LONDON -- You can do much more with A4 paper than creating rudimentary planes and deformed swans. Case in point: Kirigami paper artist Marc Hagan-Guirey, a.k.a. Paper Dandy, has used it to conjure entire Star Wars scenes.

His stunning creations, which go on display at London's 5th Base Gallery on Aug. 8, were sculpted from single sheets using only a scalpel.

The Cut Scene project, which took three years and was successfully funded on Kickstarter, features 12 original works that represent different moments from the original saga (think: lightsaber duels alongside scenes from the Millennium Falcon, the Cantina bar and bounty hunter Boba Fett's Slave 1 spacecraft). The artworks are presented inside lightboxes; the plain white paper constructions are turned into spellbinding sculptures at night.
