Of course, as any art loving Star Wars geek will be able to tell you, this is a parody [or shall we say hommage (or dare we even say pastiche?)] of Salvador Dali’s The Temptation of St Anthony. Google it. Otherwise you might not get the full awesomeness of the hommage. Or maybe you do, WTF do I know.

If you’re click-lazy like me you’ll probably appreciate a link to it, including some sort of interpretation which you can find for example here.

Now. The following, absolutely mind-blowing, uber-awesome, re-imagining of the classic Dali artwork in Star Wars style, plus a cool bonus image, can be seen after the jump.

And here’s the bonus image. The Empire’s rebranding as a friendlier, happier dictatorship continues:

Awesome does not even begin to describe these masterpieces. Or maybe I am just very easily impressed with anything to do with Star Wars.

You know, by means of evil Sith magic or because Mala Noche are expanding their territory into space.

Stuff happens in my head when I’m bored. So the concept is a bit like Marvel Comics vs. DC, or Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, or my constant fight against sanity.

So I came up with this quick mash-up picture showing Horatio Caine in his standard issue stormtrooper uniform. Plus his sunglasses, of course. Because of the blinding twin suns of Tatooine.

So yeah, this is what CSI: Tatooine would look like. Pretty much.

Our first priority is to find the crime scene:

I have always dreamt of having eyes that could shoot lasers, or at least own a jet-pack like Boba Fett. I imagined how cool I would look. This was before I got beaten up in middle school for wearing a Star Wars is Forever T-Shirt, of course.

Now I am haunted in my nightmares by a bunch of school bullies with rocket powered jet-packs hunting me down an alley. But then out of nowhere appears Falkor, the luckdragon from Neverending Story and saves me. We then have ice-cream.

I tell you, looking into my mind is not pretty.

If I had lasers shooting from my eyes my dreams would look very different. And I would probably not need a Death Star after all.

You may fire when ready:

Bacon! Bacon!! BACON!!!

Details are as follows (let’s get technical, shall we?):

It lights up both blue and orange along the tube, in the barrel, and in the “indicator light” on top. The light switch is a two-way toggle in the back by the handle. It’s 22″ long including the prongs and weighs about 15 lbs.

I am no Sith myself and have fairly decent manners, so I decided to let Vader live and he ran away like a little girl. I knew that he still had some business with Luke and I didn’t want to mess with the Star Wars universe and timeline. That’s how considerate I am!

Unlike the new US president, apparently. He goes into full on battle mode with Vader, as is evident in the picture below. Go Obama, the force is with you!

Only now, at the end, do you understand:

The guy who built this cool Lego Space Battleship Yamato though… not only does he have angelic patience and skills. I’m sure he also has a mental problem. Why else would you spent around 40 hours playing with tiny little bricks? Was there nothing on TV?

Obviously I am just plain jealous of his skills. The guy with the awesome skills is, of course, an artist from Hong Kong and goes by the name of Vincent Cheung. He has a gallery up over at Brickshelf with many more awesome Lego pictures, so go and check it out.

I want that ship, not excuses:

Awesome means something completely different to people in my generation. This neat image perfectly explains how internet losers like me define awesome.

There’s no such thing as too much Star Wars content on this blog. There just isn’t. Above image by Tribs from the b3ta community. He did it, and he is awesome for it.
