Description:
25 years ago, fans eagerly awaited the release of the first Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, hoping it would live up to its predecessor in terms of imagination and scope. To the delight of fans and critics alike, Empire not only served up the Star Wars universe in richer, deeper tones, but also introduced audiences to some of the saga's most memorable attributes.
Characters such as Yoda, Boba Fett, Emperor Palpatine, and Lando Calrissian would debut in Empire, as would settings like Cloud City and the Dagobah swamps, vehicles including AT-ATs, Super Star Destroyers, and Slave I, and signature themes such as the "Imperial March", "Yoda's Theme", and "Han Solo and the Princess". The Empire Strikes Back was a clear indication that the Star Wars saga was classic storytelling at its best, and was here to stay.
To commemorate Empire's silver anniversary, prolific Star Wars artist Matt Busch has composed a striking lithograph showcasing the sinister agents of the sequel trilogy's darkest chapter, paired with the original period Empire logo. Vader and Palpatine dominate a rogue's gallery of Imperial officers, bounty hunters, stormtroopers and snowtroopers, all set against the cool blue tones of Cloud City and Hoth.
Available exclusively at StarWarsShop, each Empire anniversary lithograph will be signed by the artist and numbered from an edition size of just 750.
