Okay, since the Phantom Menace came out, we seen a lot of parodys as well as production tie-ins on the movie. I didn't like the film too much, personally. Despite Natalie Portman's wonderful performance and the SFX, it still lacked that magic from the original trilogy.
Never known to let a good idea go to waste, I tried to do some Ep 1 crossovers. I already did one earlier with some mixed-feelings on it. But this was something I liked. Jasmine replacing Maul. The "logic"?
Well, Jasmine was one that could hold her own in a fight. In
the series, she was a capible fighter with a sword and a whip. So
the idea of her with a double-bladed lightsaber wasn't too much
of a stretch for me
I hope in the future to get some Natlie Portman pics of her as the Queen (Or the Handmaiden...;-) for future use.
The work on this was considerable for me. I had to *tint* most of the black out to get the robe a nice brownish color. Then I had to squeeze the pic closer to get the right body porportions. Maul was *way* too wide for Jasmine's frame. Then I used a pic of her with the "street mouse" coustume, the "loop around" of her scarf was a personal touch that I liked. I wanted it to loop around her completley and have it "join up" in front. But it was too visually distracting so I cut it out. The final touches was to change the color of the lightsaber's blade to a violet.
