The Fall Of Star Wars Battleships Images by Nicolas Amiard

Via Designboom.com:

paris-based graphic designer nicolas amiard imagines the convergence of fantasy and reality by bringing together contemporary cityscapes and the star wars series. amiard’s collection of digitally-enhanced images envision surreal yet strangely lifelike scenarios where battleships crash land in the middle of today’s most densely-populated urban landscapes. examples of the scenes include a lucrehulk-class droid control ship meeting a mountainous panorama as it falls into the coast surrounding rio de janeiro; an enormous star destroyer ship haphazardly lands just in front of paris’ seemingly minuscule eiffel tower; a millennium falcon spaceship unexpectedly collides into the water surrounding lower manhattan.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer – Fan Art Strikes Back

Via Thegaurdian.com:

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer wasn’t just a gift to the semi-dormant legion of Star Wars fans forced into hiding since The Phantom Menace came along. It’s also been tremendous boon to practitioners of internet fan art, arriving just as they began to tire of pictures where Harry Styles and Benedict Cumberbatch and Loki kiss each other on a cloud.

The Star Wars trailer has inspired creativity like little else before it. We’ve had analysis and liveblogs – and even a spoof trailer of George Lucas’s Episode VII, rendered unwatchable by millions of clunky CGI inserts.

But mainly we’ve just had fan art. This is why I’ve scoured Tumblr, Twitter and DeviantArt to bring you a definitive ranking of the key pieces, from best to worst:

1) This, of course, is just about the only sensible way to produce a poster based on a short and deliberately obtuse teaser trailer – just take the most iconic moment (in the case the new, ridiculously impractical-looking crucifix lightsaber), view it from a different angle and make it look really cool. Job done.
