Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series #12 - Attack Position by Rich Kelly

The twelfth screen print in the Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series was announced yesterday, and it’s an interesting print by Rich Kelly entitled “Attack Position.” This is the first Mondo print featuring everyone’s favorite Wookiee, Chewbacca. While The Blot’s excited to finally see Chewie on a screenprint, this particular image isn’t my favorite. I’m not sure if it’s Kelly’s style, the print’s color scheme or the fact it depicts a battle scene on Endor from Return of the Jedi.

Here are Kelly’s thoughts behind his design: “After re-watching the original trilogy and observing how Chewbacca interacted with the rest of the characters, I realized that on more than one occasion he was basically used for comic relief with Han. Even during some of the battle scenes he seems to be fumbling around a bit. As a kid, I definitely remember thinking of him as a major force to be reckoned with. Therefore, I decided I wanted to depict Chewie as one bad dude; kicking ass and taking names. Endor came to mind as an appropriate environment, with Chewbacca gliding down a fallen tree, about to attack a couple of unsuspecting storm troopers.”

“Attack Position” by Rich Kelly is a hand numbered 24“x36” screen print. This Star Wars print has a limited edition run size of 400 and will retail for $50 each. Collectors can purchase “Attack Position” directly from Mondo Tees at a random time today, Friday, November 12, here.
