CHARACTER/TOY MINI-BIO: "Strong-willed and courageous, Princess Leia Organa believes fervently in the cause of freedom and becomes an inspiring leader of the Rebel Alliance. The adopted daughter of the diplomat Bail Organa, Leia uses her leadership skills, royal connections and position in the Senate to provide the Rebels with whatever they need, from equipment to stolen enemy plans. Her stern demeanor is all that most people see of this dedicated woman, until a flashy rogue captain steals her heart and reveals the passionate, romantic soul within this warrior princess. When the life of her newfound love is in jeopardy, Leia calls upon the fierce determination that has carried her safely through many challenges and dangers. She overcomes brutal obstacles and the humiliating punishment of becoming a vile warlord's slave, to rescue her love from a hideous death. Blazing with intensity and always ready to take action, Princess Leia battles dark intrigue and enemy forces as she helps lead the brave band of Rebels to a glorious victory and a lasting peace in the galaxy."

CALCULATED CRUELTY & OPPRESSION INCARNATE: DARTH SIDIOUS, DARK LORD OF THE SITH.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on "STAR WARS: Unleashed” Series 3 Darth Sidious six inch premium action figure/statuette card artwork by Clark Mitchell, released by Hasbro® in July 2003.

BOX DESCRIPTION: "Darth Sidious is a chilling specter of evil who casts his oppressive shadow over the galaxy. Long ago, before war shattered the Republic, Darth Sidious rose to power under an unassuming identity, using political machinations and the dark side of the Force to place himself in a position in which he could wield unlimited power. He worked in small, unseen steps to foment discord and incite greed so that these divisive forces would corrode the peace that had unified the galaxy.

PART II: Succeeding in this Machiavellian task, Sidious began to build his terrible empire upon the crushed remnants of the Jedi Order and the shattered remains of the war-torn galaxy. Just when his control of the dark side of the Force seemed insurmountable, the completion of his corrupt conquest was torn from his grasp by the redemptive power of a father's love for his son."

"IDENTICAL SOLDIERS PRODUCED IN A WORLD OF CLINICAL EFFICIENCY, CLONE TROOPERS ARE CREATED FOR ONLY ONE PURPOSE -- BATTLE."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a print ad for the 2004 "STAR WARS Unleashed" Series 3 "Battle of Geonosis" Clone Trooper, the figure itself, and the packaging art illustrated by Clark Mitchell for Hasbro.

MINI-BIO: "Identical soldiers produced in a world of clinical efficiency, Clone Troopers are created for only one purpose -- battle. Every fiber of their being, every thought in their minds, every muscle in their bodies is infused with the capability and desires to be warriors. Through genetic engineering and military training, Clone Troopers are molded to be the ideal soldiers.

And, indeed, the source of their genetic material comes from an extremely skilled fighter, the legendary bounty hunter Jango Fett. The clone experience accelerated growth and relentles training to shape them into superior soldiers totally subservient to authority.

Devoid of individuality, identity and independence, Clone Troopers fight with complete and unquestioning dedication. They pour onto the battlefield, relentless warriors who do not falter but instead keep marching forward, without pause or pity for their fallen comrades. In a desperate hour, the Clone Troopers are called to perform the job for which they have been created, when war erupts in the galaxy."

MINI-OVERVIEW: "From the moment he witnessed the brutal death of his father in the first battle of the Clones Wars, Bona Fett has dealt with the injustices and vagaries of life in a cold, calculating manner. Encased in armor and hidden behind a battle helmet, Fett has cut himself off from the universe, protecting himself from the dangers of his work as a bounty hunter, and also, perhaps, from the pain of loving or losing anyone else dear to him."

You asked on this post if anyone knew the artist. So I did some checking and discovered who it was. BUT I searched and searched and could not find a larger version of that piece but could easily do so on all his other works! Well today I was randomly browsing on VK and this popped up.
