The new Grimes album arrives later this year, as does The Force Awakens. Here’s her love letter to the saga.
“My name is Grimes and I first came to love Star Wars before I could even walk. It’s one of my dad’s favourite film series and we had all the box sets and remastered versions when I was growing up. He made us watch all the making-of documentaries and flagged up the technological innovations, such as they way they smeared peanut butter on lenses to make the cars look like they were floating. We even had super-detailed books about how to draw all the machinery and stuff, which was a huge influence on me as an illustrator.”
