If the story of Star Wars had been set in World War II, these would be the action figures sold to support the movies. This set of action figures was customized by Sillof. Yes, he could’ve cheated and substituted Indiana Jones for Han Solo, but he didn’t. See the collection at Gizmodo. Link
Also see Sillof’s Steampunk Star Wars figures. Link

Light sabers aside, the weapon’s choice is not consistent with good guys/bad guys (and biker scout’s V-twin engine neither…)
Good try though.

Not impressed. It completely loses the Star Wars feel, which already had a little WWII in it already.
It has no soul. Search your feelings – you know it to be true.

So, replace Star Wars Stormtroopers with the Nazi Stormtroopers they were directly based on?

What a clever idea, and well executed, imo (though I must say I’m unclear as to why Chewie would be wearing clothes back in WWII – more uptight ‘decency standards’ at the time, perhaps?). I love that Luke’s lightsaber is plugged into that power pack on his back, that was a neat little touch … sure hope he can unplug it to use it, though!

I think that the translation of Star Wars into other eras and/or cultural influences (i.e. 1942, samurai, etc.) speaks to the archetypal strength of the characters and mythic basis of the story.
