Description
This concept came to me as I was replaying The Force Unleashed on my XBox this past weekend. Maybe it was force choking all those Wookiees during the prologue where you play as Darth Vader.
It's no surprise that Sunset Shimmer is frequently likened to Anakin Skywalker. Not wanting to conceal her behind a mask and armor, I went with an appropriately dark outfit similar to Mara Jade's - it gets the Dark Side point across. I was originally going to have both Snips and Snails in Imperial uniforms being Force choked, but for the sake of time, paper space and simplicity, I just went with Snails alone (guess Snips will be the next "lucky" officer to be promoted).

Never really gave that end much thought - from the sound of things, Sunset didn't have somebody to corrupt her like Palpatine did with Anakin.
In that regard, she's more like Exar Kun, who was corrupted by his own ambition.

Wise decision. Tall, black and dangerous isn't her color, although this wouldn't sound half as good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFβ¦

I can certainly see Sunset screaming back at Celestia:
"I HATE YOU!"

Well, the overall composition works well! I like the opposing poses of the two characters, which conveys the action well. Er, force action.

I'm glad that I could accomplish that feel without adding the visual effects often added to the comics and videogames to depict telekinesis (cool as it might look).

Nice concept. But who would Snips be then?

Likely the next unfortunate Imperial officer who takes Snails' place.

Lots of practice with the Pen tool is all I can say.

I also remember this from The Empire Strikes Back.
Apology accepted, Captain Needa.
Sunset Shimmer makes a good Mara Jade Skywalker.

I'll admit, I was also considering dressing her up similar to Darth Bane's apprentice Zannah.

That would work just as well. Didn't know you like Star Wars.

Yup! Whether it's the movies or the expanded universe, SW is one of my favorites.

Same for video games especially TIE Fighter.
