Art Notes: "She's (gasp) beeoooodiful!"

A Cast of Thousands

I swear to God, this site needs a Leia Gallery; or perhaps a full cast-list - with photos. Luke's been played by « Patrick Mower among others and now Carrie Fisher has stepped aside so the lovely Rachel Roberts can take a stab at a scene.

Radiant Beauty. Today's Leia is played by the late Rachel Roberts. Later to achieve fame in Picnic at Hanging Rock

Vader's on the prowl - lightsaber at the ready (much better than the film of course - silly George) flanked by useless Stormtroopers. Honestly, why does he bother with those guys? And Ben slips away from the tractor beam controls unnoticed. "SKLIK!" - through a borrowed Star Trek door. George and the designers used ANYTHING they could get their hands on to build the sets.

He's no Gentleman

And... Harrison Ford steps aside for one panel for the League of Gentlemen's Steve Pemberton!

Chaykin's Marvel comic version

Jesus - isn't Leia an absolute witch though? She obviously made quite an impression on me after only one viewing!

Thanks for reading! Care to comment?
