Drawing Manga-style Battle Padmé Amidala
Ever wanted to draw Star Wars characters and vehicles just like the professional comic book artists? In this step-by-step series, Star Wars artists and illustrators show you how to draw some of the most beloved characters in the saga.
Graphic storytelling is a respected and centuries-old art form in Japan, and since the end of World War II, comic books — known in Japan as “Manga” — have remained the country’s dominant medium of entertainment. And over a period of at least the last twenty years, Manga have become increasingly popular with international and especially North American audiences. While every Manga artist has their own artistic flare, you can definitely see similarities in the style as a whole.
The biggest difference you’ll notice in the way Manga is drawn from comics in the Western world is the enormous eyes that the characters all have. With larger than life highlights, and refined detail, the contrast in shape and value really make the eyes “pop.” While this can often make the characters appear childlike, it also opens the door to making expressions and moods visually interesting.
Here our own Star Wars illustrator Matt Busch explains with these easy-to-follow steps on how to draw a Manga-style portrait of Padmé Amidala ready for battle on Geonosis.

Star Wars Jedi – Battle Scars
Join Cal Kestis and the Stinger Mantis crew on an epic adventure that takes place between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. After escaping the clutches of the Empire and rebuilding his life, Cal has found a new family in the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, they have taken down ruthless bounty hunters, battled Inquisitors, and even outsmarted the menacing Darth Vader himself.
With the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, the Mantis crew becomes bolder with each victory against the Empire. But when they meet a stormtrooper who wants to defect and start a new life, they are presented with a dangerous opportunity. The stormtrooper reveals the possible location of a powerful weapon that could turn the tide of the war. To obtain it, however, they must face one of the Empire’s deadliest enforcers – the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother.
As they embark on this perilous mission, the crew must grapple with a looming question: can they trust the Imperial defector? And with each close call, the stakes grow higher as they wonder how many times they can cheat death and evade the Empire’s grip. Don’t miss out on this heart-pumping adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to the modern classic video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, is just a few months away. But what happened between the two tales?
The upcoming novel Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, arriving March 7, will tell that story. The book from Sam Maggs, created in collaboration with Lucasfilm, Electronic Arts, and Respawn Entertainment, follows Jedi Cal Kestis and the Mantis crew as they meet a stormtrooper determined to chart her own course. The Imperial deserter knows of an object that could aid in the fight against the Empire, but acquiring it will bring Cal and the gang into the crosshairs of the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother.
In StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt from Jedi: Battle Scars, Cal works to infiltrate a hidden base belonging to the nefarious Haxion Brood crime syndicate. Getting there, however, is the real challenge…

Even at the height of the Jedi Order, war could still ravage worlds across the galaxy.
Continuing the saga of Star Wars: The High Republic Phase II, George Mann’s upcoming The Battle of Jedha audiobook original follows two Jedi — Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight Aida Forte — as they look to broker a peace between representatives of Eiram and E’ronoh. The two planets have been locked in the “Forever War,” a longstanding conflict that seems to finally have hope for an end. But not all are pleased to see the Jedi get involved.
StarWars.com is excited to offer a first listen to The Battle of Jedha, which arrives in audio form on January 3, 2023, followed by a hardcover edition on February 14, 2023. The audiobook original includes a score and sound effects, as well as a full cast, which we’re also pleased to reveal. Check out the clip, in which the Jedi arrive at Jedha, and cast below!…
Cal Kestis has come a long way since Order 66 first forced him into hiding.
After reclaiming his connection to the Force, the former Jedi Padawan went on a journey in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that ultimately led to meeting his new found family among the Stinger Mantis crew.
Now StarWars.com is excited to give you your first glimpse at Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, the new novel by Sam Maggs set between the fan-favorite video game and the highly anticipated sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
In the cover reveal, with art by Anthrox Studio, we find Cal scarred but undeterred, lightsaber at the ready, alongside Cere, Greez, and Merrin. But trouble looms, with the Fifth Brother Inquisitor peering out over our heroes.
Check out the official jacket copy below…
This week in Star Wars, we get excited for a behind-the-scenes look at the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series with the newly announced documentary, Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return coming to Disney+, go on a new adventure with Cal Kestis and the Mantis crew from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and prep for back to school with B2EM0.
