LWLies 67: Rogue One – A Star Wars colour-in edition

Take an exclusive look inside our latest print issue. Available now in a galaxy near you...

Gather up your colouring in materials as Little White Lies takes a deep dive into the world of Gareth Edward’s world-expanding Star Wars escapade, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For this issue we want you to help us bring a splash colour to this magical universe, which is why we’ve made it so you can put your own creative, personalised stamp on the cover artwork and every single illustration inside the magazine. But why?

From its very origins, the Star Wars saga has used black-and-white in subtle, imaginative ways. Imagine if Darth Vader’s body armour had been white? Or if Luke Skywalker embarked on his date with destiny dressed in black robes? The clash of opposites embedded into the fabric of the films is what makes them so dramatic, so relatable and so iconic.

In this spirit, we too are pitting black against white – the Rebel Alliance verses the Evil Empire. While each monochrome illustration offers a striking encapsulation of this dark side/light side concept, you’ll also have the freedom to add as much colour as you like using whatever artistic medium you so choose. Watching Star Wars is an active experience, one that invites you into its world. We want to do the same.
