I had the pleasure of meeting Randy Martinez, a wonderfully talented artist from Hollywood, California, a while before Episode I was released, back in the days when the Internet was still young and adventurous. Randy’s come a long way since the old days of Star Wars fandom, creating pieces for popular magazines and newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, plus official pieces for Lucasfil and other companies. Not only has he done work for the now defunct Star Wars Kids magazine, but you’ve seen his his cartoons gracing the pages of the Star Wars Insider. I figured it was time for a proper interview.

Check Out This Episode VII Fan Made Poster
While poking around Facebook, I came across some really cool fan-made artwork by a guy named Adam Schickling. It was posted by a site called Following The Nerd. It has a great Drew Struzan feel to it and does a good job of representing what Episode VII might look like with the now-older lead actors. It was too cool not to share.
