With Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost here, the folks at Car Wow have been passing the time by designing some cool new Star Wars themed cars. They have reimagined some popular characters as flashy sports cars.
I love them all, with one exception. Can you guess which one I think should be left in a junk yard? I’ll give you a hint. “Mes’a get good gas mileage Ani. Choose me.”
Star Wars goes Greek in this cool art series from Travis Durden. The characters of Star wars get mashed up with greek sculptures. To create these classic new sculptures from the old ones, Travis took pictures of statues on display at the Louvres and then asked a 3D modeler to design the heads.
After that he used a retoucher to put the Star wars heads on the bodies. The concept is simple and the end result is stunning. It makes you look at these characters in a whole new light.
Pedal cars. Everyone loves them. Even Geek culture icons. This series by Chet Phillips is simply called the “Pedal” series. It features famous geek culture movie characters driving pedal cars that match them. This series is super fun and playful. Below are just some of our favorites. I have to say, I love the sight of Crow T. Robot driving a Tom Servo car.
The best part is that you can buy prints, or a hardbound book with the illustrations from Chet’s Etsy shop.

Bite my shiny metal bat! What? Andy Whittingham created this fun mashup featuring our favorite wisecracking robot, Bender Bending Rodríguez as, well, just about every geek character we love. Bender as Batman, Bender as Boba Fett, C-3PO and more.
Bender’s camouflage technique is is pretty awesome, now if he could only change his shape, we might be fooled.
Check out our favorite Star Wars characters as fashion icons. I guarantee that you have never seen Luke, Yoda and the rest of the gang like this before. This is the work of Taipei City, Taiwan based artist Bam! Bam! Bam! I really like what he did here. I love seeing some of my favorite heroes and villains in ways that I have never seen them before.
Even Chewy is getting in on the act and you don’t often see him wearing any clothes.
Sean Tourangeau is obviously a huge Hockey fan as well as being a geek. So he combined both of those passions to create this awesome set of geek themed Hockey jerseys. They include everything from a Star Trek team with Riker(Who is appropriately number 01) to Bruce Wayne’s jersey from the Gotham Bats. I especially like the Star Trek Red Shirts team jersey and the Transformer versions.
This reminds me that we need more geek-themed sports teams. Get on that DC and Marvel. And the rest of you. The players could cosplay while playing their sport.
FPArtistry has created some really fantastic mashup posters featuring Doctor Who and Star Wars. I love what he did with the original Star Wars trilogy posters. Especially A New Hope featuring the ninth doctor, Rose and a Dalek. I have to have these now! I also like “The Dead Awaken” which is Star Wars: The Force Awakens combined with the Series 8 two-part finale of Doctor Who (Dark Waters and Death in Heaven).
Check out the rest of the posters on sale. They make some amazing stuff.
Last week was Back To The Future overkill as we all celebrated the arrival of Doc Brown and Marty McFly in our time, their future. Marvel Comics got in on the fun too and released the cover art for Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #2. It was created by artist Reilly Brown who may be the son of Doc Brown for all we know. Obviously this cover pays homage to the poster for the classic time-traveling adventure film. That taxi is no Delorean however.
Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #1 is out right now. The second issue doesn’t come out until January. I love this tribute to one of my favorite movie franchises.
Artist Chris Thornley created these retro art prints based on Charlie Brown as Indiana Jones. You’ll notice that there is one print for each movie in the original trilogy. Nothing for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And I’m okay with that.
Good grief these are cool! I’ve never been a big fan of the Peanuts gang, but mashups like this get my attention. I might read some Peanuts comic strips if they feature more of my heroes like Indiana Jones. These are part of New York City’s Bottleneck Gallery’s NYCC collection, and if you like them you can purchase them here.

People like to mashup Disney Princesses with all kinds of other things, but Disney Princesses in the Star Wars universe may be among the weirdest ever. Belle as a wookiee? Jar Jar as Ariel? Aurora The Hutt? Cinderella the Protocol Droid? These images are just plain wrong. Still, they are sure to give you a laugh.
This is the work of BuzzFeed contributor Bill Varner. You shouldn’t have Bill. No, really. What have you unleashed upon the world?
