I love how much you have to look to find some of these.

Very nice! Especially appreciate the dead Jar-Jar.

Reminds me of my favorite example of such things.

When I was a kid, there was a water tower that we drove by often that was dark and rust, and had a lot of openwork support girders, and somehow it echoed the delicate, mechanical menace of the Imperial probe droid on Hoth. When I was around eight I used to stare at it to scare myself.

The Jawas in the trash pile are perfect.

They should have used Yankee Stadium for the baseball photo.

Er, why? Is there something especially relevant to lightsabers about Yankee Stadium?

If the field had the Imperial logo instead of the Rebellion's, maybe.

Not bad, not bad. I'm kind of partial to the A-wing doing a loop to loop, as you know, it had kick butt speed in X-Wing. Obviously.

I hate side-scrolling displays SO MUCH.

Came to post the X-Wing/Aircraft carrier pic, and found it took only 3 minutes to show up. Excellent work, Naberius.

I found a few more of note I had stashed around over the years, and I put a selection of the best and most relevant ones here. None of these are mine and I have no idea who was the original artist to give credit to, and I feel bad about that. Also, I'm not 100% sure if the last photo in the gallery I linked to is a 'shopped image or actually a real photograph.

Seems a lightsaber would make a completely ineffective baseball bat.

Works great in blernsball, though.

chambers, the last pic in your link is not 'shopped, but rather is a real picture of C-3PO conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in 1978.
