Artist Steven Lear has created an awesome series of mashups that mixes together characters from Star Wars with classic music album covers. You can check out the entire series on Facebook, Instagram, and his website. These are pretty perfect. Love that Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here cover.
These album covers with Star Wars makeovers are sure to put a smile on your face. We are all eagerly waiting for the Force to awaken, so here’s something to feast your eyes on in the meantime. This fun series called “Star Wars Bands” takes familiar album covers and puts them in a galaxy far, far away.
There’s Obi Wan Direction‘s “Up All Knight”, and Jabba’s “Greatest Hutts” and much more. Lady Jar Jar seems very appropriate. Our favorites are below.
io9 commenter poorfishy made these cool TV and movie posters, inspired by rock album covers. I really like them and need them now to hang on my walls. Han Solo and Greedo in Grease. Sign me up. It’s like seeing vintage vinyl album covers from an alternate reality.
There’s The Beatles, Duran Duran, The Who, Olivia Newton John, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses and more all mashed up with some of our favorite characters.

If you recognize Roger Dean’s amazing Sci-Fi landscapes, it is probably because you first saw them as album covers, for bands like Asia and Yes. I knew that would jog your memory. These exotic and vibrant illustrations are stories just waiting to be told. You see these landscapes and your imagination immediately takes over, populating them with aliens and making them live.
You might also think that Dean’s work looks a lot like the alien world from James Cameron’s Avatar. Well, Dean thought so too and in June of 2013 he filed a lawsuit in New York against James Cameron. He is seeking damages in excess of fifty million dollars. Whatever really happened there, Dean created his worlds first and he didn’t need 3D and millions of dollars to do it.
