The first Return cards I ever bought from Mike were from 2008 Star Wars Clone Wars. One was R2D2/C-3PO, and the other was Darth Sidious/Count Dooku/Ventress. George Lucas was great at making the bad guys cool in Star Wars. A little bit scary with a big helping of badass. Mike does the same with his art, and sometimes even adds some humor. So when I had the chance to pick up this Revenge of the Sith Widevision sketch of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious, I jumped at it. 

   The first thing that struck me about the card was how tall and imposing Mike made Vader compared to Sidious. I think he did this on purpose to show Vader's strength, and maybe, just maybe as a purposeful slight to Sidious. Plus the fact that this sketch is on Widevision stock lends to the imposing figure of Vader. Then of course I noticed the look on Sidious' face, and his hands. He has the "evil scientist" look on his face- a sense of glee that his evil plan is working lol. The beady eyes and evil grin are fantastic! The Sith Lord and his Sith Apprentice. I think it's an awesome card.
