    • migitalwarfare, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2based on your negative diggs... i'd say you're wrong
  • mrlivingston, on 04/16/2008, -5/+37I'm kinda surprised to NOT see Darth Vader in the Vice President's office.
    • erydan, on 04/16/2008, -1/+16Vader is not evil enough for that job.
  • Gregsaw, on 04/16/2008, -0/+11seems like the fett man is a parking lot security guy. i never thought of him as a law enforcer
    • LoveYouSomeEric, on 04/16/2008, -0/+19funny, I've never thought of parking lot security as law enforcement either.
  • amdforever, on 04/16/2008, -7/+2This ***** is so weird.
  • frepnog, on 04/16/2008, -18/+3those are some pretty lousy photoshops. sorry.

    not that i could do better, mind you.
  • Steinr, on 04/16/2008, -7/+3the force is strong in this one!
  • AClayeJ, on 04/16/2008, -7/+2These are about a year or more old.
  • Rikkochet, on 04/16/2008, -5/+28Did anyone else feel a Halflife 2 vibe from those shots?
  • goodylallen, on 04/16/2008, -8/+3that is effin cool. would've loved to see obe wan coming out of a strip club...an old jedi has needs!
    • loomis6335, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1*waves hand* you will sleep with me
  • MasterTroll, on 04/16/2008, -5/+7The imperial guards are pretty sweet

    /nerd
  • ClevelandBrown, on 04/16/2008, -2/+6Most impressive.
  • xDynaBlade, on 04/16/2008, -17/+5Buried for inaccuracy. This is in no way "cool stuff."
    • Mansellisme, on 04/16/2008, -2/+0You see, every TRUE Star Wars fan knows R2-D2 has a merc.
    • sandwichkid45, on 04/16/2008, -1/+1inaccuracy? wow... i didn't realize star wars was real... sorry some of us have an imagination
      • xDynaBlade, on 04/16/2008, -1/+1Nice comment, pal. Let me spell out exactly what I mean when I say inaccurate. The title of this is "Cool Stuff: Star Wars Urban Photography (PICS)" I buried it because the title is inaccurate. Why is it inaccurate? Because it's not cool, anybody can take an image and cut and paste it into another image. Nothing to be proud of.
  • hirshi, on 04/16/2008, -3/+13Dugg for combining reality with my favorite unreality.
  • levelred, on 04/16/2008, -1/+2It's a trap...

    I wish they had a modern bar scene...
  • BetterOffEd, on 04/16/2008, -23/+2Does every other post on Digg have to pertain to Star Wars in some way? Just asking...

    (go ahead and Dig me down now.)

    .
    • theMADone, on 04/16/2008, -1/+4as you wish my master.
    • AsSubtleAsABrik, on 04/16/2008, -2/+2I wish. I'd be having the ultimate nerdgasm constantly.
  • LogicBomB, on 04/16/2008, -1/+60These pictures make me think, Star Wars would be really, really awesome in a dark, surreal urban setting. I don't mean life as usual on earth with Star Wars characters running around but the Star Wars characters in the Star Wars universe being played out in a gritty ground-level environment.
    • nbcaffeine, on 04/16/2008, -0/+7There was the Coruscant undercity (I think it was in the paradise snare, part of han solo's trilogy), and the undercity in KoTOR. I always enjoyed the not quite so shiny part of the SW universe...
      • r2builder, on 04/16/2008, -2/+3NEEEEEEEEERD!

        Nah, just kidding.
        • nbcaffeine, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1I almost wrote the same thing in my comment... I last read that book like 10 years ago. Now i just play wow
    • Darthmalt, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1I.e. the wriath squadron, shadows of the empire, or han solo series.
    • antipoet, on 04/16/2008, -1/+2I always kind of already got that gritty feel from Star Wars. Thus why I enjoyed it so much more than Star Trek.
      • loomis6335, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1That and star trek has the same plot every episode. Star Warriors FTW!
  • AsSubtleAsABrik, on 04/16/2008, -2/+5The Vader one is the most badass of them all.
  • sambapati87, on 04/16/2008, -11/+5ZOMG STARWARS FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP
    • lordewoks, on 04/16/2008, -0/+9Yet another satisfied Digger preventing prostate cancer :)
    • xenuxenuts, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Is sambapati87 being offensive?

