This year's presidential race was looking pretty boring. I mean, I do like the president ~~and not only because I grew up under Bush OMG~~, but exciting he is not, and Mitt Romney? C'mon. And I don't need to hear any speeches to know who I'm voting for, because I'd sooner cut my wrists than vote for a modern-day Republican, so I was all "meh" about it. But Bachmann's awful goes so far that even when she says things that are personally offensive to me, I can't bring myself to be offended because it's so ludicrous and I just laugh instead. It's like So Bad It's Good for politics.

Besides, I very much doubt that she can beat Obama, while Romney might have a fighting chance. So I hope she wins it on those grounds, too.

~~My stepfather considered registering as a Republican just to nominate her. I'll admit, I laughed, though I'm such a staunch Democrat that I suspect my brain would spontaneously explode if I tried.~~

Also, a(nother!) SW picspam while I'm here - I'll do the meme later this afternoon. Mostly art, this time.

Luke constructing his lightsaber, overseen by Daddy (?!) and Artoo.

I really like this. But is it just me, or is Vader using his blue lightsaber and Luke the red one? Now I'm imagining an incredibly bizarre scenario where Vader is trying to convince Luke to turn from the Dark Side. o_O

I don't remember where I got this, but -- best cupids ever, y/y?

Leia the Riveter!

The cover to Splinter of the Mind's Eye, because it's gorgeous, and I have a strange affection for it. Traumatized!Leia and cunning!Luke ftw! Also the requisite lolcest, because I can't even take it seriously.

This one is kind of random, but I like that (1) Luke and Leia are the dominant figures ~~just like in the movie~~ (2) the characters actually look like they do in the movie, and (3) why yes that does include Leia's full length robe and round cheeks. Also, Vader's lightsaber is a hair away from taking off Leia's arm. How ... strangely suitable.

Please tell me this comes on a shirt. <3 <3 <3

I found it here.

I don't even like the PT, but - baby Vader! I really like how he's Vader and has all the Vader paraphernalia, and all the scarring we saw in ROTJ, but he's clearly still a young ~~strangely attractive~~ man. And he's watching a hologram of Padmé ... wait, isn't that her wedding dress? OMG, he's watching his wedding.

MY TEARS

(I don't know who did this either. I just picked it up off tumblr. That's, uh, kind of the downside of tumblr.)

Vader and Luke concept art, I think? Or something, since that looks nothing like Luke

But this does! Commander Skywalker ftw

The main characters of my favourite movie.

Luke.

Ish.

Well, it's pretty anyway.

:D :D :D :D

Remember what I was saying about my tears?

Yeah, that. ;_;

Anakin and Luke Skywalker (obviously) by ~WannabeSpiderMan at deviantart

ROTS!Anakin and ROTJ!Luke, looking...recognisable. And similar! ~~Despite Luke's godawful ROTJ hair~~

This Anakin amuses me. <3

Last Daughter of Alderaan, by Adam Hughes

I try to make it a point of avoiding slave Leia pictures, but I think this one is legitimately gorgeous. Okay, and the little cancelled stamp kind of makes it for me.

This is, I suspect, how most people see Luke.

Leia by jackieocean at deviantart

...Wow. Just wow.

Leia concept art, gorgeous like most SW concept art. I've always wanted to see an icon of it or something - it's so cool! Even if the overlay thing is wonky. And I just love her expression.

Luke and... by djkaeru

It's okay, sweetheart. We love you.

I've seen this all over, but I still love it. Original and recognisable! And the blazing suns, OMG Tatooine <3

Luke and Leia by DavRab1 at deviantart

Luke and Leia - I don't love it (Luke is ...off and Leia too O_O for me), but I do really like it. Just the work on the lightsaber is pretty gorgeous.

Luke, as the most appropriate illustration for this card ever.

Also pretty cool.

I rather like this cover - Han looks perfect, Leia at least vaguely Leia-ish, and Luke like his most bishonen moments cranked up.

Some kind of cool posters!

Beatles + lightsabers. Why not?

Some things, once seen, can never be unseen.

These fandoms should meet up more often.

ahahahahahahahahaha Tarkin was our president everything makes sense now

I'm not usually much for manips, but this is really gorgeous.

Another poster, with a strange lack of Han Solo. But Luke and Leia do look like twins. Blaster-toting twins.

My favourite weather report ever, though the next one is a serious contender.

Also, it's always Endor here.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but...

Another of Luke crafting his lightsaber. In standard Jedi robes, to boot.

This one looks kind of cool, even if I'm mildly bemused at making Padmé the dominant figure, since she's the only one in the main picture who isn't a Skywalker by birth.

If only the art on our walls looked like this!

Truth, this is.

Another poster. Hm, I wonder who the good guys are?? ~~And how many people were disappointed that Leia's robes actually go from her neck to her ankles?~~
