One of the fascinating things about modern epics like, The Lord of the Rings, Naruto or Star Wars is the quantity and diversity of their characters. Illustrator Max Dalton shows us the many faces that appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy with his limited edition poster, simply titled Episode IV – VI:

The 18″ x 24″ poster shows nearly every character in the first Star Wars trilogy, arranged in the order of their appearance. Max also included different versions of the main characters. You’ll see Han Solo and frozen Han Solo, living Obi-Wan and ghost Obi-Wan etc.

You can buy the poster from Spoke Art for $50(USD) unframed or to $170 framed. It’s limited to just 500 pieces. Buy or miss out; there is no reprint.

Well, it does seem as though you will need something that is louder and brighter, with most probably some battery power required to deliver the amount of multimedia capability that can capture the imagination of the masses. Pen and paper? That is pretty much an archaic idea by now, but if you want to introduce them to the joys of drawing and doodling without having to cut down any more trees, then the £19.99 Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would fit the bill nicely.

The Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would arrive in a choice of blue, pink and red shades, making it an eco-friendly electronic alternative to paper. Not only that, since it is meant to be used by kids, it is no surprise then, to see it arrive with a shatter-proof Reflex LCD screen. Not only that, Boogie Board claims that it is good for up to 50,000 erases, which roughly translates to approximately 7 to 10 years on average, which by then your little one would have outgrown it a long time ago. Each Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would come with a stylus that is stashed away on the side for easy portability.
