Description

I wasn't happy with my original drawing of Penelope as a Jedi Knight. As a Star Wars character, I imagine Penelope as an eager, headstrong young padawan, who does what she feels is right, despite the will of the Jedi Council.

She managed to escape Order 66, using only her cunning... and her lightsaber. She was naive as a padawan, and was confused and angered when the Republic betrayed the Jedi. At this point she almost turned to the Dark Side after seeing her master struck down by Clones. She slaughtered every Trooper in sight and after realizing what she had done, stowed away on a freighter bound for Coruscant, when she saw Obi-Wan Kenobi's message to all surviving Jedi to stay away from the temple. The freighter landed on Nar Shaddaa, and she jumped ship there.

She then came upon a viewscreen where she saw Chancellor Palpatine explaining how the Jedi attacked him and had tried to take control of the Republic. Tears streamed down her face as he announced that the Republic would be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire. Her tears were for the death of sweet Democracy. This couldn't
be real, she thought, it had to be all a dream... She used what little credits she had to buy some clothing to hide that she was a Jedi. She stood over the edge of Nar Shaddaa and contemplated throwing her lightsaber over the edge, but decided to keep it, since it was the only weapon she knew how to use and seeing as how the galaxy had become much more dangerous... it would be a good idea to keep it.

She roamed the galaxy for a while, looking for a place to stay until she came upon Dantooine. She lived for many years in seclusion on Dantooine, enjoying the beauty and tranquility of the planet. That is until it came under Imperial control in 0 BBY, and she was forced to fight off the Imperials and find a new home.

I used gradients for the lightsaber effect.
