FALLEN EVIL!

Amongst the colorful sunset beauty of Bespin and its iconic Cloud City, a First Order Cruiser falls to its doom in this memorable scene from the near-end to The Rise of Skywalker, as first captured in conceptual art by James Clyne.

CLASSIC ART: DESCENT TO THE STARKILLER!

Another great piece of James Clyne concept/production art for The Force Awakens, as Resistance X-wings descend to attack Starkiller Base and its ascending TIE fighters. It's also a nice visual reference to A New Hope's Special Edition, with the new shot of the Rebel fighters descending into the Death Star.

'SOLO': LADY OF THE SPACEWAYS!

There are spaceships, and there are Star Wars spaceships, of which Lando Calrissian's souped up, top-of its-game freighter, the Millennium Falcon, must be one of the fastest and slickest ships out there, as seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story. And then came Han Solo and that little trip through the Kessel Maelstrom!

Stunning conceptual art of the Kessel run! Conceptual art by James Clyne.

'SOLO': IMPERIALS AT THE GATE!

Han thinks that the Empire isn't going to worry about that little incident of theft and rebellion that he and his comrades have instigated on Kessel. Wrong! Sure enough, an Imperial Star Destroyer and TIE fighter support are not what our soon-famous smuggler needs right now whilst trying to escape Kessel's legendary and fearsome The Maw, in a spectacular effects sequence, heightened by rousing John Powell/John Williams music, for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Great art for the scene as rendered by Dan Mumford, that ultimately graced the unique subscriber's cover edition of EMPIRE magazine a month or so back.
