Artist turns major figureheads into characters from Star Wars

An artist has created a unique homage to the world's political, cultural and historical icons - by immortalising them as Star Wars characters.
Mike Leavitt, from Vashon Island near Seattle, Washington, wanted to 'document the pulse of our times' through sculpture by splicing the fictional characters with famous faces.
Although he chose a sci-fi saga as a basis for what he calls his 'pop culture satirical mash-ups', he says he sees himself working in the same tradition of Greco-Roman statuary.

1. That's NOT art.

3. If the artist sculpted them, then it's art.

Whether it's good art or not, it's up for debate.

7. Well, there's more compelling art that doesn't get the viral treatment, that's for sure.

And hy is Obama cast as Lando Calrissian, I wonder?

8. I don't know.

But I wouldn't have minded seeing this exhibit. It looks like fun. Art doesn't have to always eb so serious.
