"Star Wars" Fun, Part 2


"QUANTUM SHOT" #335
link



Also Read Part 1

Still Going Strong (after all these years)

The dedication and exuberance of "Star Wars" die-hard fans is nothing short of astonishing. Somebody should pitch them against the "Star Trek" loyalists and see who comes up with the wildest ideas and endures the longest without any new movie releases. But you have to admit, The Epic Good vs. Evil Battle is never quite as fun without Luke and Vader, and we have to thank George Lucas for that.

Any material will do

The statues/sculptures/models of famous characters can be made out of scrapmetal:
(like at Yumimodal)

Darth Vader's Brief Personality Disorder

The poor guy had one rebellion too many, and slightly shifted in his style. His act got weirder and weirder:

Darth trying "Hello Kitty" image:



Stormtroopers followed suit:



He suddenly got a taste for Harry Potter:

Launched his own line of environmentally-friendly products:



Became very famous on Digg and Reddit (with this picture):



inspired some bizarre bus stop sculptures:



Said "good-bye" to all his other gas-guzzler transports:



Good thing he found some solace among the cute schoolgirls in Japan:

Vader deals with his angst, using Colonel Sanders:

...releases stress by reading manga:



and finally settles in his usual groove:

his kids don't seem to be the cheerful kind, though:

One Day in the Life of Ivan the Stormtrooper

Being recruited by the Evil Empire has its drawbacks... Spending a night in the motel:



Paying with pretty neat money:

Grooving under some good old disco: - via




Danny Choo documented more of the stormtrooper's time in Tokyo:





Catching on the news:

Well, young stormtroopers fall in love too:
(their whole love story is documented in this set)

Taking a stormtrooper kid for a stroll:



...along the street of a sworn enemy:



There are some very convenient mailboxes on that street:

Getting slightly confused about his destiny:

Getting arrested...

and finally visiting church:

In the meantime, rebel fighters are totally lost in time:


(original unknown)

And Han, as always, saves the day:

In this rare concept art by Ralph McQuarrie we can see smaller Death Stars, serving as sentinels...

When I lived in Tucson Az I worked with a guy who's legal name was Obi Wan Kenobi. He was an actor and he said he changed his name to something people would remember. I have a Christmas card that he gave me that he signed as Obi Wan Kenobi.

  • That lady with the long black hair seated by the huge stone is Cher. I think that's the cover art of her album Heart of Stone, which was released in the early 90s. If I'm not mistaken, that album is where the single "Turn Back Time" is from.

  • The third image without credit is from Jonathon Bowser: http://www.jonathonart.com/nati4.html
    Read more

  • It is Heart of Stone, and interestingly enough, that album cover was recalled because it was thought to be too morbid. That's the one I have, though, and I've never seen what they replaced it with.
    Read more

  • I grew up around that Cher album (yes it is Heart of Stone) and had never noticed the illusion until now... very groovy
    Read more

  • the two paintings (flowers and leaves forming a female face, birds forming a female face) come from the artist Octavio Ocampo. Great work! Keep it up! ;)

  • omg, i cant beleive it! the one where u have 2 find the F's..first i counted 3, then i read the answer..i counted again, found 4, and the 4th time, i saw 6, haha!!

    Its from the beginning scene of the movie Hannibal and it's Hannibal Lecters face made out of pidgeons.

  • Neat article.
    There is one f in that sentence. You meant how many are in the following sentence. You made a word illusion.
    Cool.

  • I think that second painting credited to Jos de Mey is actually by Rene Magritte. He frequently used the juxtaposition of night and day in his landscapes, and the birdcage fellow appears in many of his paintings.

  • oh, Did I see some Michael Jackson look alike in the graphic associated with the movie 'Alexander' ?
    its on the bottom-left of the big face.

  • The cameraman needs a few lessons.
    I have motion sickness now.

  • That "asteroid" is in fact a meteor. :) Asteroids are large bodies smaller than a planet, located typically in the asteroid belt, meteoroids – smaller bodies, but still in space. Once they enter the atmosphere, they produce a ball of fire and this is called a "meteor".
    Read more

  • The meteor photo has been found to be the reflection of the sun off ice particles left by a airliner's engines. Here's another photo from about 10 kilometers away http://www.space.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/img_display.php?pic=031013_fireball_heywood_02,0.jpg
    Still looks spectacular though!
    Read more

  • The multi-coloured Beetles ("afterlife") were sold as such from the Mexican production line. They took 4 different-colour beetles and a small team just took the various parts off and assembled them on the other bodies just as they felt inspired that day. They then were sold as "clown"-version.
    Read more

  • please consider not using "[wiki]" if the link goes to wikipedia, as a "wiki" is the type of software in general that wikipedia and many other sites use. in that sense it is as useful as using "[blog]" or "[site]" or other generic terms.

    in short: "wiki" is no good abbreviation for "wikipedia".

  • will do!

  • That nazi aerosled is not nazi but Finnish. Finnish army was well prepared for snow operations and the use of the swastika in its armed forces comes earlier than the nazis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Finland
    Read more

  • Karamazov is absolutely right. The aerosled is Finnish. The German Wehrmacht never used the swastika on their vehicles. Trucks, tanks kubelwagens, etc., always used the standard German Cross.

    Only in need, when there was aerial support, did they put a flag (with the swastika) over the tanks and trucks to signal them to Luftwaffe.

    The Finnish used a blue swastika over a white background, as can be perceived from the black-and-white photograph.

  • in case you were wondering, the three b&w pictures with the different variants of the one snow mobile , written in russian and translated as follows : passenger variant, business
