In the Spring, DeviantArtist Pushfighter released a fantastic set of [Disney Princess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection) [Star Wars portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2). These unique pictures included Ariel and Rapunzel as Jedi knights and Snow White as a Sith Lord.

Pushfighter has recently added a new set of portraits to the mix. Mulan is a bounty hunter, Jasmine is Leia in her infamous slave bikini, while Aurora is a carbonite-Frozen Han Solo. The latest addition to the [Disney Cannon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew), Elsa from Frozen also gets a redesign, this time as a Sith lord.

These mashups give the traditional Disney Princess a tougher edge and make them look capable of great action. It’s especially good to see Elsa so quickly accepted into the Disney Princess group, even though her film is only a few weeks old. These Disney Princess Star Wars fighters are fun and feisty.
