Star Wars in Feudal Japan

ByPaul Posted on

This isn’t the first time someone has imagined Star Wars as a feudal Japanese story, and it won’t be the last. The film (well, at least the first one) drew heavily on Samurai culture to craft the Jedi and Sith, so it’s really no stretch to see the genre’s bent in this way.

But this is far and away some of the coolest Star Wars crossover art I’ve ever seen, and I’ve posted a lot of this stuff over the years. It’s from artist Clinton Felker, and there are four more of his pieces focusing on other characters below.

Check them out for yourself, and I hope he continues the series with Luke, Leia, Han and so forth.

I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.
