Star Wars spaghetti western posters

published 19 August 2012

You only need to glance at Han Solo (an archetypal gunslinger) strutting through Mos Eisley Cantina (Old West saloon) to realise that Star Wars is a western. But one artist has taken that notion and portrayed the movie's posters in a beautiful spaghetti western style.

Artist Tim Anderson said: "I decided to take a brief break from the pulp series to combine another two series/genres that are near and dear to my heart: Star Wars and spaghetti westerns. These are posters re-imagining the classic Star Wars trilogy as old Italian-produced westerns of the late '60s."

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
