Painter Robert Xavier Burden creates still lifes using some of the stillest subjects he can: action figures. Whether the subject matter is Battlecat from Masters of the Universe, Hulk Hogan, Voltron, or Slimer from Ghostbusters , he faithfully paints murals befitting a church window as much as a toy store.

His latest project is one of his most ambitious, paying tribute to the franchise that helped popularize the toy tie-in. He's created a mural dedicated to those three-inch Star Wars figures Kenner released in the 1970s and 1980s—iconic, low-articulation figures ready to excite the nostalgist in all of us. There are even a few guest stars, like Darth Maul and Padme Amidala from the later movies. Oh, and Flash Gordon and Indiana Jones, too, for whatever reason.

This isn't his first Star Wars based work. He previously painted Han Solo on a Tauntaun, Boba Fett, and a Stormtrooper.
