"I was immediately on board with doing this project," Clarke said. "Seeing Return of the Jedi in theatres at three years old is what inspired me to start drawing. We got home and all I did afterwards was draw TIE Fighters and X-Wings …and this was even before I got hooked on Marvel comics! There's something inherently cool knowing that somewhere, this book might be someone's first introduction to Star Wars," he continued. "Maybe seeing characters that look like them (drawn by an artist who looks like them) might even inspire some other kid to be creative. That kind of representation means a lot to me."
