A landing platform on Kamino
Another cool picture by Ryan Farnes

Ryan Farnes sent me yet another cool picture.

"I decided to follow the Jango Fett theme again, but this time on Kamino. I have one image. Here it is: Jango Fett's ship sitting on a landing platform on Kamino. There is a rain storm out in the distance as well as a city, the horizon is full of the ocean and the "platform deck's" surface is the one Obi-Wan and Jango battle on. Enjoy! ".

Mace Windu and Obi-Wan
Growing concerns about Anakin

Luke sent in a couple of pictures he made in Photoshop. Today, I'm posting the first one; I'll post the others later.

"Howdy Roderick My name is Luke (yes, that is my real name) and I'm from Australia. All the pictures you've been posting are great, and inspired to whip up a couple of my own yesterday. I used Photoshop to create them, and hope that at least one of them is good enough for you to post. Keep up the good work on your site! This pic is of the scene with Mace Windu and Obi-Wan having a discussion on a balcony high above Coruscant".

"Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"
Dramatic events on Tatooine

A great picture from Germany this time. Dennis shows us what must be one of the most tragic scenes of Episode II: right after the traumatic events during which his mother Shmi is killed by a couple of Tusken Raiders, Anakin loses control and gives in to his anger and hatred. He takes revenge and kills the Tusken Raiders.

Here's what Dennis writes: "Hi! I love the idea of the Virtual Edition website! It's great! This is Dennis "Clem" Stoye from Germany and maybe somebody like my vision of Anakin's way to the dark side of the force. The image shows Anakin on Tatooine and his encounter with the tusken raiders! May the Force be with you!". Dennis made a high-resolution version of his picture: click on it to see his art in all it's full-screen glory!

Shocktroopers in action
A new picture by Ryan

Ryan Farnes sent in another great picture. This is the first picture on the Virtual Edition that features the now famous 'shocktroopers':

"Roderick, Thanks for posting my pictures. I take it not too many people have sent stuff if mine are getting posted. I used Fractal Painter 4 on those and for this new one I used Fractal Painter 5. Hope you enjoy. This is a picture of clonetroopers fighting droids near the arena during the climatic battle." Ryan, you're way too modest. Your pictures are awesome! Keep up the good work!

Serious action on Kamino
A new picture from France

The fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett on Kamino continues to inspire a lot of fan-art. Today's picture was sent to me from France:

"Hi Roderick ! Let me introduce myself : My name is Sofiane BERLAT and I'm french. Last week, I was watching "The Virtual Edition"'s main page and I decide to create some images. This is my first one. It shows OB1 and Jango fighting on Kamino. OB1 is runing over Jango and the bountuy hunter is shooting the jedi. But OB1 deflects every shot. To create Jango, I've analyze different pictures (2 Episode II selects and a spy picture). That's why I'm sure I know that Jango will look like this. I hope you like it. Now I'm working on a scene in ther arena with Mace Windu which will coming soon. Good Bye Roderick, and may the force be with you . ;-)"

Thanks for the nice picture, and keep sending me your artwork!

Obi-Wan on the rocks
Ryan Farnes shows us what happens on Geonosis

Here's another picture by Ryan Farnes, who also made the other two Geonosis pictures in the last update.

This picture shows what happens to Obi-Wan on the rocky planet of Geonosis: "A reluctant Obi-Wan Kenobi is surrounded by droids on Geonosis, right before he is captured. You can see what's left of the first droids he ran into; they're smoking in the distance. Also in the background are the stalagmite towers."

What do you think of this picture? Post your comments HERE. I've received some more great pictures that I'll post soon. I'd love to see some pictures of the now famous 'shocktroopers' or 'clonetroopers' in action, so if you feel inspired, please send me your artwork!

Jango Fett on Geonosis
Two great pictures by Ryan Farnes

Ryan Farnes mailed me these two awesome pictures.

Here are Ryan's comments on the first picture: "This is Jango Fett's approach to Geonosis with the droid control ships orbiting the planet." The second picture: "This is Slave I sitting on Geonosis with the stalagmite towers in the background. I kind of have them as the factories with the smoke coming out and the droids being made inside."

Jango Fett and Obi-Wan
Assassination attempt in the Cloning facilities on Geonosis

Darth Michael mailed me his 'virtual edition' of a scene that takes place in the cloning facilities on Geonosis.

Here are Michael's comments: "I just finished this picture. It's a shot of Obi-Wan examining the Geonosis cloning chambers with Jango Fett taking aim in the background. Since they haven't really released any pics of Jango yet, I had to use what I could find. Well, in any case, I hope you like it! Thanks!"

The Arena battle on Geonosis
Jedi in action

[April 16, 2001 - posted by Roderick]

Happy Easter to all of you! I hope you enjoy your holiday (if you have one). The RSI is still making it impossible for me to work longer than a few minutes on the computer each time... just enough time to do these small updates.

Tyler mailed me a nice picture of the jedi fighting a couple of destroyers in the arena on Geonosis. "I was reading through the plot, and I thought I would make a pic of the arena battle on Geonisis, that you could use on your site if you wanted too. Although I don't think Plo Koon is in the arena at the time, he is on the control ship with Ki-Adi Mundi." Good work!

Return to Coruscant
Two pictures by Ryan Farnes

[April 12, 2001 - posted by Roderick]

Today, I've got two pictures by Ryan Farnes from Washington D.C:

Here's what Ryan writes: "the first picture is a possible evening approach of Amidala's entourage to Coruscant at the beginning of Episode II. The other picture is of 2 scout Naboo N-1 fighters doing fly-overs of Amidala's landing platform. I am kind of new to this image stuff so I know they aren't that great but you knew hey... "

Gladiator II
Thumbs up for a new picture by Scott Rogers!

[April 10, 2001 - posted by Roderick]

Scott Rogers created this excellent picture of Mace Windu and Jango Fett fighting the Reek (and each other) in the arena. Here's what Scott writes:

"Hi Roderick, I've been enjoying your site for quite some time. In a burst of Star Wars enduced excitement over the storyboards that leaked from ILM, I created the following virtual image of Mace and Jango Fett fighting the Reek in the arena. Perhaps you can use it at your site. Best, Scott Rogers"

Thanks Scott, you did a great job!

Mace Windu in the Arena
fighting for his life

[April 2, 2001 - posted by Roderick]

You've been sending me some really cool pictures to post . The picture above is made by Tom Nahas from Clinton Twp Michigan. Here's what he writes:

"Hey Roderick, It tried to get this as close to allowed size as I could. However, it was something I had started a while ago. Hope you like it. Obviously it is Mace in the Arena fighting the Droids". Pretty cool. Keep sending me your 'virtual editions' of Episode II scenes (try to use the 'widescreen' dimensions: width=470 height=200)

See you next update!
