Star Wars news

While I'm getting ready for [livejournal.com profile] bimo's weekend visit, which will entail lots of Blake's 7 and Firefly, and for posting my [livejournal.com profile] babficathon entry once [livejournal.com profile] leyenn gives the "all clear" sign, I discovered, to my great delight, via [livejournal.com profile] fernwithy and [livejournal.com profile] jediowl, that we've got a new Episode III picture:


...and she's wearing the japor pendant!


(Why this is a big deal if you, like me, are actually fond of the prequels: this was the present Anakin made for Padme as a child in The Phantom Menace.)

(Oh, and while the picture exudes angst, they're looking drop-dead gorgeous, both of them.)

On that SW prequel lovin' note, check out this essay on iconic imagery in Star Wars, and the multi-part, lengthy analysis of Attack of the Clones which inspired it.

...The Helmet? :) I think I am going to be WAY too amused if that's part of the real title.

No, "Behind the Helmet" is a HyperSpace (ie, restricted to paying users) feature on the SW website.

Oh, okay. :) Wasn't familiar with that.
