The Clone Emperor

20


Ancient Sith Lightsabre

In the tale of Star Wars: Dark Empire, readers were treated to the first tantalizing images of the Emperor Reborn. His evil spirit had survived his body's death and took on corporeal form in one of his lifeless clones created solely for such an occasion.

One newly awakened Clone Emperor is greeted by the rampaging Luke Skywalker--who is set upon destroying all of the Emperor's Clones. To defend himself from Luke's blade, the Clone Emperor reaches for the first lightsabre in reach, one of many trophies adorning the cloning facility walls--the blue-bladed sabre of a murdered and nameless Jedi.

My sabre hilt is an original design. With this form I tried to express the essence of The Clone Emperor; evocative, viscous, and twisted.

Reborn once more!
