In this behind the scenes iphone snap it looks like Lady Wikariin™ is using the Kelvinator-Class Engine in the Alleigance… Should be an interesting set build once it is finished construction.

Claudia MacPhearson Behind The Scenes
Here is a snap of Claudia MacPhearson Behind The Scenes trying on Patreeka’s wig. Claudia is suppose to be playing the gunner character Lexren™, but couldn’t resist the temptation to try on Patreeka’s test-wig that is meant for actress Patricia Elgin.

Original Script for Star Wars is Being Released as a Comic Book
Did you know that the first script that George Lucas wrote for Star Wars was very different from the movie we all know and love. Originally called The Star Wars, it featured several other characters, as well as different versions of the characters that we all know and love. It tells the “story of Jedi Annikin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker, an alien named Han Solo, and evil Sith Knights.” Yes, Han Solo was originally an alien!
Most fans are unaware of this original script, but Dark Horse Comics has announced that they will be adapting it into an eight-issue comic book mini-series! So we will as a glimpse of what could have been!
Check out the full press release and artwork below.
“It’s no April Fools’ prank! Dark Horse is honored to announce a dream project: working with J.W. Rinzler, executive editor at LucasBooks, and artist Mike Mayhew (Avengers) to adapt the rough-draft original screenplay which spawned the biggest franchise in film history!
Three years before his 1977 film, George Lucas put down on paper his first story set in a galaxy far, far away—a tale of fantastic adventures, daring escapes, “lazer swords,” romance, and monsters. A story of Jedi Annikin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker, an alien named Han Solo, and evil Sith Knights. The screenplay was titled The Star Wars!
“I’m not sure where I first read about The Star Wars—it was years and years ago—but the idea of Luke Skywalker being an older Jedi General, and Han Solo being a six-foot-tall lizard, turned my Star Wars fan brain on its side,” said longtime Star Wars editor Randy Stradley. “I always assumed this would be one of those stories that would be ‘lost to history,’ so getting to work on bringing it to life is kinda like a dream come true.”
“While researching in the Lucasfilm Archives I’ve found many treasures—but one which truly astounded me was George’s rough draft forThe Star Wars. His first complete imaginings were hallucinating to read—mind blowing,” said writer J.W. Rinzler. “While working with George on another book project, I once asked if we could adapt his rough draft. He was hesitant. Years later, with Dark Horse’s invaluable help, we showed him a few drawn and colored pages of what it might look like. He gave us the okay.”
Originally conceived in 1974, The Star Wars has been the subject of rumor and legend in the fan community throughout the history of the galaxy far, far away. Now, Lucas has seen fit to grant Dark Horse the right to adapt this fabled story into an eight-issue comic series launching in September!”
A glimpse at The Star Wars that never was.

Another Comic Book Concept for Planet 15
In this concept art we see Captain John Mac and his crew in an almost Japanimation style comic book. Director Matt Sparrow was quoted as saying, “This direction is way too cutesy and not dark enough… this is a a fucking sci-fi epic not a episode of Pokemon”, looks like they will take a more serious approach with the comic than this one.

Another concept drawing for Patreeka™
Here we can see another concept drawing for Patreeka™ the robot girl. This sketch by artist Mitch Hoes which we had our art department colour, and play with the background. Overall the team like this look, but we still might want to soften her look a little bit.

Another Version of the Planet 15 Comic Book Characters
Here we see a sample from another artist for the comic book. Much darker in tone. Director Matt Sparrow is quoted as saying “I like the darker style of this artist, but I find these characters a little too mean looking, these are suppose to be the good guys right?”. Well again this is just one possible direction they will go with the project.
