Awesome (to the max)! Early Eighties versions of Star Wars

This cool artist did a mash-up or interpretation of the key Star Wars characters as the Eighties high-school archetypes, maybe a touch of college. I say the early Eighties since half the fashions shown fell out of favor by the time I was graduating from Marquette. Too bad these aren’t for sale as prints. I figure Lucasfilm’s litigious nature would squash it despite parodies being protected speech. I would go the parody route since I don’t know if tributes have held up in court. Maybe the two lawyers who sometimes post can answer this.

The guy (I looked up his profile) does offer the artwork as downloadable files yet I thought it was more polite to just repost my fave, then have a link to send anybody who’s curious. Plus he has done some Wild West versions of the Justice League and other things. I’m glad to see a little something to give me a brief moment of joy when thinking about Star Wars. Lucas killed it through his prequels and Clone Wars has grown tiresome; after watching three seasons, the whole conflict it a long, boring draw.
