The Rise of Skywalker First Order Villains
I made some edits from the preview images of Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker First Order Villains. The art is done by Diogo Saito and Luigi Aime
And another animation I did from the art by Jody Muir:
Star Wars is Poetry, the controversial Rise of Skywalker “leaks” and the Art of Jedi Fallen Order poster releases!
Well! What a week it has been for Star Wars fans! I can’t even begin to describe the exciting week I’ve had, but I’m willing to bet a lot of Star Wars fans are feeling perhaps a little lost right now. Indeed, the Reylo fans will be feeling more than a bit annoyed after the latest The Rise of Skywalker leaks were released on Reddit. The internet is honestly blowing up as a result of these leaks. If you have yet to read them or you’re avoiding spoilers, don’t worry, I won’t be talking about them here. But if you’re interested in my point of view, I did write an article over at The Dork Side of the Force about the whole thing so feel free to read my work there.
I’ve made a few edits during my time off, another update for Star Wars is Poetry on Instagram:
And via Milner’s blog – the latest poster for the Art of the Jedi Fallen Order has hit the internet:
I’m currently trying to work my way through a textless edit of this poster but it’s proving to be much more challenging than anticipated. I’m continuing to chip away at it and I’ll post it here when it’s completed.
I’ve started a new IG account – starwarsispoetry is born!
I’ve wanted to create an IG account for Star War is Poetry for the longest time but I wasn’t too sure how I’d go about it. What I want to do is celebrate the words and literature of the Star Wars universe using words and images (but mostly words as it is an account dedicated to the written word).
So I made this clip for my blog:
And it’s so much easier to manage through the IG app on my phone now that you can use one primary IG account to access all of your IG accounts.
I spent some time creating this template which I want to use for all my posts:
Star Wars is Poetry: Star Wars A New Hope by Ryder Windham
I found this book along with the doodle book that came with it in a random store near their book section. I don’t know if this has even been on sale anywhere else – and I managed to find it on Amazon which I was really happy about but it’s sold as a separate book by the same author.
Star Wars: A New Hope Junior Novel Paperback – May 4, 2017
4.7 out of 5 stars 13 customer reviews
If you’re a fan of Star Wars literature (as I am), whatever you do, don’t dismiss or overlook any of the Junior novelizations. My first thought about junior novelizations was probably the same as most adult readers and that is to avoid them. I (was happy to find) that I was very wrong about that. Some of the novelizations are so well-written and are so worth the time.
My reason for this post was for this excerpt from the book that I’d like to share with you which I’ve copied from the novel:
Before Vader had been knocked out of the trench, he’d recognised the Corellian freighter as the same ship that had delivered Ben Kenobi to the Death Star, reportedly from Tatooine. Vader wondered why Kenobi had been on Tatooine, and how long he’d been there.
Then Vader thought of the last X-wing pilot in the trench. He was strong with the Force.
Vader wouldnt rest until he learned the truth (of who that pilot was).
You may or may not know how Darth Vader found that truth and it was via infamous Bounty Hunter Boba Fett:
This is one of the most significant events to happen from the Original Trilogy. If you’ve seen the prequel movies, you’ll know that when Anakin became Vader, he knew nothing of what happened to Padme after his ill-fated duel with Obi-Wan on Mustafar. And while Vader was very strong in the Force, it’s clearly evident that he did not know of Luke’s existence until this point. How amazing it would have been to have known Vader’s emotions at that moment. The culmination of all of his hard work killing and hunting down all of the Jedi after the execution of order 66 by Darth Sidious had basically all been for nothing. He had a son, and his son was to become the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. How proud and terrified he would have been all at once.
I also felt quite inspired after reading and then writing about this so I animated the cover art as well 🙂
Here’s the cover art:
And because I felt like it, here’s my animation of the same cover:
Star Wars is Poetry – The Legacy of the Jedi
Legacy of the Jedi
“Qui-Gon was not in touch with Count Dooku. He had not expected to be. Their relationship had not been based on friendship. It had been one of teacher and student. It was natural that they should not be in each other’s lives. It would be different with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon thought. He saw ahead to the days when Obi-Wan would be a Jedi Knight, and he would like to be part of that”
The Legacy of the Jedi, by Jude Watson
This reiterates the different type of relationships that Jedi are allowed to share openly as Master and Padawan. But in this situation, it is the fall of the Master, not the apprentice so quite a different dynamic as Jedi Dooku was the apprentice of Yoda and in turn, became a Jedi Master to Qui Gon Jinn.

Star Wars – Rey of Jakku edit
It’s fitting that I should be uploading an edit I did of Rey for the Journey to The Rise of Skywalker book cover because I recently stumbled upon a movie leak I probably shouldn’t have read. The leak was about Rey but that’s all I will say and I’m calling it a leak because it has been confirmed on Reddit as a leak not a rumour.
I love this cover though and while it looks amazing as it is without any text, I wanted to see what it would look like with some text using a technique I learned over the weekend:
Original image
and my edit 🙂
Thrawn and Anakin variant cover art
Where have you been all my life?? Apparently, I am very late to this party 😂 because this was released last year!
That said, does it look like it’s a little photoshopped to you or is that just me being overly critical?
