    Lee-- You can't go wrong with Tenggren's concept art...some of my favorite. :)

    Tokyo-- Yeah, there's a whole lotta SW topics I hope to cover before the year's over. So the posts are gonna continue at this accelerated rate for a while until I get caught up. I'm still amazed at just how much there is out there.
