMG mouse ears on Lord Vader! ROFLMAO. I suppose as long as he doesn't tinkle like Tinkerbell or giggle like Mickey now it's okay. Jar-Jar Binks would have defintely been a disaster. Lol. I like 'Princess Cherry' and 'Clay Skywalker' :D Thank you dear. They look great and quite capable in their roles. Excellent dedi to this questionable liason. Not sure what I think about it but I hope it all works out for the best. That is a ton o' money! Congratulations on image 400 too :)

Fabulous work! Congratulation on your 400th post!

jar jar binks is related to goofy??? say it isn't so - lol Walt Never would of bought Star Wars - what a waste... he would of taken that money and created something a hell of a lot better than star wars - seriously.... I guess we're not going to get any new rides at Disneyland or Disneyworld in our life time. People always compare Roddenberry and Lucas, Star Trek and Star Wars.... Star Trek was f--king brilliant... let's kill our characters and bring them back to life - lol... Lucas was an idiot... let's take this bad as guy, remove his helmet and show that he's actually a nice old man that was controlled by an evil emperor that he kills anyway - end of show... end of the characters - man, he killed the character brought them back as ghosts, but it's too late, not even Mickey Mouse can save them - lol.... and that is why I think it was stupid for Disney to buy the rights of Star wars..... now, Michael Jackson was brilliant buying the rights to the Beetles.... no one in his family line should ever have to work again with his music and the Beetles = lol .... Jar jar, get off of Goofy, I don't care if he taught you doggie style! lol

For a boy from Modesto Lucas has done well for himself. Glad jar jar isn't in the picture. Mouse ears on vader what a great idea. awesome render.
cricke49
lmao at all the comments, excellent concept rod, love the mouse ears on vader! you couldn't fit anymore in this scene? lol! awesome image render!:)*5

Awesome Image, and congrats on your 400th post! I like how you put Mickey's ears on Vader!... Now Disney bought the rights to Starwars...oh man I can see their writers screwing up the starwars universe! I know Episodes 7,8, and 9 are going to suck!! With star trek, next Gen, Deep space 9, star trek voyager...they stayed true to the original, but now that they bought the rights, they can do anything they want! I guess well see what happens...

What a fantastic depiction Rod, you really did great my friend. It just so happens I was watching Star Trek the animated series season four tonight
thekingtut
Cool render. But what's up with the plumber droid? I myself hope they don't bring in any of the original actors. They're just too old, and Carrie Fischer is just too nutty.
Rainastorm
Sooo cool for a 400th image Rod!! Amazing work and results my friend!
pixeluna
Congratulations on your 400th post, Big Bro! I really like the poster style of this image and how you have put your special touches such as elements and poses. The layout is one of your best--- love it!
RodS
LOL @ Kingtut - good to see you still around, bro! I think YOU should do the writing for the new SW movies! Really!
renecyberdoc
this lucas boy is not only a good adneven great producer but also an intelligent sob i presume. thats a way lot of money and you created an epic image to go with. this one should be the promo for the next movie.
vitachick
Wow can't even describe the render!!! 4 billion? Speak to our President. That is just a drop in the bucket to him too!
HADCANCER
I see old Darth Vader went back to the dark side and Dr. Who may even show up...smile Looks like we have a female Capt Solo too. Maybe a cameo appearance by the TNA girls....grin Song? Natch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwu4S996VZI Sorry about the ad

Thank you for 400 images Rod. The real hereo of Starwars is George Lucas who is donating almost the entire bag of loot to educational charities. Kinda said when a philanthropist has to pay for America to be educated but whatever it takes we need more like him if we are ever gonna have people who can make his technological vision a reality.

Congrats for your 400th's image - It's such a fantastic looking sci-fi-scene!
ZanderXL
Dude, if you had posted Jar-Jar-Frackin-Binks then I would have come after you with my very REAL shinken (look up the word if you don't know it)... Meesa thinkin yoosa... BAM!! SHUT UP!!!!!! Personally I am hoping this breathes life into a floundering franchise. Can't be any worse that what Lucas himself did to it! Fingers crossed for an appearance of Admiral Thrawn!
adrie
It's s must in full-size view Rod, amazing work on this very cool sci-fi scene Rod....love it.
mrestey

400th....Wow!...Well not to be the rain on a most joyous parade but I'm not into Star Wars anymore since they decided to remake upon remake and after awhile it gets old that they can't seem to come up with any new ideas anymore except remakes...Though I enjoy what you created I just think they need to leave a classic like the original SW alone is all...Selling it to Disney is one way to preserve it for future generations to come but just not remake it is all.
jocko500
you need to get hire by the movie people before they steal your ideas. cool looking
