LeDomduVin: May the 4th be with you! And the 6th too!

LeDomduVin: May the 4th be with you! 

And the 6th too! 

May is Star Wars Month! It has been for decades, since the release of the movie "Star Wars" on May 25th, 1977 (US release date - retitled in 1979: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope), which became the foundation of the Star Wars universe, as part of the Trilogy of Trilogies, expanding it with endless stories, adventures, characters, creatures, planets, worlds, dimensions and so much more.     

Most (or even all) Star Wars films have been released (in the US) in May, ever since.   

Being born in 1973, I watched Star Wars, my first Sci-Fi movie, in 1979 when I was 6. As a result of growing up with Star Wars, I'm a HUGE fan. 

To mark the occasion nearly every year, I contribute my stone to the edifice by creating a drawing, a collage, or an image related to Star Wars and wine. You can see my previous creations here, here, as well as here and here (too many to include all the links). 

This year, I did not have the chance to create something myself, so I simply wrote a prompt in an AI application on my phone to generate these two images. It is not as personal as usual, since I did not make these images myself, but I did not want to miss the opportunity to post something about Star Wars.  

Just as a kind reminder for those who may not know, Star Wars has 2 particular dates in May (3, depending on who you ask), one for the Jedi(s) and one for the Sith(s): 

- May the 4th, after the famous Jedi quote: "May the force be with you!" 

- May the 6th (or the 5th, depending on who you ask) as a Sith response to May the 4th: "May the Sixth be with you!"

So here they are, my little contributions to the Star Wars universe for this year (above and below), with Yoda and Darth Vader as the main protagonists.  

May the force be with you! Always!

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom

LeDomduVin: Star Wines - May the 4th be with You - Yoda

 

Star Wines - May the 4th be with you

YODA

Over the last 5 decades, May the 4th (fourth) has inspired countless visual and written parodies and memes of the famous Star Wars phrase "May the force be with you", said by Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

And, since 1978 or 1979 (depending on the sources), "May the 4th" has officially been named "Star Wars Day".

As a huge fan of Star Wars, it has inspired me for years to create one or more illustrations to celebrate the day.

In the past few years, based on the franchise's famous characters, I have created:

OBI-WINE KENOBI - (representing young Obi-Wan Kenobi - Ewan McGregor)

MACE WINEDU (representing Mace Windu - Samuel L. Jackson)

THE PADAWINE (representing a young female Padawan)

So I had to create another one with Yoda. And here it is.

Cheers! Santé!

And may the force be with you always!

And the wine, too 😉👍🍷

LeDomduVin: The PADAWINE - MAY THE WINE BE WITH YOU

The PADAWINE

MAY THE WINE BE WITH YOU

Over the last 5 decades, May the 4th (fourth) has inspired countless visual and written parodies of the famous Star Wars phrase "May the force be with you" said by Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. And, since 1978 or 1979 (depending on the sources), May the 4th has officially been named "Star Wars day".

After creating OBI WINE KENOBI (see it here) and MACE WINEDU (see it here), I could not resist creating another one, too much fun 😁👍🍷, so I created The PADAWINE

It was only logical, after creating the WHITE (OBI-WINE KENOBI) and the RED (MACE WINEDU) versions, I had to create the ROSÉ version. 

As a huge fan of Star Wars, yesterday, May the 4th, 2021, inspired me to create this illustration above. The glass of rosé wine is inspired by the skin colour of this beautiful brunette, an imaginary Jedi Padawan created by the illustrator/animator Jiwoo Lee.

Thank you Jiwoo Lee 👍👌🙏🙏🙏

PADAWINE is based on Star Wars fictional characters (courtesy of Star Wars / Lucasfilm Ltd) and courtesy of Jiwoo Lee. 

I was 4 years old in 1977 when the first episode of the Star Wars film series came out, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. I went to see it with my parents for the first time. And, like many people of my generation, it impacted (and still is) my life in ways I would have never imagined. It became a passion, then an obsession, then a cult. I have seen countless times and loved all 9 movies and all the other related movies, TV series and animated movies and everything else spawned into the Star Wars world. I love everything about Star Wars. And this illustration/collage that I created is my way to thank George Lucas for all these years of great memories and for creating the fantastic and inspirational universe of Star Wars.  

Thank you,

LeDomduVin: MACE WINEDU - MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

MACE WINEDU

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

Over the last 5 decades, May the 4th (fourth) has inspired countless visual and written parodies of the famous Star Wars phrase "May the force be with you" said by Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. And, since 1978 or 1979 (depending on the sources), May the 4th has officially been named "Star Wars day".

As a huge fan of Star Wars, today, May the 4th, 2021, inspired me to create this illustration above and rename the famous character: MACE WINEDU (instead of Mace Windu). The glass of red wine is inspired by the brown colour of the Jedi's robe (or cloak), as well as the brown skin colour of Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson).

After creating OBI WINE KENOBI (see it here), I could not resist creating another one, too much fun 😁👍🍷, so, I created MACE WINEDU, and right after, I also created PADAWINE (see it here), 

So, here it is:

As a huge fan of Star Wars, today, May the 4th, 2021, inspired me to create this illustration above and rename the famous character: OBI-WINE KENOBI.  The glass of white wine is inspired by the beige colour of the Jedi clothes, as well as the blondish hair and beard of young Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor).
