Begun, the Star Wars Brand Wars Have

If the Jedi, Sith and Galactic Empire had logos and slogans, they might look like this.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away - oh, come on, you know the story by now: Little Jedi Jesus gets rescued from a desert world, has an extremely poorly written love affair with a queen, has kids, turns evil, gets defeated by his kids and then turns good again and dies.

One thing that the Star Wars universe doesn't have, however, is clever branding with attractive logos and snappy slogans. Graphic artist Barn Bocock of How to Carve Roast Unicorn [http://howtocarveroastunicorn.com/] wanted to change this, and reimagined modern corporate logos to include elements from that great sci-fi fantasy adventure.

I think my personal favorite might be MasterYoda - "Judge me by my credit limit, do you?" - but I have to admit, the Empire has pretty slick brand work. Maybe I'll support the Dark Side just a bit ... you can do that, right?

That is awesome! I have to agree, I like the Master Yoda card.

 

[RuralGamer]

Imperial; "The most powerful all use the Dark Side's favourite!"

or how about

Jabba the Hutt; "Keeping eating and you'll look just like him!"

Lol this reminds me of that t-shirt; "Join the Empire, travel to new and exotic locations; meet a hive of scum and villainy; disintegrate them."

 

[Spinwhiz]

These are awesome. One of each please!

 

[Thumper17]

I want these all on t-shirts, now.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Th Jabba Hutt doesn't surpise me and who or what would use the Mcdonald logo? Either way the sports look awesome. I mostly buy Addidas so that make me a supporter of the Empire?

 

[subtlefuge]

The Empire one. Hands down. Who do I give my money to?

 

[Metal Brother]

Some people have too talent and creativity for their own good.

 

[DustyDrB]

And yet Jabba the Hutt manages to be less gross than Pizza Hut.

 

[Spade Lead]

The Empire one. Hands down. Who do I give my money to?

Empire IS everything...

I was actually hoping there was a class action lawsuit or something and Lucasarts was tearing itself apart. This is incredibly disappointing. I was expecting to see the end of this nonsense, not more of it!

 

[SomeBrianDude]

I know I'm propping up an evil dictatorship, but I've got to go for the Imperial one. There go all my socialist ideals, turns out I'm nothing but a fascist...

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Spoiler: First thought on seeing Jabba the Hut

I wonder if that was intentional...

 

[INeedAName]

The Burger King one is extra funny in Swedish, Fett means fat.

 

[Adam28]

I don't care how people look at me for it, I wan't imperial football (soccer) boots now. I might be able to get them custom made.

 

[Tomster595]

I second that motion

Jabba the Hutt. It's so obvious, yet so perfect

Maybe use one of those red dual linked looking star ships as the Logo for McDonalds while calling it:

Cloud City
over 6 billion Rebels served

[sshakespeare]

surely MACEter card is better
