Star Wars arguably became a benchmark for toys and a sizeable portion of toy photography involves characters from that franchise. So, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone asked me to dip my lenses into that paddle pool.
Like most people of my generation, and many thereafter, I much preferred the original movies and their practical effects to the over-saturated artifice of the prequels and the woke identity politics of the more recent trilogy.
A fully articulated Darth Vader, and much stiffer Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker, were posted out to me to have a play. I also found a small TIE fighter in a local supermarket so that became a useful prop for adding to backgrounds. Unlike The Terminator project, masked characters are a lot easier to create illusions of reality, although clearly these images are bordering on poster art.
Space and Death Star backgrounds were composited in, as were the light sabre beams. Kylo Ren's light sabre was constructed from a AAA battery wrapped in black electrical tape and some black straw for the side beams. Some BTS pics further down.
