This year, on May the 4th, DeviantArt wants to pay tribute to all the amazing artists who continue to produce inspired works as dedicated fans to honor the Star Wars characters and iconic scenes we know and love… and even the ones that cause the hate to flow through us. From strapping Han Solo to laughing Salacious Crumb, from Jar Jar’s clumsiness to K-2SO’s brutal honesty, the Star Wars Universe (and, dare we mention, the Expanded Universe) is well-represented in the DeviantArt community.
Last winter brought the sad news of Carrie Fisher’s passing. As often happens when a voice of such illumination is suddenly silenced, our community reacted in the best way they knew how -- with an outpouring of emotional works of art, each conveying the strength and regality of her most famous role.
