Star Wars then and Way back When

What do you get when you combine Star Wars action figures and overlay the Second World War on top of it?

The sheer awesomeness that is Star Wars 1942.



As you know, I don't have roots in the Star Wars fandom community, or in the action figure collecting one either, but wow... I love what they've done here. I mean, conceptually, it is almost pitch perfect, and the fact that both Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were in World War II movies early in their careers also works with this set too.

I'd also recommend checking out Steampunk Star Wars as well.
