Sato Hageshi – Lord Selfie in Edo – Darth Vader – Signed and Numbered 4/10

In a darkly comedic ukiyo-e crossover, Darth Vader casually takes a selfie amidst the fiery destruction of a traditional Japanese town. As torii gates collapse and buildings burn behind him, the Sith Lord poses unbothered, as if documenting a vacation highlight. The anachronistic presence of a modern smartphone adds a satirical twist, merging galactic tyranny with today’s culture of social media vanity.
