In November 1977, the US Vogue magazine featured a groundbreaking photo shoot that merged the worlds of Star Wars and high fashion.Photographer Eisuke Ishimuro and stylist Jade Hobson collaborated with Lucasfilm to create an 8-page spread showcasing luxury fur coats alongside iconic Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, C-3PO, and Stormtroopers.The shoot, which took place in Los Angeles, aimed to capture the graphic, two-dimensional aesthetic of the film through sharp, high-contrast imagery.

While the final published photos presented polished, staged scenes of supermodel Jerry Hall and Maria Hanson modeling extravagant furs next to rigidly posed characters, behind-the-scenes outtakes revealed a more chaotic and playful atmosphere.

The shoot involved logistical challenges, including transporting multiple trunks of costumes daily and managing the extreme heat generated by C-3PO's costume, which had to be worn for only short periods.This unique fusion of sci-fi iconography with fashion history remains a celebrated example of creative cross-pollination in the 1970s.
