# Wildlife Sci-Fi Posters 'Animal Wars' Cast Beastly Creatures as Star Wars Heroes By Jason Soy | Published 2012-01-19 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-wars References: [bitrebels](http://www.bitrebels.com/design/star-wars-inspired-animal-wars-illustration/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/ANIMAL-WARS/701125) With all the edits that are being made to the original [Star Wars movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-x-star-wars), this 'Animal Wars' poster makes perfect sense. After all, if George Lucas is going to keep altering parts of his [science fiction masterpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars), he may as well recast the entire series with wildlife creatures the same way artist Nomade has. It does, however, seem a little odd that Han Solo is a precious little kitten while Luke Skywalker is a fierce tiger given Solo’s role as a rugged and brash smuggler and Skywalker’s role of an intergalactic boy scout. Animal Wars was created for the [Animal Glam exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalsfilm) at Piel de Gallina, Mallorca. It parodies one of the most iconic posters of the Star Wars franchise and, given the chance, I’d pay to see a Star Wars film with animals instead of humans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal Recasting:** There is an opportunity to create animal-themed movies, TV shows, video games, and other forms of entertainment by recasting popular stories with animals. - **Sci-fi Parodies:** There is an opportunity to create sci-fi parody content using iconic sci-fi movies and TV shows as inspirations. - **Humor and Creativity:** There is an opportunity to create humorous, creative content that plays with pop culture references and the unexpected portrayal of characters. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry could take advantage of animal recasting and sci-fi parody trends to create new content for movies, TV shows, and video games. - **Art and Design:** Animal-themed art and design, such as posters, can be created for exhibitions, galleries, and other spaces that celebrate humor and creativity. - **Merchandising:** The merchandising industry could create animal-themed products, including toys and other items, that capitalize on the popularity of animal recasting and sci-fi parody trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Collectible Sci-Fi Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-coins.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Movie-Inspired Digi-Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi.md) - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md)
