Hubert de Lartigue Turns Old Subway Tickets into Yoda-Approved Art

I want to grow up and be Hubert de Lartigue. He combines the movie I love most, Star Wars, with the skill I envy the most, origami.

These origami Star Wars spacecrafts are every geek's dream come true. Finally, an original way to recreate the epic ships that dominated my youth. What’s even better is Hubert de Lartigue creates these original origami artworks out of used Paris subway tickets. That’s recycling I can support.
