Artist’s description
After almost four years, I finally managed to finish this drawing! Inspired by the video “Why Marvel's MCU Succeeds While Star Wars Stumbles (Discussion)” from E.C. Henry, I tried to reimagine how Lucasfilm could bring Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy back into Star Wars canon! This poster is a tribute to the trilogy written by Mr. Zahn and, above all, a celebration of both canon and legends continuities. It is also a tribute to many artists whose work I admire. Therefore, I used in my artwork some costume as designed by those artist. Details of the story I imagined while designing the poster:
- A young Ben Solo, with ten years old and about to begin his training with uncle Luke could be the pivotal point in this battle between the remnants of the old Galactic Empire and the New Republic.
- Along with the protagonists of the Original Trilogy, we could have Ahsoka Tano and Hera Syndulla, characters from Star Wars Rebels who have a close history with the villain.
- Jacen Syndulla, son of Hera and Kanan Jarrus, could be present in the story as a friend of Ben. Both being son of generals and force-sensitives, these friendship would serve to develop Ben as a character, presenting his dreams, desires, fears, and mirroring his future as Kylo Ren.
- Katana fleet, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Talon Karrde, Mara Jade, and Jorrus C'baoth would all have similar roles to those featured in the legends trilogy. C'baoth, the mad jedi clone, could be after Ben's powers in order to use them to rebuild a twisted version of the Jedi Order.
Side note. The artist used Idris Elba as Talon Karrde and Léa Seydoux as Mara Jade and Jacob Tremblay and Vanessa Marshall as Jacen and Hera Syndulla