      No, just repeating a meme that was lame less than 24 hours after it's inception.
  • SpookyDIGG, on 04/16/2008, -12/+3these are all old school, bad photoshop jobs, the first one and the one with Boba Fett maybe, but they lack proper content, meaning and in some cases (ie: vaders lightsaber) good photoshop technique.
    • johnnyblazepw, on 04/16/2008, -4/+1/agree

      it seems like anything with star wars in it = lots of diggs. These are a cool idea but its not executed very well.
    • AGHatecraft, on 04/16/2008, -5/+1I must agree as well. Aside from the Fett photo, all of these are fairly boring and poorly executed.
    • antipoet, on 04/16/2008, -3/+1I'm digging you up too. I love the idea but damn if he couldn't have spent a few more on the artistic side of the concept. Maybe there's some diggers who'd be willing to show this guy up, technique-wise.
  • Sparticuz, on 04/16/2008, -0/+31need higher res!!
  • Scheissen, on 04/16/2008, -0/+13Are there any wallpaper sizes?
  • skyking3525, on 04/16/2008, -1/+9Captivating and beautiful. Higher resolution would be nice...
    • frasermoo, on 04/16/2008, -8/+3Women are captivating and beatiful. Fett in a parking lot is either cool as f*ck or as I am thinking here.. lame as f*ck.

      I like Star Wars as much as the next man, but some things should not be done 'just because they can'.

  • McDeath, on 04/16/2008, -1/+5This is the type of Star Wars material that I would like to see more often.
    Hurray cool French dude, keep up the good work!!!
  • TheHayze, on 04/16/2008, -1/+3My favorite is the one with the 2 imperial guards on that rooftop looking down. Reminds of how service service agents act.
  • sandwichkid45, on 04/16/2008, -2/+1an x wing in the parking garage would have been cool as well... crap, i gotta fire up photoshop now.
  • postalblowfish7, on 04/16/2008, -0/+10***** - the empire found Earth.
    • Jektal, on 04/16/2008, -0/+4Well, they beat the colonies and the cylons...
    • xNIBx, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Let's hope bsg finds earth too this season or else i am dropping this ***** soap opera.
      • Jektal, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1It's the last season, and I'm pretty sure they've stated in several interviews that they definitely will find and show earth
  • s0mekiter, on 04/16/2008, -1/+1ssoooo siiick
  • HibikiRush, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1I LOVE IT. Looks pretty good even with the higher-res. Creative idea wish I had thought of it!
  • cgrickard, on 04/16/2008, -1/+1saw this a long time ago......
    but it's freakin amazing.
  • smokingmole, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1this is WICKED awesome
  • slimjimworm, on 04/16/2008, -3/+2Blog Spam from MrBabyMan? WOW!
  • malademental, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1only 2 words :
    w00t w00t!!!!
  • ZiggyILM, on 04/16/2008, -0/+0why is Vader's saber black in the middle?

    ...these pics are wicked
  • kurupttek, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Star Wars - In the hood
  • vcleniuk, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Best shot: 3P0 and R2 with the junker.
    These may have made the rounds before, but it's the first I've seen of them.
  • oceanographer, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1All Wings Report In
  • Cofaloaf, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2We all know Dick Cheney hates to go outside.
  • kweli, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1new wallpaper day!
  • lacreme, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1shopped, the reflections are all wrong
  • simplegeek, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Higher resolution pics would be neat, but nice pics.
  • Ryusui, on 04/17/2008, -0/+0Those are pretty cool, especially the one of Vader
  • gage006, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3NEED wallpaper sizes.
  • brandonflakes, on 04/17/2008, -3/+0I don't know who started doing this first, but here's a link to some similar pictures in wallpaper sizes: http://www.toshistation.com/downloads.asp
  • donald347, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Holy ***** that's ***** epic.
