Star Wars Vs. Pirates of the Caribbean

So if Darth Vader is Davy Jones, who took over the Flying Dutchman when he died? It should be the Emperor, but Vader killed him. So would it be Luke? (Davy Vader by Plinio Pinto at Draw2D2)

Outside of Han Solo, R2-D2 is really the only character that could play Jack Sparrow. (R2-D2 Sparrow by Andres Rivera at Draw2D2)

The Galactic Empire Times

If you haven't seen this parody of the New York Times/death of Osama bin Landen, it's worth checking out. It's got online news media down to a science, complete with comments: "Why are we still giving aid to Tatooine? They probably knew of Kenobi's existence the whole time and even helped him! That whole planet is just a big hive of scum and villainy." to op-eds: "Their Only Hope: The War on the Rebllion After Obi-Wan Kenobi"

Actually, it's the comments that really make it. (Thanks, @boyreporter)

For the upcoming Spoke Art Quentin vs. Coen show Seth Patrick mashed up Donny from The Big Lebowski and Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs, and put it on the cover of a Pink Floyd album, of course.

Which reminded me of The Darth Side of the Moon by Vincent Carrozza. (Via Distracted By Star Wars)

From artist Pauline Acalin, who runs the pop-tastic tumblr pacalin: "As a kid, every time Willy Wonka said 'wonkavator', this is what I imagined in my mind. This is a sort of attempt at Wonka-Vader." So does that make the stormtroopers Oompa-Loompas?
