In this project, we were given the task of creating either our own set of trading cards, our own infographic, or our own board game. In class, we were shown multiple examples of all of the projects and I saw one that stood out to me. I saw one project of the different houses in the HBO show Game of Thrones. That project gave me the inspiration to do something similar. So I decided to think about what interests me and, I realized that I enjoy the Star Wars franchise, and I wanted to do something about that. I started off by making the three movies from the original trilogy. In each picture, I wanted to combine multiple famous shots into one big image.
In the first card, I wanted to make an image about A New Hope, the first movie in the original trilogy. I decided to create one of the most famous shots in the entire series of Luke Skywalker staring at the twin suns of Tatooine. Along with luke outside of his home, I included his two new droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, looking at Luke as he looks at the suns. After I made that scene, I realized that I wanted to include more, so in the sky, I decided to put the opening scene to the movie with a Star Destroyer chasing down Princess Leia’s Ship. And to make this a trading card I traced the logo for A New Hope and put it in the corner similar to a logo.
In the next card, I made the second movie, The Empire Strikes Back. In this card, I included the famous duel between Luke and Darth Vader on the planet of Bespin. The big city in the middle is known is Cloud City and I included the opening battle on Hoth inside of the city’s silhouette. Lastly, I included a small Cloud Car in the bottom left and also the Millennium Falcon in the top left. Again I included the logo of the movie in the bottom right corner.
Concluding the original trilogy, I made the card for Return of the Jedi. In this card, I decided to include scenery from the forest moon of Endor. In the scenery, I included many trees, a shield generator, and an AT-ST. At the top, I made the scene of Luke and Darth Vader fighting for the second time, this time in the Emporers Throne Room on the Second Death Star. And to conclude the image I placed a silhouette of the Second Death Star in the top right.
After I made the original trilogy, I wanted to do more, and that’s why I created the prequel trilogy. I started off with the first movie, The Phantom Menace. In this image, I included three of the battles that took place. Starting from the bottom I created the battle of the Gungans and the battle droids on Naboo. In the middle of the image, I created the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Darth Maul. Atop the image, I created the fight in space of the Naboo Starfighters trying to destroy the Separatist Battle Station.
Next, I created the second movie in the trilogy, Attack of t battles that took place in the movie. At the bottom, I created the battle arena, where Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, and Padme Amidala where being surrounded by battle droids and bounty hunter Jango Fett. In the middle, I created the movie’s most iconic fight of Yoda versus Count Dooku. And atop the image, I created Obi-Wan chasing down Jango and his son Boba through an asteroid field.
Lastly, I created the final movie of the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith. In this image, I included four different battles that took place throughout the movie. In the bottom right, I created the end of the fight between Anakin and Count Dooku. In the bottom left, I created the battle between Obi-Wan and General Grevious. At the top of the image, I created the opening scene of Anakin and Obi-Wan’s Starfighters trying to board general Grevious’s Capital Ship. And in the middle, I created the most iconic fight in the Star Wars Universe. I created Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting on the volcanic planet of Mustafar.
