olly moss - star wars reimagined

he's only gone and done it again

olly moss has redesigned the original trilogy of star wars posters and has once again created something incredible, it would appear this man can do no wrong; take a look at these beauties.

when handling something as cherished and adored as the star wars franchise, it would be very easy for some people to tear into olly for whatever reason, but it would appear that these posters are loved by star wars fans and non star wars fans the world over.

"It was so intimidating!" olly told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. "There is such a wealth of greatStar Wars art out there already, from paid professionals and from enthusiastic fans. I suppose my main aim was to make a set of Star Wars posters that were a little different from what people are used to seeing from the franchise, but still retained that essential Star Wars feel. I started by re-watching the original movies with a sketchbook on my lap, and just sort of went from there."

400 of each of these posters have been officially printed and were on sale for $50 each, however the only place you'll probably find these now - if you're lucky - is ebay. if you find any please let me know, i'd probably sell a lung to get hold of these.

"If you're as big a nerd as I am, you just can't say no to Star Wars"

star wars disney

the star wars weekends at disney have become an annual event occuring between may and june and while this might seem like the most money hungry way to rinse a franchise even more, i cant stop the inner child in myself wanting to be part of them, especially this year, the 30th anniversary of empire strikes back when, to mark this event, one of the special guests at the weekend with be lando clarissian!  and to accompany this annual event, they uaually produce some cool as hell advertising.

now its unclear as to where these images crop up, the 2006-2007 posters along with the 2010 posters claim to be public advertising, mainly found in airports, wheras the 2009 posters are supposedly backstage posters to remind staff of the up coming events. either way they are all awesome, all depicting star wars characters or vehicles in situations you might find yourself in during your journey to or time spent at the theme park.

so here they are, i think i got them all, but if you find any that i havent please let me know, i couldnt find any for 2008.

hope you enjoy these as much as did, disney have an offical page for the weekends here and sorry for the late post, ill try not to let it happen again.

the dark lens - cedric delsaux

combine two of my favourite things, great photographs and star wars and your in with an instant sure fire hit, well to me you are.

thats exactly what french photographer cedric delsaux did with his trilogy of photo sets known collectively as dark lens. over several years he took photographs in paris, lille and dubai, the combined his pictures of urban areas, contruction sites, delsolate environments and broken down buildings with iconic elements from the star wars franchise, cedric has created an absolutely stunning collection.

seeing how easily these two worlds collide fills me with so much excitement, i feel like a kid again dreaming that the ships and characters from the movies i grew up in awe of could in fact be a reality... maybe some day in a galaxy not to far away, who knows?

i could keep inserting images but why not go on over to his website and see them in full hi resolution glory

and i resisted the urge to finish by saying "may the force be with you"
