After the conversation we had about the Old Star Wars and how great they are, we re-watched "The Empire Strikes Back". It is as great as ever, even better, because my English is so much better then the last time I watched it and I can appreciate the humor much better. I should post about it properly and tell how much I loved the elephant-like snow tanks (which were apparently made to resemble Norwegian snow tanks), but I made the icons and I can't wait to post them. They are minimalistic and mostly of Leia who is beyond awesome and is my favourite female character of the moment. Because she is so strong and beautiful and loyal.

Icons are free to share ,if you like I will make customizations, like text and etc., for you.

Thank you so much, dear! I am always so happy when you like my icons - your taste is so impeccable!

I had a wall-paper of Yoda on my computer for many years. :D

YAY! This feels a little like a Christmas present in advance! Such lovely, lovely icons - and from my favorite Star Wars movie. I'm taking a whole bunch. :D especially the Leia and Han and Leia ones. *happy sigh* I'm getting all nostalgic here.

I loved the elephant-like snow tanks (which were apparently made to resemble Norwegian snow tanks

*g* And did you know that the ice planet Hoth is actually Norway? Or more precisely a place called Finse on the railway line between Bergen and Oslo? I pass it each time I visit my parents. And the rebels fighting in the snow are volunteers from the local Red Cross. It's a Norwegian claim to fame. ;D

This makes me so happy. I adore all the facts like this. Just think, you could have volunteered! And now every time I see the film I am going to think "this is where [livejournal.com profile] baleanoptera lives :D. Ice planet Hoth is one of my favourite bits!!

Thank you so much, dear! I used some of your curve layers here, but added a couple more, just a little. It is always easier with the DVD screencaps!

These are fantastic! I especially love the Leia icons - your framing's great on all of them, but for some reason she comes out looking extra-great.

What's doubly fantastic is that I had literally just opened my browser to check my flist and ... go in search of original trilogy screencaps to make icons from. Great minds think alike, eh?

Thank you! We just had a chat two days ago how fabulous "The Empire Strikes Back" and the other parts of the Original Trilogy are. They didn't seem to age! I think holiday time is when I remember about good golden oldies like this.

Thank you very much! I didn't do much with the colouring, just added a couple of the curve layers. When films are so visually rich like "Star Wars" it seems to be a shame to spoil them! ** Star Wars love inserted **

From: [identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com
Oh, no problem! I have only got "The Empire Strikes back" and he is there mostly in a vision, but I will check if I can do something, he was standing quite clearly in some scenes!!! May be you have a favourite screencap or something? If not, I will try to find "Star Wars", but it will be more likely after Christmas.

Excellent work! I'm snagging 1, 8, 10 and 11. I might take one of the Obi-wan you put in a comment. I will definitly credit you.

TESB is my favorite Star Wars movie. It had everything a great movie should have. Monsters, fleeing heros, romance, bounty hunters, villians, grand battles, old wise beings, betrayal, life or death choices, lightsaber duels, a frozen dead planet, a swamp, a haunted cave.

Who couldn't love all that??

I did a poll last week and (not surprisingly) this is still most popular episode of "Star Wars". EEEE! After 26 years!!!

I like this idea, but good job Luke got his mother's looks. :D

But I loooove Darth Vader. It is one of my biggest evil hero/redemption crushes. :D
