# Google image search for "classic art"
turns up two star wars themed pics on the first page, one of which is from Worthless1000. Retro sci-fi is sooooo played.

# Battlestar Galactica
in this case... or is it Kitt?

I saw 3 plus a generic robot in the top 5 and a full majority of SciFi themed parody in the first page.

but these are the cultural icons of several generations - who are we to judge?

# I'm mofaha.
Several generations have not passed since the last time this compo aired, unless we're talking about insects.
So, we're going to get a lot of the same crap (by which I mean Star Wars images crow-barred into old paintings) again.
This offends me; and incidentally I'm pretty sure it offends my cats, they're just too lazy to moan about it.

# Also:
Fuck, I really didn't look at that results page closely enough... about half of them are star wars themed.
Tuna is taking this pretty hard, she's sleeping right now to recover.

# fuck yeah
if we're going to just repeat challenges (as opposed to having remarkably similar topics to those previous, or those already done by worth1000 etc.) it should be this one

# Please - no more moaning cats! (see recent links)
I was trying to say that the confluence of popular Science Fiction/Fantasy images and conceptual parody is going to be a continuing theme at places like B3TA - they are obvious, sometimes, but probably just as relevant as commercial products, TV, pop music, or political icons.

I am as guilty as many others here for going for the quick Star Wars reference, but I am sometimes very "I Like This!" for a well done funny twist on the old saws.

# To be honest
I think nearly every challenge turn up at least one great pic each time.
I do think this one's a little stale though.
