This talented artist combines the galactic characters of Star Wars with dainty Disney princesses. These quirky mashup images are a great way to promote the upcoming Star Wars film.
While Disney princess posters circulate the internet daily, this particular collection boasts a meaningful connection to current pop culture. Each of the characters is a hybrid version of a Star Wars character with an obvious nod to a specific Disney princess. For example, Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid' has been re-imagined as JarJar Binks. The top half of the character's body is the alien-esque Star Wars creature while the lower half is the mermaid's elegant green tail.
Each of the hybrid characters is created with soft colors and character-specific details which project familiar character combinations.
