The original characters from Star Wars at Burning Man’s Black Rock Desert? Yes please.

This cultural mashup takes the best from the iconic films and transports them to the world’s biggest party of art and self expression.

Artist Peio Duhalde works with Midjourney to imagine these scenes, which seem plausible, considering the staggering creativity that goes into Burning Man each year.

From C-3PO DJ-ing live sets, to Chewbacca getting his dance on, to Han Solo bicycling on the playa, the scenes feel downright nostalgic. The AI-assisted art strikes the right balance of tone, setting, and mood.

For anyone that’s attended the desert festival, it’s charming to see some of the most recognizable characters in familiar settings.

    Cool. But what do the actors get out of it.

  2. How come? We think it’s among the best of the tools available. AI art is still in its infancy, but deserves to be explored.

  3. Disappointed to see midjourney art on here.
