Look, I'm a Star Wars fan from kindergarten on up, but I find this to be rather idiotic. Those paintings weren't nearly so bad that they had to be sacrificed to such pop culture nonsense. Eventually, they'll end back up at thrift stores (or dumpsters) a lot less more desirable than the child-mind fanboys who get to geek out a little at how 'cool' this is right now. Call it what you like, but turning original art, any art, into such a gimmick is not 'creating' anything new. You're simply vandalizing it.
