CLASSIC IMAGE: 'MAY THE FECK BE WITH YOU!'

Image taken for NEON magazine by Adrian Green.

In honour of EPISODE VII's recent trip to Ireland for three days worth of location filming, we thought we'd post this classic February 1997 cover from the sadly long defunct UK film magazine NEON, heralding the then return of STAR WARS in Special Edition form, featuring the classic UK comedy star characters from the Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathew's created, surreal and brilliant FATHER TED- Father Ted (as Luke) and Father Dougal (as Leia)- at their comedy best, in a prime and hilarious celebration of the Skywalker twins heroic antics from the classic Hildebrandt Brothers poster of 1977.

If ever there had been a potential STAR WARS spin-off set on the fictitious Craggy Island, then these guys would have nailed it!
