" You have taken your first steps into a larger world. "

Hello Blogsville! I hope all of you had a Wonderful Easter Weekend, indulging incessantly in that sweet, silky, cocoa colored delight we all know and love; Chocolate!

Well, I am here today with some pretty exciting, good news! LOL..at least to me, it is. Hopefully you'll all agree with me, as I share my joy with you, my Star Wars Family.

We all know that Lucasfilm and it's affiliates are busy everyday now, getting ready to Celebrate *thirty years* of Star Wars at Celebration IV! It seems every week, they display or post something to wet our palates in order for us to anticipate this event even more; if that's at all possible at this point? LOL...

Little by little, they have been "previewing" the ART that will be available at the CON. These pieces are going to be the most "commemorative" and "memorable" Art that Star Wars has yet to offer to it's timeless fandom that spreads World Wide. Some of the well renown artists on the list to deliver these bedazzling works of Art to our forever expanding community are: Cat Staggs, Grant Gould, Terese Nielsen, Tom Hodges, Joe Corroney, and Steve Anderson; just to name a few of the greatest of the Great Talents that have been and are working diligently around the clock to please their fans (Us).

So what exciting news, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya. As I said above, Lucasfilm has been releasing some "previews" to the public. One of which, was Mr. Anderson's beautiful piece of Anakin and Vader. It is electrifying, this piece is drenched in color! From Vader's glowing, crimson red saber to Anakin's hypnotic, gleaming blue blade....completely enriched...mesmerizing.

Well, I had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Anderson thru Myspace, he is a wonderful and generous man to say the least. After leaving countless commentaries on his past pieces of phenomenal art work, he in turn left me a surprising compliment as well. He, Mr. Anderson, has taken the time from his busy schedule to actually read a segment or two (not really sure of the exact amount) of my "Forbidden Love" fan-fiction. Come to find out, he liked it! He liked it enough to ask "Me" if I would consider writing a caption / Introduction to his Celebration 4 piece! Of course I accepted, this was/is like a "Dream Come True" for me. As a good friend said to me after hearing my good news, " You have taken your first steps into a larger world." ( Gotta love the Geek in all of our Star Wars friends, LOL) Ok, so without further ado....here it is:

" As a Hero falls, a Soul is shrouded by Darkness and a Galaxy crumbles in the clutches of the Empire's most Fearsome Tool, The Iron Fist; Darth Vader." written by, Viagoangel2

As an adoring fan of Star Wars, I couldn't be any closer to my one true passion than I am right now (well, maybe a little closer if I were to act along-side Hayden Christensen!).

As a hopeful and someday, inspiring writer, I am truly humbled and honored to have been given such a wonderful gift.....a "once in a lifetime opportunity." Thank you, Steve Anderson, you have brought me so close to something I hold so dear to my heart.

Here's to Celebrating 30 years of Star Wars!

Thanks to all of YOU, for being here with me today to share in my happiness of this momentous and memorable moment of my life! ((((HUGS))))) ~Angel~

Oh Angel! I have goosebumps!! Congratulations!!

You must have been over-the-moon when Steve Anderson contacted you.
Mr. Anderson's work is mesmerizing and your caption, of course, is perfect.

I went into this blind. I had nothing as a visual

So you had to draw on your fantasies as a reference?!

No, that probably wouldn't have been the kind of caption that he was looking for.

Now get to work on some more FAN FICTION!

ME NEED MORE ANAKIN!!

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

This couldn't have happened to a sweeter individual, angel. (Now, go treat yourself to a piece of sweet, silky, cocoa colored delight we all know and love. You deserve it!

)

Angel, SW artwork is my weakness, and I undoubtedly will come home with more than I should. (We've pretty much run out of wall space!) I will make it a point to snare one of the SA/VA-captioned prints. I will find room for it upon my return!

Congrats, angel! Bask in your wonderful news!

is there somewhere we can see the print before C-4?

g-w, I'm pretty sure it was posted a week, maybe two weeks, ago. Look through the CIV news archives. You should be able to espy it before landing in LA.

Divine intervention, I tells ya. Some people are just lucky - but you, Angel, are not just lucky, but very deserving of such an honour. Rather than just your first steps in a larger world, it is the larger world finally catching up with you. In this case, one established forerunner meeting another - and joining forces.

Some people are just lucky - but you have more than plain luck, you've got talent and skill. Congrats, heavenly girl.

It feels so cool to know a fellow fan from their humble beginnings before they begin their "walk" towards their destiny. Thank you! Just hope it's not a long walk off of a short pier

If it does don't forget I've been telling you that all along Golden Boy, how could I possibly ever forget YOU?

Congrats, Angel. That piece will be one that I will have to acquire during the convention. I LOVE Star Wars Art pieces. Although, I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention probably the most important SW artist, that being Ralph McQuarrie himself. It was, after all, his work that convinced the studio to produce SW to begin with.

Again, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS.

Here is a link to the article that shows the picture that Angel was able to write about.

You go, girl!

And may I add, that I went into this blind.
Now, that's really impressive. Like anakinside1already pointed out, your caption fits the image so well that it's hard to believe you didn't see it before hand. "Impressive. Most impressive."

I bet your involvement makes this the most sought after print among the online fans. It sounds like you'll need to get your own autograph booth. I'm still waiting to see if I get the time off work, but if I make it to CIV, I'll be looking to get the print and to get your autograph.

date Posted: Apr 12, 2007 12:02 AM Wow, that's incredibly cool! Way to go! (well, maybe a little closer if I were to act along-side Hayden Christensen!) I don't think that's exactly the same type of passion...
