May the 4th (aka Star Wars Day) is officially upon us!!! But, of course, if you're a big fan of Star Wars like me, then every day is a Star Wars day.

To celebrate this year, I decided to do something I've always been a little curious about: What would the films look like if they were animated movies made by Disney in the '90s (which I guess is full circle since Disney owns Star Wars now)? So, I asked AI to show me what the characters from the original trilogy would look like as classic '90s Disney animation. Below are the results:
