Even if you're not a fan of star wars it's a challenge to capture the right feel. I think it's good to have people that are not very into star wars painting the pics, as I think big star wars fans would tend to try too hard to make it look star wars.
Uh, hard to explain what a I mean but perhaps you understand what I mean or something close to what a I mean. xD Keep up the great work anyways!
