Art of the Day #398: The Rise of WildeHopper

We open with some images of Judy Hopps as Princess Leia.

Here, Judy is channeling not only Princess Leia, but also Carrie Fisher.  (This was pretty much Carrie F’s reaction to having to wear that slave-girl outfit.)

And, of course, if you’re going to have Judy as Leia, then you’ve also got to have Nick as Han Solo.

…tho’ I’m not sure he wannnnts it.

And now some pics featuring the Nick and Judy together as Han and Leia.
As many folks have noted, there are quite the number of similarities between the two relationships.

Aw, quit being such a grumpy-bear, Baloo.

A couple of takes on THE iconic Han and Leia moment.

I Know Carrots by NovaAndHerMoondust Source [10]

Nope, this isn’t Han and Leia again.  This time it’s Nick and Judy in the roles of Padme and Anakin Skywalker; the heart-wrenching moment from Episode III when he turned on her.

Mustafar’s Farewell by NovaAndHerMoondust Source [11]

This one’s a little bit of a mashup.  Nick as Han again, with Judy as Ahsoka Tano (from the animated Clone Wars series.)

Here’s one of Judy as a an Imperial Stormtrooper

Okay, we’ve seen Judy as a slave-girl and we’ve seen her as a Jedi, so why not both at once?

Next up, some images featuring a few of the Zootopia gang in Sith Lord mode.

“No, Jude-the-Dude; I am your father.
Come to the Dark Side,  We have carrot-cake.”

Here’s Little Nick as a Sith.
“Muzzle ME, will you?”

Darth Wilde by SciMunk Source [19]

But of course, the obvious Zootopia character to play a Sith Lord is…

Now let’s move on to the current Star Wars trilogy-arc

This is one of the very earliest pieces of Nick and Judy fan-art, predating the release of Zootopia by more than two months. (Note the reference to Bolt in the lower-right corner.)

A slightly different take on the same subject.

And finally…it would be completely remiss of us to post a Zootopia X Star Wars crossover collection without remembering this little gem from Byron Howard.

Until next time…may The Fox be with you.
