OSAKA, JAPAN - I, for one, am a huge fan of both sushi and Star Wars, but could I really take a bite out of BB-8 or his predecessor R2-D2?

In the wake of the revived Star Wars sensation, one sushi chef is bringing a shining light to veggies with an artistic skillset—Okitsugu Kado is sculpting Star Wars characters out of anything from carrots, to cucumbers, to potatoes.

Because who wouldn’t want the veggie platter of any kids party, or kids at heart, to be crafted out of a Master Yoda spud battling some cucumber stormtroopers and Darth Vader?

Kado is a committed fan, according to source Nerdist, who reported that the chef is part of a “Star Wars” community that meets weekly, for whom he started sculpting the figures. The craft falls under traditional Japanese art mukimono, or decorative food garnishing.

While the Star Wars theme was definitely the attention grabber at a recent comic book convention, that is not the only area in which he commits his veggie craft. One of his more recent blog posts says, “I made dragon with a lot of carrots,” which apparently became the healthy garnish to a large sushi cake.

How’s that for making vegetables cool? To see more of Kado's produce-focused talent, visit his blog here.
