The newest venture between Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd. has inspired illustrator James Silvani to create some adorable mashup art of Disney fairytale characters and Star Wars creatures. George Lucas is acquiring $4.05 billion from the transaction, which Lucas has announced he is donating to charity. With Disney announcing the release of three new Star Wars films starting in 2015, illustrator James Silvani poked fun at the combining companies.
From Beauty and the Beast dressing up as Princess Lea and Chewie to Donald Duck impersonating Darth Vader, the mashup combinations are endless. The ever-so-adorable mixture of both fairytale companies has led to speculation about the impending ventures in store for the Star Wars francise and Disney.
