This set of humorous vacation photos prove that even galactic warriors need to take a little down time every once in awhile.
Designed by artist Kyle Hagey, these silly sci-fi portraits feature various Star Wars characters taking a quick break from the sweat and toil of the galaxy to get some much needed time for themselves. Currently available on the Hagey's Esty page, this set of vacation photos features everything from Darth Vader daintily sipping from a teacup, a robotic droid enjoying a sip of wine and even some Imperial Stormtroopers riding a tandem bike through a flowery meadow.
A welcome interpretation of what can sometimes be an overly serious film franchise, this unique spin on the Star Wars universe shows that even robots sometimes need to sit back and smell the roses.
