IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SITH !

Todat's post features the four Sith Lords you meet in the first six films of Star Wars.
First is Darth Sidious, he was also known as chancellor Palpatine and the Emperor, now there is a character with an identity crisis ! LOL no WIP shots on these as they were a very simple colour scheme.

Next is Darth Maul, Darth Sidios's first known apprentice, he only lasted one movie after being cut in two by Obi Wan Kenobi, in the expanded universe he actually returned with a mechanical lower half and even appeared in the movie Solo, where he was the head of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn.

The third is Darth Tyrannus, also known as Count Dooku, he first appeared in episode 2 the Attack of the Clones, but met his demise in episode 3 Revenge of the Sith at the hands of Anakin Skywalker.

The last entry today is probably the most iconic, Darth Vader ! known originally as Anakin Skywalker and the father of Luke and Leia, was manipulated by Dart Sidious to embrace the dark side and become Darth Vader.

That's the lot for this post, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

  1. Oohhh... Count Dooku - My favourite "Star Wars" baddie, Dave; albeit the recent novel featuring his origin was so bad I stopped reading it a third of the way through. Great painting on them all!!!

  3. Palpatine... wonder if the rumours pan out and that he'll return in the next sequel?

    All look spot on for the film versions. Good painting Dave.

    1. Thank you Dai, I'm currently avoiding trailers and discussions on the next film, and hoping they actually come up with something original, not just a weak remake of the previous films !

    2. You mean like how Episodes 7 & 8 are? Ugh... shoot me now. I hope beyond all hope that my boyhood love for Star Wars is not further ground away by lazy writing.

  5. Cracking bit of paint work Dave, I think if ever a baddie was killed off to soon it was Darth Maul, while Vader was always going to be a hard act to follow I really did think Maul ran him close.

    1. Thank you Frank, yes I was dissapointed when he was killed off so early, so was really happy when he appeared in the different cartoon series and Solo movie, and agree he was a great replacement to Darth Vader, as he had a real air of mystery to him
