The Secret Lives Of Star Wars Villains

Have you ever wondered what the Star Wars characters get up to after the Director shouts ‘THAT’S A WRAP EVERYONE!’ on set?

Photographer and fine artist David Gilliver has given us a rare glimpse into the secret lives of Star Wars villains revealing all kinds of secrets, like how Vader actually has a baby AT-AT at home who is not yet house-trained!

David obtained his Honours Degree in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art where he studied from 1997-2001. His final degree-show featured lots of photographs of toys which has been a recurring theme throughout his photographic work for many years now.

“I first photographed Star Wars figures during my degree at the Glasgow School of Art. I got told off by my tutors, probably because they felt the work was silly and devoid of any real meaning. And so I have felt for many years like I have had some unfinished business with the Star Wars toys, making this self-imposed photography project rather cathartic.”

We asked David just how big a fan he was of Star Wars. His answer? “Bigger than Jabba’s belly!”
