From a galaxy far, far way to your back yard.

By digitally altering photographs of major cities like London, New York City and Tokyo, French art director Nicolas Amiard brings battleships of sci-fi movie franchise Star Wars to our earthly terrain.

"I thought the scene of the crashed destroyer in the latest trailer very inspiring. Star Wars is an imaginary universe and bringing elements from this universe in our real world seemed to be a very interesting contrast to work on," Amiard said to Mashable.

Iconic vessels like TIE fighters, Star Destroyers and the Millenium Falcon are found on some of the most famous sites in the world in Amiard's series, which possibly implies that both the Rebels and the Empire are looking for a good vacation.

Amiard's series, as well as his other artwork can be seen on his official website and on Behance.
