We like our Steampunk gadgets here at Gizmodo and one of the model maestros, Sillof, has turned his hand to reinventing the Star Wars cast, with some interesting takes.

Purists will no doubt be drawing on the power of The Force for emotional equilibrium but you can’t argue that the guy has some skill. Steampunk tends to meld Victorian looks and antiquated technologies like valves, gears and clunky bits to create something both new and old in the same go.

Check out the very cool – and fully functional - Steampunk PC and an even weirder Steampunklaptop.

Here we get the key Stars Wars cast looking all old-new in one go. Sillof should get credit alone for making wimpy protocol droid, C-3PO, look dangerous.

I really like his take on Lord Vader although I’m pretty sure if you tried to put him in those thigh-high boots, you’d quickly find yourself floating a few feet off the ground wondering where the air’s gone.

Watch Darth doing a twirl for the cameras below and see the rest of the re-imagined cast here.-Martin Lynch
