While prowling around Dave’s Long Box for a seekritt project I found a link to Eric Poulton’s blog and his ideas for Star Wars rendered in steampunk. I’m just barely aware of steampunk, but as I understand it’s retro sci-fi set in the past – particularly the nascent industrial era – rather than the future, and usually with a Victorian flavor.
Here’s Poulton’s idea of what Han Solo & Mr. Chewbacca would look like.

I’m not generally a fan of steampunk stuff, because I always associate it with that horrible Wild, Wild West movie.
I’ve softened a bit on steampunk after Rise of Legends, which is a pretty fun game over all.
As far as steampunk goes, these pieces here are pretty cool. I don’t know that I’d ever want to see the entire Star Wars universe go that route, but hey. Could steampunkers screw it up any more than Lucas did?
Speaking of movies, Poulton’s art puts me in mind of David Lynch’s The Elephant Man.
