Yaddle is one of those characters who has a gigantic expanded universe backstory, despite only appearing for a very short time in the Star Wars movies. Part of that backstory is that she never had a lightsaber for most of her Padawan training - so she's an adept combatant without one. Incidentally there's still no canon explanation about what species these little guys are.

The Sith type is just an anonymous Sith type. I figured it would be fun to do a big picture with a lot of comic-book-styled motion like this and then, after pencilling it up, I realized that I'd have to be really careful with inking and toning it to build any sense of distance. I'm still unsure whether I succeeded.

But you wanna know the *real* inspiration for this thing? Listening to thumpy dance remixes of the Imperial March.
