I'll dig it out.. just a cpl min....

-edit
It is attached.
The zip has both, regular Anakin and the cloaked Anakin from the SWBF2 assets.
This is completely off topic Tirpider but are you familiar with the Sharad Hett and A'Sharad Hett stories? Them being Tusken Force users and all. I ask this because your profile picture reminds me of a comic I think Sharad Hett was in. I have a couple "Star Wars Omnibus" full of different Star Wars comics and the Tusken Jedi are in them.

That pic is in fact Sharad Hett from the Star Wars - Outlander story. [issues 7 - 12]

I'm more interested in his story than his son's (who later conquers the galaxy as Darth Krayt.)

He is a self exiled, human Jedi, though. Not a native Tusken. 
I like to imagine the Tuskens did develop some sort of force affinity (despite the words of those who say they lack the intelligence for it,) but their native force users might be more like a witch or medicine man than a Jedi because of the lack of rigid training and the customs of Tusken culture.

It briefly tells of how he came to be a warlord and reminds me of the movies The Last Samurai (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325710/), A Man Called Horse (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066049/) and Dances with Wolves (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099348/).

Easily my favorite modern Star Wars tale. 

I know folks aren't so into the expanded Universe, but I feel Outlander and Dark Times - Blue Harvest are stories worth telling.

-edit (off off topic)
The few images of the Tusken hoards from these comics and the McQuarrie concepts are what I am using as inspiration for my own Tusken models.  Just haven't got anything solid yet.

Haha! The Outlander comic series is in the omnibus I have! I also like that story, Sharad Hett is a cool guy.

Yea I tend not to read to much after episode VI storied just because all the characters get all weird. But the Trawn Trilogy is amazing, I prefer Expanded Universe stuff that takes place in between Episode I-VI since I know the most about Star Wars in that time period.



So are you a fan of Ki-Adi-Mundi? How about Aurra Sing, the character who killed off the best tusken?
