Australian artist Nick Barclay has a knack for creating minimalist portraits of cities, cocktails, and even movies. His latest project is a bit more narrow in scope — namely, characters from the original Star Wars trilogy, as told in three colors. The end result is an impressive abstract breakdown of a dozen iconic key figures in science fiction film — and a pretty clear example of how even specific shades of blue can recall vivid moments.

Just in case you can't see it, we went ahead and took a few key Star Wars moments and placed them alongside their respective designs.
