Star Wars first took the world by storm in 1977 with its modern special effects and spellbinding costumes and set designs. More than 3 decades later, the saga remains close to the hearts of Star Wars lovers, while captivating an entirely new generation of fans.
Nucleus has invited a diverse group of talent to celebrate their favorite Star Wars moments and characters. Join us as our gallery is transformed into a galaxy far, far away with a collection of over 100 original works inspired by the saga.
