Inside Aquliae Base hangar bay
30th March 2012 |
| Leia Solo leads her brother, Master Jedi Luke Skywalker, into the vast cavern complex that makes up Aquilae Base on the ocean world of Mon Calamar. |
| The two starfighters flit across the moored and docked spacecraft below. The natural properties of the coral above their heads scrambles all probing comscan sweeps, thus creating the perfect defence against the Imperial Empire. Although the planet is now well-known to the remnants of the Empire since the climactic days of the Second Death Star, there are so many coral islands that it is not valid for the resource-limited Imperials to mount a major attack. Of course, Emperor Mas Amedda has in the meantime been concocting a dastardly and nefarious plan of his own..... |

In early March, we heard the sad news of the passing of Ralph McQuarrie. Reported at TFN and BBC, and with some words from George Lucas himself, Ralph was instrumental from the very beginning to visualise Lucas' wild imaginings for his "space opera", creating a look and style that pervaded all six feature film episodes, and in fact continues to inspire the concept artists of the current Clone Wars series too.

And finally, in late March, another (!) padawan arrived, Martha. At this rate, I'll be able to open a Jedi Academy and call a Council to order !!
