Art Notes

The Alderaan™ Cruiser carrying Princess Leia Organa™, who is on a diplomatic mission, has been stopped by the Empire. Led by Darth Vader™, the Stormtroopers have blasted their way onto the cruiser and have started their search for the stolen plans for the Emperor’s new weapon, the Death Star™. Darth Vader is aware that the file had been transmitted to this ship, but unaware that Princess Leia has uploaded those plans into R2-D2™ along with her plea: “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi™. You’re My Only Hope”.

To escape the battle, C-3PO™ and R2-D2 had taken refuge in an escape pod and now find themselves stranded on the sands of Tatooine™. Not clear on the safest path to take, C-3PO and R2-D2 go in separate directions, but both are captured by scavenging Jawas™. Sold by the Jawas to Uncle Owen, Luke Skywalker™ has the task to clean up the Droids before they start work on the farm. While Luke is removing carbon scoring from R2-D2, he notices something jammed inside and when Luke tries to remove it the hologram of Princess Leia’s plea to Obi-Wan Kenobi starts to intermittently play. Thomas Kinkade Studios® is pleased to present You’re My Only Hope.
