i'm still messing around trying to get the brightness and stuff better, but the intent was to make the helmet look more like a WWII German helmet and just some sense of formality to the uniform to emphasize a sense of superiority in Lord Vader.

My Qui Gon is Asian (based on Ken Watanabe of Last Samurai fame). He still taught Obi Wan, but by the first Episode...Obi Wan will have already been a knight. Qui Gon won't die in the first Episode.

Mace Windu is pretty much the same Mace Windu...just a different appearance. He'd also have a more interesting personality (he's been boring in the first 2 prequels). Aayla Sacura is originally a Twi'lak (the race with 2 tentacles coming out of their heads) but I changed her to a humanoid (Darth Maul's race).

Darth Maul will play a more important role in my version of the prequels. He'll basically be Darth Maul plus Darth Dooku...except he won't have the force lightning power that Dooku has.

That is awesome. I always thought some of Ralph MacQuarrie's vader concept art was better that the final version - yours reminds me a bit of some of that.

I always thought it would be cool in Episode 3 if Anakin became Vader and got some form of the armour BEFORE he had the accident and bacame a cyborg. That armour could have been something like this.

I absolutely love the flattened look of the mask.

The Anakin/Vader with the mask and long hair, well, imagine it with a mask more like DorkyFresh's (sans helmet). In fact imagine DorkyFresh drew all these :)

I've been having this idea for Yoda's clothing (and the clothing of the Jedi Council in general) to mimick that of Hindu and Bhuddist Monks for a while. I'd be interested to see if somebody could render that on paper.

Good....I wanted him to look harmless and peaceful. If a Sith were to come up to him and challenge him, they would underestimate Yoda's abilities based on his looks.

I also gave him darker eyes simply because I like the black eyed look on steretypical aliens (big heads, gray skin, skinny frame, big black eyes) and I wanted to give Yoda the same type of feel snice he IS an alien. My Yoda also has an old wound from a lightsaber battle with the sith before they became nearly extinct.

If I ever get good enough...I'm going to make him in 3d and animate him to fight like Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat's character) from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. He'll be precise and skillful...unlike in Attack of the Clones where he jumps around like a rubber ball. My Yoda will often take out an opposer in less than 3 moves.

That's the thing...my Yoda will never use his lightsaber in a REAL fight, but he WILL use it to teach his pupils and students. My Yoda is so in tuned with the force that even if someone as talented with the lightsaber as Darth Maul or Anakin were to confront him...he could simply hold out his hand and stop them from even moving or getting close enough to slash at him.

n8dogg....your stuff is pretty good. i kinda like your revised Palpatine...but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be his hair or some kinda tattoo or what. The costumes for the Jedi are pretty good. They feel like Jedi even though they're not wearing typical Jedi robes. I like the shoulder pads and chest of Darth Vader...but I'm not too keen on the mask, torso, or belt. Actually...I'm not exactly sure how everything is placed on those parts.

Good work though.

more vader...
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3464/vaderredesign2wq8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

In the past year or so I just sorta thought that if I could re-do the Star Wars universe, I'd do several things differently.

I like the Strong, Silent Darth Vader...very stoic and Frankenstien meets Dr. Doom. However, it doesn't really refect the way Anakin acted before he turned, or made his way over to the darkside.

Basically...he'd be a lot less solid and more fluid. Acrobatics, very fast, yet still strong. Having the odd helmet sort of detracts from articulation and such, so I just sorta got rid of that.

I'd also change the origin of Darth Vader. Instead of the suit being a life-support system, it'd be more of a choice. He'd fallen and was injured. But technology and the force managed to heal him a lot better. Instead of hanging out on a star destroyer or the death star, the imperial base would be located on Mustafar. I figure a final showdown between Obi-Wan and Vader once again on the same planet that ended their friendship would be totally kick-ass. The deathstar would also be a lot smaller, more powerful, and sort of a satalite, controlled from Mustafar.

As for Anakin, he'd still have character. He'd be a lot more talkative, and angry. The helmet/mask would be removeable, though he'd still have scars. He'd wear it for intimidation purposes. And maybe for some sort of reason a la an ancient sith style or whatever.
