![]() ![]() McQuarrie’s earliest Sith and Wookiee drawings can be mined for inspiration, as can Colin Cantwell’s Death Star. I’m also enjoying the process of taking what I’ve learned writing and researching the three classic trilogy making-of books and transferring some of that to this comic book. It’s fascinating to get into the nuts and bolts of George’s script, to examine closely and interpret, when necessary, fill in a few tiny gaps, and transfer the most visual and exciting aspects to sequential storytelling, panel by panel. I’m pulling my weight, too (or hope I am). I think fans are going to enjoy all this - from the most serious fan to the most casual fan, and perhaps the youngest fan - because George told such a cool, accessible story, and because Mike and Rain are doing such fantastic work. Hats off to Randy Stradley at Dark Horse for finding Mike, and to Mike for recommending Rain. I’m in the middle of adapting issue #5 in the eight-issue arc. As of today artist Mike Mayhew has finished pages for the first issue and is starting on issue #2, roughing in the action colorist Rain Beredo is about half way done on issue #1. By now most fans are aware that George Lucas has given us permission to adapt his rough draft for The Star Wars, which he wrote in 1974. ![]()
