More Star Wars, we say! More!
With a (mostly) worldwide release of Rogue One: a Star Wars story in the books, many fans have already braved the lines, the cold, or both to see it. If you haven’t had the chance to see the movie yet, there are still plenty of ways for you to get your Star Wars fix including this artistic Twitter user @nohofrog who has been giving the galaxy far, far away an anime makeover.

Nohofrog isn’t content to just draw Star Wars characters though, they also let their canvas run a little wild and imagine what would happen if Star Wars characters had Pokémon companions.
▼ Poe seems to have an affinity for orange robots and Pokémon like Dedenne.
