Darth Hitler VS. Rebel Scum George Washington

Pop culture and history collide in Peter Adamyan's Star Wars portraits of Hitler and Washington for WWA Gallery’s Creepy Cute show.

Shockingly, I don't think I've ever see Hitler literally as Darth Vader.

Looking forward to seeing a larger version, but so far I can identify Marlin (Finding Nemo), Poseidon, Walter White (Breaking Bad), Clark Griswold, Darth Vader, Henry Jones, Sr., Jack Torrance, Homer Simpson, Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Doubtfire, to name a few.

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)
