    Looks like something by Dali, but I'm not sure.

    If it's Dali it is Surrealism I think. Thats the closest I can get, have never seen it before.

    That would be "The Voice of Space," by Rene Magritte.

    She's a surrealist painter from the early 1930s. You probably know "The Son of Man," the piece with the man in a suit with a green apple over his face.

    WTH? Star Wars?

    Are you saying that this was done before the original Star Wars movies?

    Yeah, but the original didn't have any starwars bits in.
