Darth Kayos flees...
21st June 2010 |
| Darth Kayos has unexpectedly drawn on her fear and anger and sent her light sword spinning at Luke Skywalker's back ! Although the young Jedi has deftly parried the attack, he's inadvertantly deflected the blade into the ceiling conduits. The red blade slices through some grid rails, and this ceiling portion has collapsed on top of Luke ! Scared and injured, Kayos takes the opportunity to flee. Her abilities chastened by the masterful Jedi, the Sith Lord wisely looks to the future and preservation, rather than risk Skywalker maim her yet further. |
 |
| As the dark clad Sith Lord escapes, a winded Luke Skywalker looks up at the disappearing figure. Summoning more strength from the Force, the young Jedi resolves to continue the pursuit ! |
 |
| Fleeing like the wounded scared creature she is, Kayos increases the distance between herself and Luke as she runs down the deserted corridors of the Imperial Palace. |

| In official publishing news, 2010 seems to be the year for new reference books. Along with Rinzler's 'Making of TESB' opus, as well as the 'Star Wars Sounds' and 'Star Wars Year by Year' books, a new tome has been revealed : 'Lightsabers' by Scholastic publishers has over 60 pages of lightsabre lore, from history and construction to 'case studies' of famous duels - presumably those seen in the movies. Although 'Scholastic' is known for its younger 'juvenile' titles, I have hope that this reference book, due in Winter 2010, will be a worthy addition to the shelf of any aged fan. |
| In addition, the Official Site recently noted the sad passing away of one of the most popular artists of the Marvel Comic Strip and Dark Horse graphic novel anthologies. Al Williamson died in mid June, and he lent a very distinctive visual flair to the portrayal of our Star Wars heroes and villains, during the especial time of the pre-internet periods in-between the Original Trilogy movies. These stories and adventures kept the flame alive in the "dark times" of the OT, and Al Williamson, along with the likes of Archie Goodwin, was instrumental in ensuring that flame burned long and hard. |
