[MOC] Dark Side, Light side, only a matter of point of view

[Veynom]

Here is a small reversible vignette made for a contest on BrickPirate. The concept is simple: DO a vignette and make its mirrored counterpart (a bit like Stranger Things). I have selected Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader in a very classical way.

A few highlights:

• Anakin becomes Darth Vader, that's the obvious central point;
• Clones become Stormtroopers, still a natural evolution.
• Trade Federation droids become rebels ... this is a daring evolution.
• Blue lasers become red, and vice-versa
• The light side is chasing droids in an evil environment but the dark side is hunting down rebels in a bright and white environment.

In the end, which side will you go for ?

Very clever and really well done! I love how the moral ambiguity has been developed over the years and what a great way to highlight it. You could assume the Rebels were goodness personified but from a certain point of view they were really terrorists and the Jedi and New Republic army were being manipulated into fighting by the Sith. The more I think about it the more I like your MOC!

Great concept and very well executed!

I like how you transposed the idea of the upside-down set into a nice star wars build. Good work! The Vader scene from RO is one of my favourites.
