Description
Continuing with my series of Photoshops in which Darth Vader is incorporated into important moments in modern history, here we see the Dark Lord assisting the soldiers at Iwo Jima in raising the American flag as a squadron of TIE Fighters patrols overhead.Some of you may recognize this piece as I submitted it to a Photoshop contest on Fark.com.

You Know, I think that Nebiru up there may be a little too enthusiastic about the piece, but he is right: its a nice Work of Art.

This is pretty awesome. Nice, creative manip! The only thing I would have done is age the cutout of Vader a bit to more closely match the aging of the troops and the background; Vader still looks a little out of place. Other than that, great work!

Thanks. Yeah, in retrospect, I see all sorts of ways I could have made this piece look more natural; the only thing I did to match Vader to the rest of the image was add a smidgen of Gaussian blur.

man if darth vader was at iwo jima those jap suckers would have no chance, where was the death star when you need it, all they needed to do was set the setting on the laser a little lower.

Hahaha... makes you wonder exactly how much control did they have over the superlaser's strength? Could they have made it take out just one dude? Just disintegrate the living daylights out of one guy?

hitokirivader In reply to Ride-the-lightning10 [2007-08-22 06:08:58 +0000 UTC]
He IS evil. He told the soldiers he'd help them hoist the flag, but secretly he's pushing down.

I've got to show this to my stormtrooper garrison buddies in the 501st--our garrison logo is the Iwo Jima soldiers in stormtrooper armor. ^_^

Thanks! Maybe I should put in some stormtroopers in place of the soldiers and have them helping out Lord Vader.

I love it sooo much!
Although Vader kinda needs to be blurred s'more it looks great!
Maybe the flag could be the Imperial insignia and the soldiers could be stormtroopers?
I dunno
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! And yeah, I agree. In retrospect I should have done a lot more to Vader to make him match the photo better. A bit of noise and scratches to match the aging of the original photo.

COOOL, like it a lot.
The TIES shouldn't be there, but a small moon somethere in the sky, called by the insiders "Death Star" ...

hitokirivader In reply to Volhv [2007-08-22 08:36:23 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! But if the Death Star were there, the Japanese forces at Iwo Jima coulda been taken out in no time flat.

I thought the same as Benjamin-the-Fox about the flag.
But this is a very cool piece anyway!

At first I thought he was pushing the flag back down again . . . which somehow seems more appropriate for Vader.

I was afraid people would think that when I was first making this, but then I realized it worked for the character.

Actually it's pretty appropriate now, what with USA's quest for galactic domination and all. The Rebels are stronger
