Star Wars never looked so real
This set of images, where the Star Wars scenes appear so realistic, is called “StArt Wars”. The shooting of the photos happened in Dubai and is directed by photographer Cedric Delsaux from France. The project shows how Star Wars would look if it took place on the earth instead of the space.
He is an awarded photographer and winner of the newcomer’s “France Bourse du Talent” competition which stands for “Young Talent Award for Photography”. If you are a Star Wars fan you should check out why Star Wars movie posters in Russia differ from other posters.

Feb 10, 2010Uhhhh who told you that these look like Star Wars?
Feb 10, 2010The aesthetics are completely irrelevant.
Star Wars fan like whole my family. I like this pictures a lot.
Feb 12, 2010Cool! Star Wars in real life environments. My favourite is the last one (AT-AT)
Feb 18, 2010Starwars never looked this much like District 9
Feb 18, 2010One thing I always hated about Star Wars was it’s muppet-like sets. I guess they had to make them that way to blend in with their 70’s space models.
Feb 18, 2010where can i get a print or hd version of the AT AT in the mist
Feb 18, 2010These are fantastic. Thanks.
Feb 18, 2010excellent collection I like this pictures, star wars foreva
Feb 18, 2010Some of the pics are cool. I don’t see a link with the construction ones though. Good photography nevertheless.
Feb 18, 2010AT AT in the last pic is waaaay too big.
Feb 18, 2010The 9th image, the stormtrooper sitting up in the roof is incorrect in size, compared to those on the floor. He looks 12ft tall.
proportion fail
Feb 19, 2010Are all of these in Dubai? I see at least a few areas that I recognize…
Feb 19, 2010Wow, I should read the words instead of just looking at the pictures…lol
Feb 19, 2010@Don
Wow. Everything about your sentence is incorrect.
On topic: Some of these are terrible, but Vader and the trade federation droids sitting on the car are great.
Feb 19, 2010@steve
Look again. He’s not “sitting on a roof.” He’s riding a speeder bike, and is closer to the camera, hence his lager size.
Proportion correct.
/fix’d
Feb 19, 2010Oh these are totally good. Its cool if we would have seen them in Africa or China
Feb 19, 2010@STEVE “The 9th image, the stormtrooper sitting up in the roof is incorrect in size, compared to those on the floor. He looks 12ft tall.
proportion fail”
its because they are battle droids…analysis fail
Feb 19, 2010Ha ha, minor discrepancies in proportion in otherwise beautiful and unique photographs should be brought to attention so that EVERYONE KNOWS HOW SMART I AM.
Feb 19, 2010Who cares? Get over it.
Awesome. Are these in Desktop-Resolution available somewhere? The AT-AT would be the greatest Wallpaper ever.
Feb 19, 2010@steve, thats because he is not sitting up in the roof. He is riding a speederbike and is closer to the camera than the rest of the group.
perception fail….
Feb 19, 2010Shows you how computer graphics and new developments still do not match real world scenes and great cinematography. Time to make a new star wars in this tone.
Feb 19, 2010Steve in the 9th image, The Biker Scout you are referring to is not “sitting up in the roof” he is riding a speeder bike (the ones from Endor) and he is much closer to front which is why he appears to be bigger. Look at it again.
Feb 19, 2010Reminds me of Irobot
Feb 19, 2010What’s happening in the 12th photo with all the cranes? I can’t see anything Star Warsy. Is it the yellow crane in the foreground?
Feb 19, 2010Lee, there is a battle droid on top of the crane.
Feb 20, 2010Several of the battle droid shots are good, but most of these are awful. In many of these, the scale is way off, and the project comes across as lazy or amateurish photoshop work done on a hot Friday afternoon after a heavy lunch. If a friend did this and emailed them to me, I would laugh a little and delete it. This is by no means professional level work.
Feb 23, 2010Got any higher resolutions? Dying to make some of these my background…
Feb 23, 2010I like these pics!
Mar 30, 2010Better late, than never.
Apr 21, 2010That is soooo neat , istunned , a great idea , very well executed ! , wicked! thanx for sharing !
May 6, 2010This makes me remember the first movies of Star Wars. It is so like Star Wars to me. This are good projection of Star Wars.
Thank you for the post. When you have time, feel free to visit mine.
Jun 10, 2010@STEVE – That isn’t a droid sitting on the roof, it’s one of those flying scout things you see in the Hoth planet battle. Comment fail..
Jul 12, 2010Please tell you me you have high-resolution versions of these images that you’ll post at a later date?
