Ok I forgot about the poll, the results are in:

Favourite Original Trilogy Character? [345 votes total]


Luke Skywalker (43) 12%
Princess Leia (83) 24%
Han Solo (66) 19%
Darth Vader (47) 14%
Obi-Wan/Ben Kenobi (21) 6%
Chewbacca (9) 3%
R2-D2 (21) 6%
C-3PO (4) 1%
Lando Calrissian (0) 0%
Yoda (14) 4%
Boba Fett (7) 2%
Mon Mothma (1) 0%
Admiral Ackbar (1) 0%

Jabba the Hutt (1) 0%
Wicket the Ewok (14) 4%
Oola (3) 1%
Bib Fortuna (2) 1%
Wedge Antilles (4) 1%

So the Ultimate showdown, as someone cynically remarked in the comments seeing as this is a Padme site of course she's going to win, but I urge you look beyond the Oufits, Character we're voting for Character - the whole package and besides if Luke Skywalker or R2-D2 don't win I shall be very huffy .....ok kidding.......everyone who votes for Luke gets double chocolate cookies and drink of thier choice

About the contest voting, we're going to need at least 20 more people to vote before any winners are announced, so if you want to see whose won and get onto the next competition....any ideas on that one, anyone?.......you need to vote. Many thanks to the people who already have.

Edit:
Ok I just found this: Luke - he is Mr Wonderful :D

Enjoy the rest of your week

The voting form has been changed so if you voted before 1.31am (that's Fri morning here) NZ time (sorry you'll have to figure that out) please vote again, actually if there's any doubt please just vote again, this time we'll make exceptions if I get more than one voting form from you.

Lola is wonderful to be helping out *hugs* and I'm sorry everything has been taking so long, but life is busy.


Thanks, I hope everyone is well, enjoy the end of your week

The latest PW challenge is closed, even though the submit form is still active.

I don't have time tonight to add the last two entries or the voting form but I will do so in the next 2 days, I have to visit a couple of doctor's in this time and it's all rather stressful, so please bear with me.

We also have a calendar that I will be unveiling when I put up the voting form, you'll love it and I'll introduce you to our new Graphics maker.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend while mine is now over

Also I have selected the new PW Calendar and Prize maker, so we'll start to have calendar's again soon. Many thanks to everyone who submitted work and offered their services it was a hard choice.

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I'm really busy these days.

I've recieved 16 contest entries - the deadline actually passed on the 13th - but I'd like to have at least 20, I'll post the entries as soon as I can.

Also I'm just too busy these days to make the monthly PW Calendar or the Prizes for the contests so if your dedicated to SW and wish to give it a go please e-mail me at :

callafae1@yahoo.co.nz

Title e-mails: Sub for PW calendar and prizes.

Send me at least 3 examples of your wallpaper work and a test sample for this lastest contest : Her Crowning Glory - prizes are 400 x 200.

Bear in mind I'm not a grunge style person, or interested in the latest trends, I like diversity, you have to be someone who has a good knowledge of PS, and can produce different styles, photomanipulation is also a good skill to also have.

I look forward to your submissions.

And lastly a news article that caught my eye this morning:

Monday August 20
"Star Wars duo voted top 'love duds'

Star Wars duo Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen have been voted the movie couple with the most unconvincing on-screen chemistry.

Their romance in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, tops a poll which features movie pairings like Kate Beckinsale and Ben Affleck, and Andie MacDowell and Hugh Grant.

Affleck appears twice in the poll - once with Jennifer Lopez for the $US54 million ($A67.77 million) 2003 flop Gigli.

Despite the fact that Affleck and J-Lo were a real life couple, 17 per cent of voters said their romance failed to sparkle on the big screen.

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom were the highest Britons on the list - in third place, thanks to their roles in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Around one in eight people (13%) in the poll carried out by cinema company Pearl & Dean thought there was too much of stiff upper lip in their romance and not enough lust.

Madonna and Italian actor Adriano Giannini are fourth for Swept Away, the 2002 box-office disaster directed by the pop superstar's husband Guy Ritchie.

Catherine Zeta Jones's on screen romance with Sir Sean Connery in the 1999 film Entrapment also failed to convince in fifth place, with 11% of votes, partly because of the 39-year age difference.

Hugh Grant and US star Andie MacDowell are sixth for Four Weddings and a Funeral, while Affleck also takes seventh place with Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor.

The then married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are ninth, for their raunchy roles in the Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut.

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were ninth for their part as gay lovers in the cowboy film Brokeback Mountain followed by Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet with just three per cent of the vote.

Pearl & Dean surveyed 3,000 film fans for the poll."



Enjoy your week

It was brought to my attention that I missed a few of Padme's Hairsyles and Head pieces, my apologies.

From AOTC:
The Visiting the Naberries Hairstyle MAY NOT be used

The Pilot Disguise Hairstyle MAY be used.

It would be nice to see some more entries, thank you to the few people who have sent in entries so far.

So we have our challenge 21, "You'll Be In My Heart - Luke and Leia" winners, (I still haven't gotten round to putting names on the thumbnails, but I will hunt down Lola when she gets back from vacation and get her to work her coding magic).

First: Stephanie
Second: Naomi
Third: Daniel
Fourth: Mizra

Conratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to everyone who partcipated and voted.

Your awards will be coming soon.

The new challenge is up, I hope you enjoy this one - it's a Padme one, so go check it out and start sending me those entries.

As for new pictures I just don't have the time to keep scanning in or adding caps like I did, I will however do my best. But it is important you keep visiting PW or our host will have to shut us down if the visitng statistics fall too low, as was the unfortunate case with SW-Destiny, luckily Natalie has found a new host - so yay for her!

I have found an excellent Mark Hamill site - with great OT pictures The Many Faces of Mark Hamill and a Carrie Fisher one: Dynamic - Carrie Fisher Fanlisting and Fansite.

More obsurce pictures can be found of SW characters in photo sites such as Getty Images and Corbis, as a never seen before promo image of Luke and Leia showed us recently, which was found at Getty Images - but be warned these are all heavily copyrighted and the unauthroized removing of the watermark, will land you in serious trouble. As it is fansites stretch the limits of copyright law and so PW's disclaimer is everything here is the properity of Lucasfilms and the various photgraphers, etc... involved in taking/making them. We also do not put waterwarks on any of our pictures anymore, even scans, as we have recieved offical warnings about this - I suggest everyone take the copyright issues very seriously as they laws are getting stricter and the punishments are thousands of dollars and/or jail time.

Anyway enough about that, I hope you all enjoy your week.

You may vote only ONCE - this rule too, has be broken many times - if you vote more than ocne only the first one counts the rest are deleted.

I finally mangaged to get time to do the July Calender, I decided to use the Foreign Rescidence Gown from TPM as most people usually aren't that keen on it, but I find it rather fasinating.

I know the Contest was supposed to close today but I've decided to extend the dealine until July 18, and for those of you who have sent me new entiries, thank you very much and I'll have them up as soon as I can.

Finally I remembered to put in some of the New OT promo's I'd gotten, most are old, but bigger and better resolution.

Leia's ESB White Cloud City Jumpsuit:1, and two new one's brought by Jedda from Realm of Royalty at C4. 1, 2 . Thank you for those Jedda.

Leia in the Ewok Village Outfit:1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
And a new one of Luke in ROTJ: Luke in Jedi Outfit.

Well that's it for now, I hope you all have a good weekend.

Oh to my new affilates I will add you .........I just keep getting sidetracked
