STAR WARS Fan Transforms Ukrainian Statue of Lenin into Darth Vader
Statues with ties to communism are being taken down all across the Ukraine, but artist Alexander Milov had a better idea: what if, instead of tearing down a statue of communist leader Vladimir Lenin, he transformed it into a likeness of iconic Star Wars villain Darth Vader? His request was approved and he made it happen, also turning the statue into a Wi-Fi hotspot for good measure. Going from Lenin to a guy who destroyed an entire planet (RIP, Alderaan) seems like a lateral move, but at least the statue looks cool.
