Andree Wallin is a concept artist at Lucasfilm and finds the time to freelance via Blur Studio too. He’s worked on projects like Godzilla and Oblivion and the latter sci-fi is where I first encountered his work.

Wizards of the Coast’s owners, Hasbro, deny Disney rumours

November 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

After the news of Disney buying Lucasfilm and beginning work on three more Star Wars films there were whispers that Disney was also interested in buying Hasbro. Buying Hasbro would make some sense for Disney because of the rights the toy company owns. For example, with Marvel on board Disney has a modern day Universe […]

Star Wars: 1313 – new Star Wars film coming?

May 4, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

To finish off Star Wars Day is a rumour… a rumour with some backbone. Screen Rant interviewed director Joe Johnston and discovered that he was trying to get George Lucas to make another Star Wars film. In particular, Johnston was trying to get permission to make a Star Wars film about Boba Fett. Nothing was […]

Stormtroopers now legal: Courts defeat Lucas

July 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Impressive Star Wars galaxy map

February 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This map is worth checking out. It’s not often you get sci-fi maps and even less often do they attempt to chart out a whole galaxy. That whole maps are 2d and galaxies are 3d thing tends to be the problem. Back in 2009 Dark House and LucasFilms tackled this challenge for Star Wars: The […]
