Objective:

Create a graphic depicting a scene in Star Wars that hooked you into the Star Wars Universe and never let go. We all have these scenes. The ones that made us make strange noises, dance up and down, rewatch them relentlessly and urged us to make horribly awesome real-life replicas (I had so many lightsaber cardboard tube battles, which shouldn't surprise anyone.) This moment was special and may have even made you join a Star Wars club. :D

Share that child-like joy with us in a picture. Feel free to add porgs to it if you want. You can even add a depiction to how you reacted. Here is some inspiration for you below, please give it a watch. It's rather short, I promise.

Inner Star Wars Child

Optionally, some artists like to give a short blurb to pair with their art piece. This gives the viewer a background to the piece or why they chose to draw it. You don't have to do it and it has no bearing on grading, but if you don't mind sharing I'd also love to read the personal stories behind these exact moments in time. Whatever you want to share, feel free to put it in the submission box as well. And as always, don’t let skill hold you back as the main point of this competition is to share your love for Star Wars! I encourage everyone to participate, regardless of skill level, and I promise you'll make everyone think fondly back to that magical moment you knew you loved Star Wars.
