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.

It´s a great idea and i like the picture.
Chinese and Japanese don´t 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 don´t 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.

Falls es dich noch interessiert:
Es handelt sich um eine Parodie Mao's (China, Kulturrevolution).
Wie man auch bei uns immer wieder scherzhaft behauptet die Chinesen können kein "r" aussprechen - sondern angeblich nicht vielmehr als ein "l" von sich geben, so sind auch hier "r" und "l" vertauscht.
Der Text könnte also frei übersetzt heißen:"Sehet! Die schwarze Sonne, sie wird uns zu Ruhm und Ehre führen."
