#Jedi Princesses

[imaginative-joy]

“In the south rim, there’s a planet way down on the river…”

Jedi Tiana lives in the High Republic era, mainly because I realized that the High Republic aesthetic is inspired by art deco, which was popular in the 1920s. Besides, Tiana is a classy gal, and I felt like the elegant style of the High Republic suited her well. With her irrepressible spirit and ambition, I could easily see her being a Master, or least… she’s almost there…

Meanwhile, Naveen is a little gorg, an amphibious critter native to Tatooine. There have been a lot of depictions of gorgs across Star Wars media, and not everyone can agree on what they look like! So I wound up picking out design elements I thought would work well for Naveen. I liked the tail and spots that are typically seen in the games and movies (Jabba eats a couple of these guys, so I imagine they’re the Star Wars equivalent of frog legs? Which implies that the frog hunters of the movie could be gorg hunters in this version of the story!). Terryl Whitlatch’s design for them features a wide face and tapered webbed feet, which translate well into Naveen’s character design. Also, instead of a ukulele, Naveen is playing a hallikset, like the one Cal plays in Jedi: Fallen Order! Also, I would not be at all surprised if there was some in-universe bedtime story called “The Princess and the Gorg.”

Tiana’s Jedi story isn’t as fleshed out in my mind as some of the other princesses I’ve drawn, but I imagine her being an incredibly hard-working Jedi, always going above and beyond in her assignments (she’s usually assigned to escort and protect Senator LaBouff and his daughter). But, much like Anakin years later, she’s denied the rank of Master. But when a gorg cursed by the dark Force user Facilier promises he can help her become a Master in exchange for a little smooch, Tiana is ready to throw caution to the wind… until she, too, gets transformed into a gorg!

We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) dir. Richard Marquand as motion posters

[imaginative-joy]

"You and the dragon are coming with us, Jedi." "Hmmm... my lightsabers say we're not."

Next in my series of Jedi Princesses: Raya! Raya is a capable warrior, so I envisioned her as a hardened Order 66 survivor, roaming the planet of Kumandra, searching for a fabled Force-being that will unite the land. In her efforts to protect herself from Inquisitors - which include her childhood friend from the Jedi temple, Namaari - I could see her scavenging old Clone Trooper armor and incorporating pieces into her outfit. I looked to prominent Order 66 survivors, Cal Kestis and Ahsoka Tano, for costume inspiration. Ahsoka’s live-action outfit is already very Asian-inspired, so it was easy to draw visual similarities between her costume and Raya’s. And Raya’s cloak translated well into a poncho, of which I hope Cal would approve! Also, her hat came from one that you can see Cast Members at Galaxy's Edge wear!

And I just realized that I’ve drawn the two Jedi Princesses whose actors were in Star Wars: Mulan for Ming-Na Wen, and now Raya for Kelly Marie Tran!

Fun fact: I thought about giving her blue lightsabers, which are typical of Jedi Warriors. But I settled on green because a) it fits her color palette and b) green is associated with Jedi Consulars, who are known to fight mainly to protect... and Raya's people are the guardians of the Dragon Gem.
