The bleak world of Star Wars

A French photographer, Cedric Delsaux, has created scenes similar to the one above which place Star Wars subjects against bleak urban backdrops. By using such stark urban settings, icons of the Star Wars franchise seem to fit into modern-day France perfectly.

Subjects which Delsaux has used in his collection include C-3PO and R2-D2 looking at a derelict Citroen, Darth Vader swiping his lightsaber against a building and Jango Fett holding up a car.

Delsaux used image manipulation software to merge the images of the subjects and backdrop; 'I decided to mix together the common suburbs and some fantastic characters, which I think has created something poetic,' he said.
