Star Wars Paper Snowflakes of Empire with Darth Vader

When Ethan cut a paper snowflake that faintly resembled a Storm Trooper, his mother took the idea and ran with it. The result is this Darth Vader snowflake and another with Bobba Fett and a Clone Trooper. Link

Star Wars expanded universe, Dark Horse Comics
When it comes to the comic book side of the Star Wars expanded universe, Dark Horse Comics has made a name for itself as the home of original, creative tales that enrich the franchise and build on existing mythology in the most fan-friendly ways.
Last year, we brought you the exclusive announcement of "Star Wars: Knight Errant," another addition to the publisher's long list of ongoing and limited Star Wars series. Today, we bring you the exclusive news of a brand new title hitting shelves in May: "Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side."
Featuring a story by Scott Allie and art by Mahmud Asrar (interior/cover) and Stéphane Roux (variant cover), "The Dark Side" follows Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Liam Neeson in "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace") as he's dispatched to prevent a civil war on the homeworld of Xanatos, the Padawan he trained before Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I spoke to Allie about the series, how it differs from previous Star Wars stories, and some of the familiar faces that readers will see along the way.
MTV NEWS: There are a lot of Star Wars out there, and a lot more of them are written every day. What sets "Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side" apart from other Star Wars stories?
SCOTT ALLIE: We wanted to tell a story with a lone hero out on the edge of space, not dealing with these big galactic concerns, but having adventures on a much more personal level.
MTV: How did you settle on Qui-Gon Jinn for the main character?
ALLIE: We were looking for a Clint Eastwood-type of character. It's always better if you can have it tie into the Star Wars films, to connect with readers, but Luke's story and so many other characters' are bound up in continuity. After discussing it for a while, Randy Stradley - our Star Wars editor here - said there's a character whose story is tied into Darth Vader's back story, which is really the backbone of the whole Star Wars mythology, that might be a good fit: Qui-Gon.
MTV: Given what we know of Qui-Gon's history already, where will this story fit in with his overall character arc?
ALLIE: Well, Qui-Gon makes sense because it's easy to look at Episode I and wonder what he was doing 10 or 15 years earlier. We're going back to an early part of his story and telling a pretty important part of the shaping of Qui-Gon as a Jedi Master.
MTV: So he'll be a Jedi Master at this point?
ALLIE: Yeah, he's already become a Jedi and a Master - he has a Padawan at this point.
MTV: How big of a story do you have planned? Is there a chance it could become an ongoing series?
ALLIE: We're doing five issues to start, and we have a longer story sketched out, but I'm not sure if we'll treat it as an ongoing or a miniseries.
MTV: I have to ask this, because I know you as the guy who handles all of the Joss Whedon books at Dark Horse, too: Was it a bit daunting to jump into another wide-reaching universe and adding to such a massively popular mythology? Are you a closet Star Wars geek and I didn't know it?
ALLIE: [Laughs] I'm not, but I have a 5-year-old son, so I watched the prequel movies way more than a lot of guys my age. My son loves them so much, and we've watched Episodes 1-3 over and over. I know them backwards and forwards. There's also a series of young adult novels called "Jedi Apprentice," about Obi-Wan when he's young and training with Qui-Gon. i've read a bunch of them to my son, and it's been both "good dad" service and research at the same time.
Still, there's so much stuff to know — even at this period when there's not many existing stories. I can't know everything, but fortunately between Randy and the folks at Lucasfilm, they're not going to miss a beat.
MTV: You mentioned the desire to tie things into the movie universe. Will we see any of the other popular staples of the movies? The Sith, perhaps?
ALLIE: No Sith, no. For the Star Wars movie stuff to be meaningful, it has to be special, and the Sith can't be popping up every story. Yoda is in the first issue, giving the mission to the Jedi who are about to set out. There are a bunch of Jedi Council members who would've been around at this time, and something you don't know from watching the movies but you find out if you dig into the expanded unverse, is that Qui-Gon was actiually trained by Count Dooku. My kid loves Count Dooku, and I love Christopher Lee, so it's cool that i'm dealing with Christopher Lee's character. He'll play into the story at some point. Mace Windu and Yoda and others were around at the time, too.
MTV: What about accessibility? Will someone like me, who likes a good Star Wars comic but hasn't read all the expanded universe novels, know what's going on?
ALLIE: A while back, I wrote the first four issues of our long-running "Star Wars: Empire" series. With that, the idea was to make it right for the Star Wars readers who know everything and will find things wrong with it anyways, but really write it for the millions of people who know the films and don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the other stuff. It's my goal not to do anything in these books that you can't immediately get into. There's nothing I want to read that needs to have a huge bag of knowledge to get through page one, and that's not how I'm writing this, either.

darth vader tutti frutti mask mascara tutti fruti
KINGSBRIDGE HEIGHTS — If Darth Vader was spawned a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Ghetto Vader came into being five years ago in Southern California, under the influence of drugs.
It was then that the Bronx-born DJ, rapper and graffiti artist realized that, at age 35, he stood no closer to fame or fortune than he had as a teenager in the 1980s, when he first began to spray and scratch.
Out of ideas, he turned to hallucinogenic drugs. Suddenly, a vision appeared — Darth Vader’s iconic, bug-eyed helmet covered in bright, psychedelic street art.
Five years, two albums, shows in a half-dozen countries and 200 painted masks later, Ghetto Vader is a full-fledged Jedi Knight, given to the weird side of the Force, who has returned to The Bronx to make music and art for the open-minded.
“People aren’t going to be bopping to it in the clubs and remembering the lyrics,” Vader, 40, said outside his mother’s condo, where he has been living since June. “But people dressed up in costumes — they’ll like it.”
Vader, whose persona involves concealing his legal name and his face, grew up in a high-rise near the prestigious Bronx High School of Science. That he wasn’t admitted into Bronx Science proved to be a blessing — Vader attended nearby John F. Kennedy High School, where 80s hip-hop culture was flourishing.
Before long, Vader was trekking downtown to all-ages rap shows and spraying his tag — SPX, for “special perceptions xceptions” — across the city. When he was 16, he “interned” for a renowned graffiti artist who airbrushed clothes in the back of a Westchester Square shop that sold cutting-edge rap records.
“That stuff like touched my heart,” Vader said about the heyday of Bronx hip-hop. “It stained my brain.”
In his 20s, Vader moved to California, where he scoped out the West Coast rap scene while he worked in clothing design and, later, produced skateboard videos. He also continued to experiment with music, sampling beats with an early four-track cassette mixer.
But by his 30s, with a wife and three children, he began to feel like he had squandered his talents as an artist. So he ingested some peyote and, in a cloud of aerosol, created Ghetto Vader — a one-man production team, performance artist and brand.
