Droids and Ewoks

October 21, 2009 - If you're into animation cels, there are a lot of good ones from Droids available right now on Ebay, including a few featuring comedian droid LIN-D! The prices seem to be reasonable too, so if you're interested, click this link to check them out: Droids cels on Ebay

October 13, 2009 - No Droids or Ewoks news today, but some sad news is being reported over at John Jackson Miller's blog. The long running comic series Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will be ending at issue 50.
The characters from this series were my personal favorite modern Expanded Universe characters, so it's sad to see their story coming to an end. I hope they find a happy ending!

September 29, 2009 - The launch of The Clone Wars:Season 2 is coming up fast, October 2 to be precise. I'm still not sure where folks in Canada (like myself) will be able to see it, but I'm sure many fans in the U.S.A. are getting excited as the day approaches!
In the meantime, theforce.net has posted some preview clips to whet your appetite a bit more! Check them out by clicking on the link.

September 29, 2009 - Here's an interesting find on Ebay: a rare vintage Ewoks Play-Doh set! This was part of the Wicket the Ewok merchandise line that existed in the period between Return of the Jedi and the Ewoks animated series. Several of the Wicket the Ewok products, including this one, would have the Return of the Jedi logo on the packaging.
A great retro item that really brings back the memories. I can smell that Play-Doh now!

September 16, 2009 - No official name has ever been given to this character, but it seems that he would most likely be a torture/dissection droid. Seen only in the Droids special The Great Heep, he was about to saw open C-3PO who was strapped to his dissection table.

September 11, 2009 - Mass produced plastic toys are fine, but it's hard to beat home made crafts.
Here is a Han Solo figure made entirely out of wood; most of it coming from the handle of a broken shovel.

September 9, 2009 - Here's a long overdue addition to the Droids TV characters section: It's Governor Koong and Gaff's droid BUN-Dingo. This metal menace appeared in the 11th episode of Droids, titled The Roon Games. To read more about BUN-Dingo and other Droids TV characters, click on the picture or choose the 'characters' button up top.

September 8, 2009 - More modern action figures have been added to the site, including two from Knights of the Old Republic: Darth Revan from the 30th Anniversary Collection and HK-47 from the Legacy Collection.

September 6, 2009 - Pictures of the amazing looking C-3PO figure from The Clone Wars line have now been added to the Action Figures section. Click on the picture or on the Action Figures button to the right for more!

September 4, 2009 - Look, my art is famous!
Well, not really, but I found a way to make it look famous! I just discovered Photofunia.com today, and there tons of fun things that you can do with your pictures on that site!

September 2, 2009 - More art! Here is a sketch of Horville from the Ewoks episode 'Horville's Hut of Horrors'. Like the last one, this sketch was by me!
For more on the fan art, just click on the 'pictures' category above, and then head to the Ewoks or Droids section.

August 29, 2009 - Like many fans, I really enjoy the art of Star Wars. From concept art to the art of comics, official licensed art to fan art, there are really a lot of nice pieces out there. But it gets a little trick when it comes to art from Droids and Ewoks. There isn't really a whole lot out there! So, in the coming days, weeks, months (and hopefully years!) we are going to highlight some of the fine Droids and Ewoks work that is out there. If you would like to submit some of your own or you know of someone else who has been putting their artistic talents to work on Droids or Ewoks, please let me know through the forum!

Anyway, on with the show! First up is a sketch by ...me! I am certainly no great artist, but since I run this site, you know, why not go first!
This is a sketch of an Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot as he appeared in issue 8 of the Droids comic series. I always liked the look of this character, but he was only seen in two panels, and neither gave a complete picture of him. So combining what I saw in the two pictures, this was the result.
