Fandom Taken Too Far


There’s some strange stuff online. Witness: Red and Jonny, a married couple who’ve posted to Flickr hundreds of photos of themselves in Star Wars stormtrooper helmets. On a picnic, shopping for groceries, even at the dentist. Then, for comparison purposes, check out this painting of the Star Wars cast as a rock band. I find this kind of mundane crossover fandom—imagining science-fictional characters in quotidian scenes—fascinating.
