Star Wars - finals?

I've been entirely focusing on making sure I have a substantial amount of practical work to go thematically alongside my essay, as I definitely feel this is an area I have fallen behind with in previous modules, and the practical never seems as strong as the written work.

The core idea with my Star Wars characters is to illustrate how each character goes through multiple iterations and alterations through their appearances. Luke begins as the fresh faced hero and evolves into the grizzled old mentor. Finn begins as the troubled soldier and evolves into the heroic rebel dedicated to a cause he actually believes in. I used colour to denote these different stages of the characters "lives" (they're not real), and focused on getting the atmosphere of each one right so that this message could be clearly communicated alongside the essay, rather than spending days making sure I capture the exact likeness of Harrison Ford and wasting loads of time, as I have definitely done before.

I'm happy with how these turned out, as they work well in sets of three as I intended, and the stark contrasts in colour help to highlight the defining aspects of their character.
