Star Wars fan David Gilliver has been creating the funny scenes since his time studying Fine Art Photography at the Glasgow School of Art.

The 36-year-old, who was born and raised in Glasgow, said: "I got told off by my tutors, probably because they felt the work was silly and devoid of any real meaning.

"I have felt for many years like I have some unfinished business with the Star Wars toys, and so I have found this self-imposed photography project rather cathartic - which is nice.

"I think I just have a rather odd sense of humour.

"Plus I have always found toys rather fascinating and so it was just a matter of time before I created this series of photographs I think.

"Hopefully a lot of other people out there will also find the scenarios amusing.

"Each scene varies, but I will typically take up to an hour to get the shot I want.

"If I’m shooting outside, it can take a little longer sometimes."
