This man's 'Star Wars' illustrations are sweet pun perfection
LONDON -- Remember those stupendously pun-filled Chewbacca cartoons that did the rounds a while back?
Well London-based illustrator Joe Stone, the man behind the puns, has made a return.
"I basically got too excited about Rogue One coming out and couldn't resist going back to them, and I wanted to play around with a few different characters," Stone told Mashable.
"Mostly I just wanted to draw Admiral Ackbar because his face is great."
Stone shared the new series of nine images -- embedded below -- on his Instagram over the last few days.
Kylo Zen.
3DPO and R3D2.
Pan Solo.
Princess Slayer.
Boba Sweat.
Nuke Skywalker.
Admiral MacBar.
Spin Erso.
Finally, LAN Solo.
"I'm particularly proud of LAN Solo because it just such a stupidly nerdy joke and I managed to hide an extra geek reference in the image," said Stone. "And also the droids one because after a fair bit of trial and error I managed to make it actually work in 3D if you wear old school red/blue glasses."
Stone has previously drawn similarly punny series based on Stormtroopers and Darth Vader. He told us he's planning to give Star Wars a break for awhile now, though.
"I'm a bit concerned with the law of diminishing returns with these since I've done quite a few now, so I'm not sure if I'll do any more Star Wars ones anytime soon," he said.
"I have had a couple of ideas for applying the same idea to other films and characters though, so maybe I'll do that next year…"
