It's the third of Aste's pieces mixing a galaxy far away with familiar local views. The most complex of his Star Wars and Vancouver mash-ups so far, the image features a huge AT-AT walker in the park while Rebel X-wings and TIE fighters rip around above the park and skim over Coal Harbour.
'For part of the series, I used the planes from Harbour Air Seaplanes (a DHC-3) and the people on the picture to get size references for everything,' writes Aste on Reddit. This time he's upped the difficulty level with a full-on battle in and around Stanley Park and the 9 o'clock gun. He's working on a series of images, dropping some of Star Wars' most famous vehicles into some of Vancouver's most famous views.
Vancouver digital artist David Aste is at it again.
