Timothy Anderson may completely change the way you see Star Wars with his Star Wars pulp covers. Anderson's newest work puts a spin on Episodes IV though VI, turning them into pulp sci-fi novels. Princess Leia is featured prominently on all three covers, but Han Solo and Luke Skywalker also manage to make an appearance.
In addition to changing the look of the series, Anderson also gave each film a new title to match the new look. (The Princess and the Scoundrel, based off of Episode V, is my personal favorite). The series adds an air of mystery and sexiness that the films in the series have always seemed to lack. The artist has made prints available, with each selling for $25.00 apiece.
