Star Wars is great, don’t get me wrong. I grew up on it. But don’t tell me you never once thought, “maybe it’d be a little bit better with some cars in it…” England’s Carwow wondered the same thing, so it gave automotive illustrator Yasid Oozeear a simple prompt: What earthly cars would Star Wars characters choose? And how would they modify them?
Yasid’s answers are awesome. From Han’s Millennium Hellcat (it gets the hole shot), to Wedge Antilles’ Lamborghini A-wing, to the ‘Mater-like Jar-Jar Juke, the artworks cover the sublime and ridiculous.
THE LIGHT SIDE
Wedge Antilles’ Lamborghini A-wing
This may be my favorite. He’s made it look so at home off-road with the wings. Oh, and there’s just a whiff of Doc Brown Delorean in there. Perfect.
Han Solo’s Millennium Hellcat
Aside from the name, I’m not sold on Han’s ride. The Touring Car treatment I love, but the grille makes it look like it’s going backwards at high speed. Good for outrunning Imperial patrols, I suppose.
Luke Skywalker’s Mazda MX-5 Land Speeder edition
Yasid loves stance and executes beautifully here. It’s a little anti-Miata ethos, yet it looks like it belongs in a race series. Would drive.
