Star Wars, the baroque version

the Death Star Also known as the deadly croissant Darth Vader A timeless fashion statement (you just can't go wrong with black) Stormtrooper Fighting in style Chewbacca Contrary to beliefs Chewbacca uses his own hair not a wig Princess Leia Floats a little bit over the rest of us C-3PO and R2 D2 R2 D2 is not as sophisticated as to warrant a wig and Introducing as Luke Skywalker: Linnaeus the botanist supreme

Kind of a 70s Baroque.
I remember a lot of books and other print materials illustrated like this back in the 1970s.

Unoriginal and poorly executed. Yet, look at all the attention you're getting. I hope you realize how lucky you are.

That Death Star is used on the cover of Dance Gavin Dance's self titled album. Which is an awesome album by the way.
