J.J. Abrams might have been tasked with bringing the Star Wars characters back to life on the silver screen, but artist Andy Stattmiller is trying to shrink the whole franchise.
Stattmiller has created an entire set of nesting dolls replicating the galaxy far, far away. Everyone, from Han Solo to Obi Wan, C3PO to Vader, makes an appearance -- just much smaller than we've seen them before. The R2D2, Stattmiller says, is just three-quarters of an inch tall.
The set of dolls took about three weeks to paint, Stattmiller tells Mashable.
"I had previously made a Ghostbusters set, followed by a Simpsons set. For the nesting dolls, I like to do themes that have a cult following," he says. "There are so many details you just have to get right, or else a hardcore fan will call you out on it."
