Artist Bjorn Hurri is really making some amazing Star Wars steampunk illustrations. He has included all of the well-know characters like Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Yoda, Jabba, Jawas and of course the Storm Troopers.

The illustrations are very detailed like no other that we’ve seen of Star Wars characters. The most surprising thing is that who would have known that Star Wars and steampunk would go so well together? You can also take your chances and see if internet roulette can bring you some of these, as bonus reward.. While you are waiting at the lobby of the casino, try not to be such a geek about Star Wars.

It looks like they are made for each other. Maybe they should have had steampunk themed Star Wars movies, maybe it would turn out better? The style really gives the figures more attitude and class in a way. They look fashionable in an old-fashioned way. Some of them are very fun too, so there is something for everybody in Hurri’s collection of Star Wars steampunk.
