My most clear memory of the films was trying to figure out how George Lucas knew that a young Darth Vader would look a whole lot like Hayden Christensen before he was even born, I was clearly not very bright.

So, I’ve spent the rest of my brain power to add a bit of product placement to famous artworks. Who knew all of these artists were secret Star Wars fans!
