Last week, for whatever reason (possibly this wonderful short from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) I had the idea of making an abstracted retelling of Episode IV. I've plugged away at it for a while and I think I've finally settled on the design. I'm not sure if I'm entirely happy with the colour palette – the more it went on the more various hues insisted on being introduced – so I may tinker with that soon. But as it stands, this isn't such a bad start.

This seems like interpretive dance for my eyes.

I actually understand it.  It's like I'm the human equivalent of an enigma machine.

Does this make me stupid for not understanding? I kind of get the first few...

You gotta get that shit quilted, bro.

" @EpicSteve: I don't think it's your shortcoming at all, because I've deliberately gone out of my way to reduce the images, ideas and symbols to abstract shapes. Basically: it's not you, it's me. :) "

I actually understand a little of that. In the future, someone will find this and scientist will try and understand our culture by deciphering it.

That's really cool. I got most of it, but it took me a while to figure out Darth Vader. Other than that I thought it was really effective.

Really cool!

i get some of it.  i love the last few where the death star blows up.  that i can understand

What's the one above the torpedoes going in?
Also this is really cool.

" I have to say that I love how the last Darth Vader image represents his twirling out into space in the trench scene. "

thats really cool, i was able to understand a good amount of it, brilliant job

Man, that's sick! The upside-down Darth Vader made me laugh. :P

I saw your tweet about this a few days ago and it looks super neat. I'd pay to get a large print of that in my living room.

Dude, this is fucking awesome.

I find the older I get the less I give a shit about Star Wars.  Even so that picture is awesome.  I would love to see one done of Goodfellas. Robocop, or Die Hard.

Really nice job Buzz.

I thought I wouldn't get it, but I understood all of it. Amazing job!

" If you wanted to maybe sell this on canvas or or velvet or something I'd buy it. "

Absolutely brilliant! I'd totally buy a poster, or shirt, or something of this. You da man, man!

Most of the panels I can't work out, probably because it's been aggeesss since I've seen the movie. But it doesn't stop me from appreciating how awesome this is.
 
Now do other movies! =D
 
Actually, do some games.

I had to been meaning to watch that Pegg and Frost skit but hadn't got around to it yet, it was brilliant!
 
And your abstract interpretation of A New Hope was cool too.

Is it okay if I use that for a quilt pattern? I heard the chicks really dig trippy Star Wars quilts.

That was kind of amazing. I didn't get all of it, but I'm kind of bad at this kind of visual abstraction stuff. Well done.

But who shot first

This is excellent. You should try to network this a bit, I can see it becoming a bit of a meme.

this is rad

I got all but the poker chip looking one at F5

Well done. I got most of it.

Thank you for reawakening the star wars nerd inside me.

Ladies and gentlemen, buzz_clik puts the ON in iconography.

" I got all but the poker chip looking one at F5 "

A+ work as per usual

" i used my 500th post on you fool "
