Now, if this doesn't violate some sort of copyright infringement or piss someone off with how politically incorrect it is, then I am going to be very angry.

For digital imaging we had to make a digital image around the theme of fascism. I'm not a very politically involved person, so I chose the only politics I was familiar with- that of the GALACTIC EMPIRE. Actually, I'm kidding... I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I think he's one of the most recognizable characters of evil in fiction next to say, Hannibal, and he is a bit of a fascist, so I decided to do a series of images which combined propaganda/hype images with Darth Vader as the figurehead.

This one is based off of a Communist propoganda poster from the 60's which was originally celebrating Mao. The original said "Behold the red sun that will lead us to glory," and I wanted to rewrite it to say "behold the black sun that will lead us to glory" because I thought that was a good reference to vader/death star, etc. However, I don't know chinese even though i am half, so i rewrote it in engrish. Hehe. Anyone get my potshot at ST?

Oh man, I'm going to get shot.

I had to reread it a few times before I got it. Is it bad that I laughed a little?

I don't think it works, Darth Vader has better correlation with Nazi movement if anything.

It's a fine illustration though, great to think about

Itīs a great idea and i like the picture.
Chinese and Japanese donīt mix good though. Star Wars is taken from models of japanese samurai, Darth Vader from a specific one whose name i forgot, but the internet is your friend if you want to know. The Chinese heavily fought them and still donīt like them mostly.

Then, "Black Sun" was a esoteric Nazi project, promoting secret wisdom from "Thule" and other stuff.

So yes, very politically incorrect, but rocking.

The Black Sun was also the most powerful and infamous crime syndicate of it's time in the star wars galaxy
