Princess Leia was a fun challenge for me, Edmiston said.

Those terrific hair buns also dont hurt when it comes to adding an element to enhance her recognizability.

Mysterious and scary, and instantly relatable to everyone as something evil.
Id love to paint every version of Trooper there is.
They are all incredibly designed.
