Going Rogue: Check Out this Gallery of Classic Star Wars Bounty Hunters

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Another day, another dollar. And a Star Wars link of note. To wit, take a peek at these cartoonized sketches of assorted bounty hunters, including Messrs. Fett (natch), from The Empire Strikes Back.

Via.

Quite possibly my favorite scene — ‎”You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations!” — from the original trilogy (kind of…):

New at Chop Shop this week is an interesting design, 80’s Filmography, so titled because it distills 22 classic films from that decade into simple icons, all of which are arranged in — get this — a figure 8 (how apropos).

I’m struck by the clean lines, the understated color combos and the sparing use of text, all of which recall the safety inserts you might typically find on an airplane (a design quality that most of Chop Shop’s tees share…). The majority of images here are fairly self-evident (E.T., The Terminator, Goonies, et. al.), but a few continue to elude my immediate recognition. Which begs my next question: how many of these badges can you identify? Conversely, which ones give you trouble?
