34/52 | Padme
52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the Thirtieth Fourth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from a movie poster, while others will be recreations of famous images of the 20th century or album covers. There may even be the odd recreation of a painting!
“Padme” is my recreation of the 2007 love comedy drama "Juno" movie poster.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon this particular movie poster. On Tuesday, August 21 at 1:08 a.m. my son; Benjamin Harrison Eger, was born. He came two weeks early, but was a healthy 7 lbs 10.5 oz. I wanted to create an image that I would remember was created to mark his birth. Recreating Juno seemed to be very appropriate given its subject matter. Conveniently there are also connections to the Star Wars franchise, particularly the love story between Anakin and Padme and the birth of their children in The Revenge of the Sith.
This one is for you Benjamin!
Enjoy!

Like I said, keep up the movie posters. I feel they are some of your best cloned photos.
Also congrats man! From now on all you’ll see is the need for more diapers. ;D

hAHAHAHAHA! What a comparison!! That one is really hilarious!
(I really enjoyed Juno!)

I have always made the connection between the two.

They are very similar.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PADME FIGURE??!!

Hey Anakin,
The Padme figure is from the Revenge of the Sith line from back in 2005. Figure 19 in the series. Hope that helps.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/roseruf] Juno was great, but Padme would be better!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/sashabratz] Thanks you Sasha, although the background could use some improvement. I used my monitor for the stripes…perhaps not a good choice?
