The Best Star Wars and Classic Art Mashups

Zuzanna Stańska 4 May 2023 min Read

It is fascinating how people combine two products of culture that are so different – classic art and Star Wars. Here you will find the best (in our opinion) Star Wars art mashups – and the force is strong with these ones, hmm.

1. Darth Vader as Woman with a Parasol

2. Senator Amidala Doubts in M-Maybe

You may not know that Roy Lichtenstein was actually inspired by old masters such as Johannes Vermeer! Seems that there is always a Master and a Padavan in the art world, don’t you think?

3. R2-D2 and Leia Chilling in Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte

 George Seurat, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, 1884–1886, The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.

Star Wars Art: Dave Hamilton, Leia and R2-D2 after Georges Seurat.

Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a great painting an a perfect example of Post-Impressionism.

4. Darth Vader Crossing the Alps

5. Yoda with Bandaged Ear and Pipe

Star Wars Art: Yoda with Bandaged Ear after Van Gogh.

Some call Van Gogh the master of “selfies”. He indeed did a lot of self-portraits which helped him develop his style and documented the life of the great Master.

6. Quite alive C3PO as Dead Marat

star wars art: Jacques Louis David, Death of Marat, 1793, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, Belgium.

8. Baby Yoda and Mandarolian in Byzantine Mosaic
