    Hey, folks.

    I'm looking for a resource (if it exists at all.) I'm working on a custom car livery for Gran Turismo 7, and I need to find the photos of Obi-Wan and Qui Gonn featured on the hood of the car in the listing below (the best picture is Image 42.) I'm guessing that these pictures came from reference or publicity stills like this one. I've spent a couple of days using Google Image search and although I've found a few that are *close,* I can't find these specific photos. Do any of you costumers know of a place that houses these types of photos or where I could go to look for Star Wars costume reference and publicity photos? Thanks in advance for your help.

    @Stormtrooper53, I think someone took that image from a movie still and touched it up, which is what you may have to do.

    Let me tag @HanSolo29 because she’s excellent with photoshop, we can see if she agrees.

    That's possible - like the original post said I found similar images using Google but nothing that matched exactly.

    It's definitely two separate publicity photos that were edited together for the car decal (originally seen on Jeff Gordon's car).

    I did manage to find the Obi-Wan one—you can see they flipped it horizontally and edited the Padawan braid to fall over the appropriate shoulder. Unfortunately, it's of low quality:

    I haven't come across the Qui-Gon one yet (I did find one that was similar, but his pose was a little different), but let me look through some of my files on my home computer. I may be able to find something that can work.

    Thanks @HanSolo29! I felt like it had been photoshopped. :)
