Artist Dan Hipp just blew my mind with his latest Star Wars illustration. It’s called “Some Damn Fool Idealistic Crusade.” That title is taken from a quote from Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope when he says to Luke:
“I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.”
The art lays out the differences of who Darth Vader was and who Kylo Ren is and it answers the question raised by Obi-Wan, “Who’s more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?”
This is a powerful piece of art that hit me in the gut. I had never thought of it this way before.
