First up tonight, we have some great new Darth Maul concept art, courtesy of sldaly! There are both brand new drawings as well as better versions of stuff I already had up. Here are the new ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. These are obviously the very early renderings of Maul and I find them really interesting as you get to see part of the artist's progression in creating the character. Thanks so much, sldaly!

Also, I've finished up a much-needed overhaul of the Sleeveless Outfit page, adding both new and better quality behind the scenes pictures and screencaps.
Here are some of my favorites: Running, with Anakin, love the hair!, on the ship.
I absolutely love this costume, I've decided. I love the color, the material, the contrasting straps, the gold ornaments, the gauntlets with the Naboo symbol embroidered, etc, etc, etc. And the hairstyle is one of my favorites. I just love it all!

Okay, so this begins another really busy week for me. As I said before, my sister's wedding is this week so I'll be gone for most of it and probably won't update again till next Monday. However, I have mostly finished another update so I will try and steal enough time to post it later in the week! But if I can't, have a great week everyone!

Well tomorrow is the first day of summer, so I've changed up the site's banner and colors to be a bit more cheery and fun. I hope you like the new look - I'm really happy with how it turned out. If any of you are having trouble seeing the new banner, let me know! Sometimes I forget to make a few necessary changes for certain browsers.

Additionally, I've added a new section to the site: Comics! So far, I have Padme and Leia up though more will follow! I love looking at comic art to see how the characters and costumes from the movies are depicted, not to mention new costumes from the Expanded Universe. However, I don't buy or read comics, so a huge thank you to Padme_anakinfangirl and Czech Star Wars Universe for the scans!

Wow, I'm updating! Sorry again, everyone, for the delay! As I said before, this has just been a crazy busy month for me. And while I'm finally settling in after my move, now my beloved big sister is getting married next week and we have guests coming in just a few days and things are June has just been a bit crazy for me! But anyways, I really appreciate everyone's patience and I'm going to do my best to get a couple updates up this week before the wedding.

For tonight, all I have is a new poll. I was watching Return of the Jedi while I was unpacking (I'm a dork - trust me, I know) and I was thinking about the whole Luke and Leia twin thing. Now George Lucas has always claimed he had planned to make them siblings, but I honestly go back and forth about whether or not I believe that (tending to favor "Yeah right, George"). So I was curious to see what you all thought about it! So go let me know to your right!

And here are the results from the last poll:
Which TPM Padme headress/hairstyle is your favorite? [288 votes total]
Throne Room (34) 12%
Escape from Naboo (5) 2%
Flame Gown (4) 1%
Tatooine Peasant (68) 24%
Pre-Senate (53) 18%
Senate (33) 11%
Post-Senate (8) 3%
Return to Naboo (6) 2%
Battle Dress (30) 10%
Parade Gown (47) 16%

I was actually really surprised - pleasantly, of course - that the Tatooine Peasant style won! I thought it was going to be something more like the Pre-Senate Gown or Parade Gown, but I'm happy with the results! So with this, we know all the Padme favorites from the movies! Here's they are:
Phantom Menace - Gown: Parade Gown, Hair: Tatooine Peasant
Attack of the Clones - Gown: Villa Retreat, Hair: Meadow Picnic
Revenge of the Sith - Gown and Hair: Water Gown

Hey guys, just wanted to give you all an update on what's going on. This past week was insanely busy for me with finals, graduation, packing up and moving home and a short illness. So I haven't had much time for the site, obviously! But I'm home now and settling in and will have an update either later tonight or tomorrow!

The newest addition to the site is Jedi Master Luminara Unduli! I've always loved Luminara's costume and I'm happy to finally be adding her! Here are some of the best pictures:

From Dressing a Galaxy: With lightsaber, Hands up
From Chronicles: Full-length
And I just love this behind the scenes shot of four Jedi Masters just chillin'. There are many more pictures on the page itself so be sure to check them out!

Also, I'm sure you all remember the gorgeous Jason Palmer Padme print I posted about before. I was contacted by Jason Palmer Studios to pass on the word that the prints will still be available for one more week and if you buy one, you get the companion sketchbook for free! You can purchase it here. It's a beautiful print and I hope some of you are able to buy it - I most definitely would if I wasn't about to graduate college and be poor!

I haven't updated the fan art in over a month, so this is going to be a huge post! Apologies to everyone who sent in work that it's taken so long for me to add it. But before the fan art, I would like to welcome OB[I]session as SWFFAQ's newest affiliate! It's a great Hungarian (I believe) site dedicated to Obi-Wan, and even if you can't understand it, it has a nice gallery and download section! And Siyara Jinn has made an absolutely gorgeous June wallpaper for the site. Thanks so much, Siyara!

I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but I've completely overhauled the Parade Gown page. Pretty much every picture is a better version now, and there a bunch of new pictures too, like these promo pictures (1, 2) and these stills/caps (1, 2). And I just love this picture - it's so cute!

Also, I've made some screencaps from the new Clone Wars 3D trailer. I think it looks really promising and I like the white outfit a lot (the little we can see of it at least!)

Gray with swirls: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - And look closely at her headdress. Neat detail, huh?
White Outfit: 1, 2

I've started a new Clone Wars 3D page to put these pictures, and while there aren't many now, I'm looking forward to adding more in the future! Thanks to Padme_AmidalaSkywalker for some of those caps!!

And thanks to the wonderful Ande from the Royal Handmaiden Society, here are some pictures of the two Padme costumes on display at Celebration IV!

Return Home: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - Isn't the cloak just amazingly gorgeous? I love it.
Senate Address: 1, 2, 3

Thanks, Ande! And speaking of Celebration IV, JediJen, the wonderful webmiss of AAHA, has a request for any of you that went to CIV: "If you were one of the few who dressed up as Amidala/Padme or Anakin/Vader, or saw someone at the convention and took a picture of them in costume, send them in! I'd like to create a new section on AAHA featuring Amidala/Padme & Anakin/Vader costumes from Celebration IV. You may email me up to two photos per costume." If you have any pictures, be sure to send them in to JediJen!

And we can't forget, it's now June! That means a fabulous June calender from Annarwaya! Beautiful! And as a reminder, Annarwaya has a Star Wars challenge up at her wallpaper challenge site. There are only a few more days left, so get your submissions in!

Whew, there's been a lot of stuff tonight. One last thing just for fun, check out Paul McCartney's new music video featuring Natalie Portman. Thanks for the heads up, Cristina! The next update is going to be a massive fan art post, so if you've sent something in and it hasn't been posted yet, it will be soon!!
