Cool Stuff: Kevin Tong’s ‘Empire Strikes Back’ And ‘Return Of The Jedi’ Lightsaber Duel Prints
There are endless pieces of collectible artwork paying tribute toStar Wars, but there are always some that stand out from the rest of the pack. A couple of those distinctive pieces will be available on sale later today.
Kevin Tongis one of the more celebrated artists in the realm of pop culture artwork, and today he’s delivered two newStar Warsprints commemorating each of the lightsaber battles that take place between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader inThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi. Each print by itself is gorgeous enough, but they also compliment each other perfectly.
Check out the Kevin TongStar Warsprints after the jump.
Here’s “Cloud City Duel” recreating the lightsaber fight fromThe Empire Strikes Back:
And here’s “Death Star II Duel” recreating the lightsaber fight fromReturn of the Jedi:
Both prints are 24x36 screen prints with a hand-numbered edition of 275 each, and you’ll have to shell out $60 for each of them. Part of me only wantsThe Empire Strikes Backprint, but thatReturn of the Jedione would just look so great right next to it.
