Jeff Carter is continuing his depiction of sci-fi and comic book characters in poses and frameworks of religious iconography. Here’s his latest, which he calls “The Praying Jewbacca” since it is based on Marc Chagall’s painting “The Praying Jew.”
It is good to see that he is expanding to include other religious traditions, since the images thus far have for the most part drawn from Christianity (see for instance “Hulk Want In,” based on the traditional depiction of Jesus standing at the door and knocking).
The picture reminds me of the story “On Venus, Have We Got A Rabbi!” by William Tenn. And I was surprised to discover that this is not the first depiction of Chewbacca as Jewish – I have found at least three!
