I’ve spent the majority of the holiday today watching Spike TV’s marathon of all six Star Wars movies, so I have Star Wars on the brain. (I know, I know, why am I watching these movies on TV with commercials — especially since the original trilogy is the Special Editions — when I own the DVDs? It makes no real sense, I understand, but it’s just one of those things — if it’s on TV, I’m compelled to watch).
Anyhow, it reminded me that a week or so ago I saw a bunch of really cool Star Wars character portraits by artist Greg Peltz that I wanted to share with you all. There’s Victorian-era steampunk versions of Boba Fett, C-3PO, and Chewbacca, as well as Civil War-era Darth Vader. Peltz also put up a new Civil War-style portrait yesterday of Luke and Leia called ‘Siblings’.
See all five images here below and be sure to check out Peltz’s blog for more of his work.

They’re alright. My favorites are Bruce White’s black velvet paintings of iconic science fiction characters: http://brucewhite.deviantart.com/gallery/
