UPDATE: Star Wars Gets Fine Art Treatment

Well, we've already seen some Star Wars fine art in the past, but now Worth1000 just ran a 2-day contest to see who could make the coolest Photoshopping using Star Wars characters and classic art pieces. The one there is a take on Napoleon Crossing The Alps. But instead of Napoleon, it's Darth Vader. Darth Vader riding a horse -- like he would ever do that! So ridiculous. Hit the jump for a few more of my favorites, and make sure to hit the link for a bunch more. A lot of them are really freaking good, especially considering the artists only had two days to complete their work. Of course, if I had entered I would have totally won. I'd have used Jacques-Louis David's Death of Marat, but instead of Marat in the tub, it would be Jar Jar! With more blood. Lots more blood. Somebody send me a ribbon.
Note: Anybody that wants to actually make that, please do and send me a link so I can throw it up and give you a shoutout for your l33t photohaxoring.
UPDATE: Readers MadMonkey and Bryan were kind enough to make some. Hit the jump to see them.

Thanks Julian, I had almost forgotten how much I hated Jar Jar.
Also, thanks to MadMonkey and Bryan for taking the time to make the Jar Jar pictures. Now do one of my ex-wife.

This is the second installment of "video games in the real world" art here on Geekologie. The first was brought to us by Mike (aka Pixel Fantasy) on Flickr, but this set was done by DeviantArt user RETROnoob. These are noticeably more intricate than the first. There's a ton ... / Continue →

This is the way money looked a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Or, I dunno, as imagined by DeviantArt user Diablo2003. As you can see, Vader opted for a helmet-on shot, which I think we can all agree, was the smart decision. Nobody wants to see your crusty-ass rutab... / Continue →
