Artist Reimagines Star Wars Characters With Cute Matching Cats
Griz and Norm Lemay found a playful way to mash up two fan favorites, Star Wars and cats, and the result is as charming as it sounds. The Disney animators created a series of illustrations that pair iconic characters with the perfect feline sidekicks, from Princess Leia with a fluffy white cat to R2-D2 with a spotted companion. Ray, Padmé Amidala, BB-8, and even Baby Yoda all get their own cat matchups, and each one feels surprisingly spot on.
The collection keeps going beyond Star Wars, with more pop culture favorites and a few spooky, stylish, and artistic twists. It is the kind of project that makes you stop, smile, and wonder how the artists came up with each pairing.
Some of these cats are pure perfection, and a few are even funnier than the characters themselves. Read on.
