Seven years ago, the first picture in this lineup was made to observe May the 4th, in celebration of Star Wars Day.
Featuring at-the-time not-as-fleshed-out Louis Percival and an unnamed Sith-coded antagonist, it was a silly little thing to express my interest in the franchise.
7 years later, Louis is a fleshed-out character, with his own set of insecurities, ego, and drives.
The antagonist would transform into his brother, whose motives would go from edgy bloodlust to a struggle for agency.
The Percivals series would not exist the way it does without Star Wars. While the Percivals is its own series now with no ties to the Lucas IP, a lot of the visual cues, themes, and world aesthetics were inspired by the analog retro-future that was seen in the original films, Rogue One, and in series like Andor.
For that, I owe that space opera a debt of gratitude.
I just wish I had more time to work on the Percivals haha.
Happy May the Fourth!
