Here’s a Star Wars spoiler (spoiler: It’s not a real spoiler!): In a Photoshop Battle far, far away, there was a father-son duo that built an X-wing out of cardboard, and—in a surprise twist—it was… super cute.

After redditor russkahle helped his son assemble a starfighter, his friend and fellow redditor technobass knew it was too adorable not to share with the Internet:

So, with the father’s blessing, technobass shared an image of the boy pilot in his starfighter with the Photoshop Battles community.

“I gave my friend [Reddit user technobass] permission to post,” russkahle shares in a comment, “but never thought it would blow up like this.”

If you’re not familiar with Photoshop Battles, here’s how they work: A random photo is presented. Anybody in the community can participate. All you need to do is edit the image as you please and submit your work in the comments section.

Looking at the original photo that began the battle, it’s obvious that russkhale’s son probably wished he could fly with Poe Dameron’s fleet.

So Reddit users used their intergalactic imagination to cast the boy in his very own episode in the Star Wars franchise.

Redditor spread_panic spread joy by setting other cardboard crafts adrift in space, so that the pint-sized pilot wouldn’t feel out of place:

But despite their best efforts, one user felt spread_panic made an unforgivable mistake with the title:

Luckily, user Argalad came to the rescue with this epic post-explosion flight:

Risky move for a ship made of flammable materials…

Redditor honor_thy_symbionts didn’t want to restrict the youthful Star Wars fan to aerial scenes, so he put him behind the controls of a massive AT-AT:

Let’s hope he knows how to park that thing.

Of course, not all redditors wanted to cast the boy as the hero of this Star Wars spin-off. User gsmaciel thought he was better suited for the role of Emperor Palpatine:

But redditor _korbendallas_ had a secret superweapon, laboriously developed for the sole purpose of destroying entire Photoshop Battles in a single strike.

Behold… the gif!

When one redditor expressed disappointment that the young pilot would never see the results of the Battle, the boy’s father made a solemn promise to the community:
