turns out the image links are screwed. For instance, the one at the top of the page is:

[io9.com]

when it should be:

[cache.io9.com]
Same is true of the others

I'm imagining Jar Jar Binks with bangs over each eye stalk. I think it is an improvement.

*bangs head repeatedly against the table while avoiding her laptop, because honestly, if she maims it now, she's effectively screwed in at least three classes* Damn you, official Star Wars website and your crappy generalizations! Not all manga is creepy shoujo lolita that looks like Sailor Moon rejects.

They forgot this instruction:

"As a last step, write "Padme" at the top left of your drawing. This step is critical if you want people to know what the hell you just drew."

Well, that sucks. The lamest art instruction I have ever read. "Lightly sketch this head using [decent level of detailed instruction on drawing outline of head], now draw these elaborate eyes and detail features!"

But can this manga convey her impressive acting range?
Show me pensive!
Concerned!
Worried!
Afeared!

Who is this "Lucas" you refer to?

There are only three Star Wars movies, and heaven help me, my children will never know different.

Next time we show you how to incorporate your Manga-style Padme into a horrific porn scene with Twi'leks and a Sarlaac.
