Star Wars Celebration Anaheim-Exclusive Art Prints Available For Preorder

With just weeks before Star Wars Celebration in California, artists are offering their convention-exclusive art prints for preorder online already.

Hundreds of artists were considered for the Star Wars Celebration Art Show, and in the end Lucasfilm and the panel of judges selected 35 to create illustrations for the event.

Some of the artists chosen are known for their work in film and special effects while a handful like Alex Ross, Cat Staggs, Katie Cook and Ken Lashley are recognizable for their work in comic books.

Above and below, you can see a couple of posters from the duo of Joe Corroney and Hi-Fi color design's Brian Miller, who frequently collaborate on cover illustrations for sci-fi comics like The X-Files, Ghostbusters, Star Trek and Doctor Who as well as Star Wars art for book covers, Star Wars Insider magazine, Topps trading cards, and Star Wars collectibles for ACME Archives.

Joe Corroney and Brian Miller each chose depicted Darth Vader in their Star Wars Celebration exclusive illustrations, titled "The Inquisitor's Gift" & "Remember the Death Star." While Corroney's is a glamor shot of the character basking in victory, Miller's is designed to look like a propaganda post for the Empire, playing up the "tragedy" of the loss of the first Death star.

"Darth Vader is my favorite Star Wars character and hands down my favorite character to illustrate. But I hadn't yet done a print for Celebration that just focused on him," Corroney said in a statement.

"I wanted Darth Vader to be larger than life and more of an iconic representation of the Empire," said Miller. "In a similar vein to how Uncle Sam was portrayed in many propaganda posters. They type and design elements were chosen to serve as a powerful recruitment tool for the Empire".

Both artists will be attending Star Wars Celebration Anaheim April 16 -19 where their artwork will be featured in the Celebration Art Show. A limited number of official Lucasfilm prints of the artwork are being made available exclusively for attendees as well.

As officially licensed Lucasfilm artists Joe Corroney and Brian Miller also participate in Celebration programming for the fans. Corroney will be sketching Star Wars characters at Booth #1111 and Miller will be participating in the Star Wars Kids art program. Kids can learn how to draw droids with Miller during the "Drawing R2-D2 and Friends" event on Sunday.

Star Wars Celebration Anaheim runs April 16-19. Fans will find Joe Corroney and Brian Miller appearing at at booth #1111 during the event.
