Darth Vader showing a rarely seen somber moment of grief as he pauses to mourn the loss of the troops that he lost in the destruction of the 1st Deathstar.


This is a piece I did to premier at the Cape Girardeau Comic Con in Cape Girardeau Missouri. It is an homage of sorts to both Lee Teter's "Vietnam Reflections" [link] and to Star Wars.

I wanted to do a Star Wars piece that would stand out from the crowd a bit, so I thought a more somber and emotional piece would be a great contrast to the usual action works that you see. Written in Aurabesh on the memorial wall are the names of family, friends, and loved ones that I and some of my closest friends have lost.

If you are interested in purchasing an 18x24 poster of this piece for 30$ please note me.

So sentimental for one who chokes people worse than Stalin sending people to the Gulag. :)

It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can GET hit, and still keep moving forward.

Great stuff! A better touch would have been Amidala giving him the finger (but that's just me =P)

Very impressive, yet so sad and touching.
It reminds me of the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. =(
