# Intergalactic Artistic Shirts This Star Wars Parody Tee From MissionThread Re-Imagines a Classic By Ashley Noelle Lesiak | Published 2014-02-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-parody References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/100003208/star-wars-american-gothic-parody-on-mens?ref=hp_trending) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/missionthread?ref=l2-shopheader-name) Make classic American art more galactic and awesome with this Star Wars parody tee shirt. On this men's shirt are two great American works of art brought together for you and your friends and family to behold. An [intergalactic space opera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set) about the struggles of living under and defeating an oppressive empire and a famous depiction of old time Americana are now intertwined to make a hilarious Star Wars parody tee. On the front of this [quirky fashion statement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1) is a screen print of Grant Wood's famous painting 'American Gothic.' Painted art has been parodied many times because of its fame. Some people even see the parodies before the real thing. The creator of this shirt 'MissionThread' has made one alteration to the original. The heads of the farmer and his wife are Storm Trooper helmets from Star Wars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Parody:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating artistic parodies that combine famous works of art with popular cultural references. - **Interconnected Themes:** Connecting seemingly unrelated themes, such as American art and Star Wars, can create unique and engaging products that appeal to a wide audience. - **Screen Print Adaptation:** Incorporating screen printing techniques to alter and adapt existing artworks can result in innovative and humorous designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the potential of combining art and pop culture references to create visually appealing and trendsetting clothing items. - **Art and Design:** Art and design professionals can explore the possibilities of incorporating popular culture elements into classic works of art to create new and engaging pieces. - **Printing and Apparel:** The printing and apparel industry can leverage screen printing techniques to create unique adaptations of existing artworks, opening doors for creative collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Custom Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucasfilm.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md) - [Hand-Knit Sci-Fi Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handknit-scifi-sculpture.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md) - [Millennium Falcon Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray.md)
