I love World War II propaganda posters and I love Star Wars. That people have been combining the two might be one of the happiest experiences of my life.
I’ve not been able to track down all of the artists involved with these pieces of art, some of them have proliferated too far and wide. If you know the artist of a piece, please leave a link to their work in the comments. This is the reason you should, in this day and age, always put a URL on your work.

There is one propaganda poster I haven’t seen aped in a Star Wars style and seeing it would just make me happy. Cliff Chiang, the artist behind more than a few of the posters above, might be the only person who could do it justice.
But of my favorite World War II propaganda posters, this one makes me giggle every time. And can you see Luke in a speeder with a ghosty Palpatine? That would just make me laugh and laugh and laugh.
“When you ride alone, you speed with Palpatine… Join a speeder sharing club today!”
