sorry, but that is most defiantly not banksy. first of all the humor is ham-fisted, plus look around the storm troopers. it’s discolored, indicating that this was a paste job -not stencil.
Not Banksy, it’s absolutely Brainwash’s style and he has used the star wars figures in some of his other work. Bansky did some of the other stuff around town like the infamous Mickey Mouse billboard on Sunset.
