Star Wars

Recommended Posts

I want to read the Dark Horse series called "The Star Wars" which is a comic book adaption of the original Star Wars script.

The Description from the Dark Horse webpage:

 

"Annikin Starkiller is the hero . . . Luke Skywalker is a wizened Jedi general . . . Han Solo is a big green alien . . . and the Sith . . . Well, the Sith are still the bad guys. High adventure and derring-do from longer ago, in a galaxy even further away!"

I really hope that Episode VII is at least a return to formula of the original trilogy. No boring Jedi please. We need a rag tag team who get together despite their differences to over come impossible odds, not a political debate between cardboard characters who can't love and villains whose only purpose of being evil is to be the bad guy complete with slow walking through computer animated sets.

All I remember about Star Wars in the 90's is when my family won free tickets to the "remastered" A New Hope in theaters through the Pepsi promotional contest. My father, being uber Type A cleanly as he is, threw them away because they were bottle caps with a code to redeem the tickets.

 

That, and when Pepsi also did the character profiles for Phantom Menace on their 12 oz. cans, which at the time I thought was cool. I was also 12 and a huge nerd (only difference now is that I'm 25).

Man, do I hate the corporate BS VPs and PR people pump into the void.  Blah, blah, blah, and nothing is said.

2015 the comics move to Marvel.  DH did a great job with the comic series.  Marvel, you have a lot to live up to.

Loads of Prequels concept art:

Grievous certainly went through a lot of body designs, but seems his face was nailed the first time. Also minor warning: naked Jar Jar.

 

 

Certainly seems to be a lot of this stuff coming out of the works (almost like some carefully orchestrated marketing endeavour leading up to a new trilogy of films), but I don't mind.

Lightsabers would be dangerous anyway, Ethan, since there's no weight to the blade to give the user feedback as to its position. That's one of the in-universe reasons why folks who can't use the Force don't use them; it takes a sixth sense to wield a lightsaber and, improtantly, train with a lightsaber effectively. 

 

The cross-guards just look super dumb, though.
