Get Out The Scissors, Cosplayers: Leia in Razor’s Edge Art
It’s time to reveal the star of Star Wars: Empire and Rebellion: Razor’s Edge – Princess Leia! The best part about getting new artwork is that fangirls now have more cosplay options for the character. Magali Villeneuve has done a magnificent job of bringing the Star Wars heroine to life. Tomorrow, we’ll unveil the complete image along with an interview with the artist. Amy Ratcliffe, who writes for Star Wars Insider and the Star Wars Blog, posted an interview with author Martha Wells at Geek With Curves.
The interaction between Han and Leia created some of my favorite moments in the book. Del Rey was nice enough to let me share an excerpt:
As the others were climbing down the fibercord from the ore track to the corridor floor, Han turned to Leia. She said briskly, “We’ll get into position and wait for your signal.”
“Yeah.” Han never knew what to say in these moments. They were friends, nothing more—sometimes not even that—and they always had an audience. This time it seemed like a particularly attentive audience, at least on Itran and Terae’s part. He settled for, “Good luck, Princess. Watch your back.”
Leia’s expression was slightly ironic. “Thanks, Han, I’ll do that.”
As usual, Han felt that she was expecting something from him that he didn’t know how to give her. The only thing that made these moments less aggravating was that there were plenty of times when he was expecting something from her that she wasn’t giving him—and he actually had no idea what it was. So he just led his group away, fairly certain she was rolling her eyes at his back.
