Here is the very first post for a Star Wars female character's feet! Today, I bring you Jedi Master Shaak Ti. She is a Togruta Jedi Master from the Planet of Shili. Togrutas always go barefoot because they feel a better connection to the environment. Master Shaak Ti lived through the Clone Wars, and, since there are several different continuities in the Star Wars Universe, she has two fates. One is in the Canon Line, where Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader, stabs her in the back during the raid on the Jedi Temple. Another is in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, where she is killed by Vader's Apprentice, Starkiller.
Thought I'd do this in preparation for the upcoming Star Wars: The
Force Awakens Movie. I can try to do more Star Wars posts, but I'll need
sources on where to find them. On my list of female Star Wars Characters Feet Posts are:
Also, I would like to get back to Foot Stories from Writing.Com. I know this hasn't been done in a while, but while I'm on this blog, I would like to get to two of my Foot Stories by me, and another one that is on Writing.Com that was thought to be lost. Artemis's Slave: http://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1840074-Artemiss-Slave/action/outline
In this Story, you are captured by Artemis Crock from "Young Justice", and you are forced to worship her feet, or hers and the feet of another Young Justice Girl. It is in need of expanding.
So, if you can, please contribute to these Stories, and if you know any animated Star Wars Female Characters going barefoot, let me know. Only a month until The Force Awakens, everyone!

Ok...this is tough one, I'm not a huge fan of Erica Durance's Lois but I know she has her share of fans out there. For the sake of completion, here is a tribute to her...
In the Smallville series. This footwear stripping moment triggered Superboy's (Connor's) teenage harmones. I can't say that I blame him. ^_^
Yet another time a shoe falls off Lois feet mid-flight. If you are keeping track this is the 4th time in these bonuses so far.
(Various webfinds and caps of Erica Durance from Smallville. ^_^)
Ok I'll try to be objective. To her credit Erica does a good job playing Lois. Her performance sort of reminds me of Margot Kidder's. A lot of my gripes about her character comes from Smallville's writing. Durance joined the cast in the latter half of the series and by then quality of the series' storylines had deteriorated dramatically. Character writing became inconsistent with behaviors varying dramatically from episode to episode. The writing of Smallville was never on the level of the series that proceeded it (see previous bonus) but by the end it was very hard to watch. The series still had a couple of episodes that were worth watching but many of them were disappointing at best. This opinion comes from someone who stood with the Smallville series from beginning to end. Added onto that, Lois sort of paled in comparison with some of the other women in the series. When Lois debuted, Clark was already in a very sweet relationship with Lana played with a tremendous amount of charm by Kristin Kreuk. The series had also established their own original character Chloe Sullivan (Lois's Cousin) as the charismatic reporter character. The writer of Smallville tried to get Lois to fill both roles (connecting her to her comic depiction) but it's hard to do that when the other characters were so well liked.
Those complaints aside, it doesn't change the fact that Erica Durance did the best with what she had to work with. There were a lot of scenes in the series where she genuinely made me smile. She also has a great body too. ^_^;
Ok...Let's end on that positive note!! More Lois Tributes still to come!
Ok this next Lois segment is a tribute to one of my favorite Superman series "Lois and Clark: the New Adventures of Superman". I really loved this show and watched it religiously when it was airing. When I began working on this bonus (a few years ago), I rewatched the series on DVD trying to cap almost all of Teri Hatcher's foot scenes in it. Enjoy guys. ^_^
This was one of the best foot scenes in the series. A criminal put a bomb underneath her workout mat forcing her to do jumping jack on it to prevent it from detonating. She had just finished taking a shower so she was barefoot. Really hot!!
This has to be one of best Superman promotional photoshoots ever. Definitely the sexiest. ^_^
In one of the episodes of the series, Lois got Superman's powers and took on her own heroine persona. She looked really good in latex.
I tossed in a a couple of foot images of Teri Hatcher herself too.
More caps from the Lois and Clark series. In this episode she uses her bare foot to kick an intruder that got into her apartment in the face.
Really Lucky Guy!!!
Ok as a little bit of an extra bonus below is a video clip for a barefoot interview Teri Hatcher gave for the movie Two Days in the Valley. If you go to end of the clip the host plays this little piggy with her toes. Seriously. :-D I just wish the clip was higher quality.
(All of those pictures are a combinations of caps from the Lois and Clark television series and webfinds involving Teri Hatcher in barefoot moments. A special thank you to Juancho for helping me organize and set up this tribute.)
In terms of hotness, Teri Hatcher was in my opinion one of the prettier actresses to play the character. She did a good job portraying Lois adding a little bit more complexity to the character while at the same time keeping the character lighthearted and playful. I don't think the Lois in this series was an easy role to play. Hatcher had to portray a variety of aspects of the character's personality (spunk, wit, romantic feeling, comedy). She pulled it off beautifully balancing out the character's spunk and vulnerability without making the character seem unbelievable.
As a series, Lois and Clark tended to focus on the romantic relationship between its title characters. It took a lighter tone then some of the other interpretations of the Superman mythos and there were a lot of comedic scenes in it. The series didn't skimp on the action though and still had some intense and dramatic scenes as well.
I really like the portrayal of Clark in the series too. In this version Clark wasn't just a cover for Superman but his real personality. As a result, he was a much more depth to him. You get to see him as a competent, intelligent reporter which a lot of series overlook in favor of a bungling interpretation. This Clark is seen taking a hands on role investigating stories and has regular interactions with other character making the scenes where he was out of costume equally as important as when he was wearing it. Dean Cain, the actor who played Clark/Superman in the series, did a really excellent job portraying the character. ^_^
From a romantic angle, Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain really gave their characters great chemistry. You could see their relationship really develop as the series progressed. It was always fun to watch the two of them on screen together. Whether they were bantering, flirting, just having a casual conversation or kissing. You always found yourself rooting for them as a couple.
This is definitely another series I really recommend checking out. It may be a little dated by today's standards (some of the jokes are downright corny) but there are a lot of really great scenes in the series too.
Here are a couple of highlights of the series courtesy of youtube:
