Greatness! Love the picture!

Han was all about shot placement when he smoked Greedo though.

Re: Obi-Wan carries a 1911
The only problem I see with the image is the bore is too small - more like 9mm rather than .45. And we all know Old Ben wouldn't've carried a nine (but maybe Vader).

Re: Obi-Wan carries a 1911
Ok, not knowing anything about the history of cinema, I had to look this up. The Star Wars Jedi theme was based on the history of the sword wielding samurai.AndyC wrote:Art by Loren Michki - as he says: Did you know that Obiwan Kenobi carried a 1911? “An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age”
The classic Japanese samurai film genre is best represented by the movie "Yojimbo", directed by Akira Kurosawa. It concerned the wanderings of a masterless samurai.
This Japanese film was remade in the Leone film "A Fistful of Dollars", featuring Eastwood in his first incarnation as the Man with no Name, in 1964. Eastwood's character carried a Colt Single Action Army.
Therefore, Obiwan Knobe would have carried a revolver.

Re: Obi-Wan carries a 1911
Darth Vader carried a Glock 41 with a 26 round stick magazine. Obiwan is dead. Darth Vader killed him. Kenobi’s elegant 1911 was no match for the brutish power of the G41.AndyC wrote:Art by Loren Michki - as he says: Did you know that Obiwan Kenobi carried a 1911? “An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age”

Star Wars. The first movie to come out was good and you ought to see it. Discretion is advised with the rest as they decline from there.pbwalker wrote:Sorry...I know I should know better, but is this Star Trek?
