Dubai Landmarks Given Star Wars Spin In Celebration Of The Release Star Was: The Last Jedi

Two of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks –  the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab – have been given a Star Wars spin by Instagram artist Paperboyo (Rich McCor), who travelled to Dubai from London to create Star Wars architectural artwork, in celebration of the release of Star Was: The Last Jedi.

Rich’s unique work – in which he turns ordinary landscape photographs into clever artwork with a simple paper cut-out technique – has earned him a large following across the world (326,000 at the time of writing) within just two years.

In his artworks shot in Dubai, Rich created paper cut out’s of Star Wars: The Last Jedi main character Rey, and much-loved droid BB-8, and positioned them against shots of the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab to create the illusion (respectively) of Rey holding the Burj Khalifa as a lightsaber and walking with BB-8 along the beach by Burj Al Arab.
