I’m not sure what San Francisco did to bring upon the mighty fist of the Imperial forces on itself, but whatever it was, stop. Did San Francisco forget about a little place called “Alderaan”?

Indie filmaker and sci-fi fan, Mike Horn created a series of stunning photographs (part of his “Star Wars West Coast Defense” collection) of what San Francisco may look like if it was occupied by the Imperial army. San Francisco landmarks such as the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge is featured with Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, AT-ATs, and even the Death Star. Mike Horn was also the creator of popular “Death Star Over San Francisco” and “Death Star Destroys the USS Enterprise” fan videos. Hit the jump to see more of his brilliant photographs and videos!
