The third screen print in the
Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series was unveiled yesterday and it is entitled “Father: Encounter on Dagobah.” "Father: Encounter on Dagobah" by
Tomer Hanuka features Luke Skywalker, with Yoda on his back, walking through the Dagobah swampland and envisioning Darth Vader in the distant landscape. We’re now three prints into this amazing series, and this is definitely The Blot’s favorite
Star Wars print to date!
According to the Tomer, “the central idea going into this image was depicting planet Dagobah itself as a portrait of Luke’s subconscious in its most interesting and unformed phase. In a nightmarish sequence, Luke runs into the mist where he thinks he saw Vader. Luke finds him and a lightsaber duel ends with Vader’s decapitation. The mask cracks open on the severed head, exposing the frozen face of a dead Luke Skywalker. The suggestion here is that somewhere within Luke’s psyche there is a potential for ultimate evil. Luke’s greatest challenge isn’t the Galactic Empire and its endless, faceless troopers, but the magnetism of the dark side; the seductive idea of choosing his own potential for power over everything else.” (
