Anti-Empire protest

A Lego Starwars themed take on Marc Riboud's famous 1967 photograph taken at an anti-Vietnam protest in Washington (Original here ... img294.imageshack.us/img294/268/riboudhq5.jpg )

I didn't have enough 'real' soldiers to do it properly! :)

Fairly simple setup shot here ... www.flickr.com/photos/8258165@N07/2244518847/

Love this one. I actually think the Stormtroopers add something to it. Not just the nostalgic Star Wars flair, but a real, pardon the pun, dark side to the soldiers. At first I thought it was Kent State though:
