    Star Wars Characters Reimagined as 80s High School Teens and It’s Totally Rad

    Let's be real—Star Wars may have taken place "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away," but it screams 1980s. The tech? Peak retro-futurism with blinking, unlabeled buttons and clunky hardware that looks straight out of an arcade cabinet. The vibe? Pure 80s rebellion—big dreams, big hair, and a free-spirited attitude that defined the decade. George Lucas may not have set his story in the 80s, but the cultural influence of that era is woven into its DNA.

    That's why artist Denis Medri's reimagining of Star Wars characters as 80s high school teens works so perfectly. He's taken the galaxy's most iconic rebels and given them varsity jackets, denim vests, Walkmans, and classic John Hughes-style attitudes. Leia as the queen bee, Luke as the fresh-faced jock, Darth Vader as the leather-jacket-wearing bad boy… it all just clicks.

    So grab your scrunchies, crank up the synth music, and scroll through these fantastic reimaginings of Star Wars—because the Force is strong with the 80s.
