I think I’m going to try something new with all “Star Wars” movies from here on out. I’m going to try to treat them as “what ifs”. The original trilogy really shouldn’t be touched or added to in any way. That story was complete. The whiny farm boy became a hero. The selfish smuggler only out for himself became a general in the fight for freedom. The princess that lost everything learned of a family she never knew. The villain consumed by his hate finally overcame it and in his last act overthrew the man controlling him. With no leadership the empire probably fell eventually, and the galaxy returned to relative peace and freedom.

The details of how things came to be were stories best left to your imagination. Something REALLY bad happened to “Anakin Skywalker” and “Obi-Wan” his mentor was involved. He was corrupted by the “Emperor” who took over what was “The Old Republic” which turned it into the fascist “Empire”. Something called “The Clone Wars” happened which sounds awesome. What did we learn about any of this from the prequels that didn’t just make all this worse?

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesdays-Thursdays.  Oh and with the special holday comic there’s pretty no way I can get it done by or before Christmas. So I’m shooting for New Years maybe. Happy holidays to you and yours. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

George Lucas had it right from the very beginning. You had to start with “Episode IV”. The original trilogy is the story that mattered. Because “Star Wars” is about the hero’s journey of “Luke Skywalker” and maybe even moreso the redemption of “Han Solo”.  When you really think about it “Han” is the real hero of these movies. “Luke” joins the rebels because the plot gives him no other choice. His aunt and Uncle are dead and his home it burnt to a crisp (and as I mentioned before I think “Obi-Wan” knew that was going to happen and saw that as the only way he could start training “Luke”. Which is all kinds of messed-up). So he goes with the old man who at least seems to know his dad.

“Han” on the other hand not only really chooses to be a hero, but does so at great risk due to the bounty on his head. Sure you can chalk some of that up to him really wanting to bang “Leia” but still. He also saves the main competitor for her affection more than once again at great risk to himself.  He also does this with no powers, no teachers, and no personal stakes in the fight. He also pays the price for it by being tortured and frozen for several years.  That’s a good dude…

Tomorrow still more with these guy as the talk about “Space Saga Side Story: Rebel Girl & Her Crew”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I actually feel kinda bad about the dig at George Lucas at the end of this one, but I do find it funny that I keep seeing these reports about him really liking “Rogue One”. Isn’t this the same person everyone says ruined everything with the prequels? As I write this the reviews are pretty good though, and it’s got 85% on “Rotten Tomatoes”. Again I say, “we’ll see”…

On another note, it’s that time of year when I suddenly realize “oh crap it’s nearly Christmas you idiot if you wanna do a holiday’s themed comic you gotta start NOW”!  Anyways, I wrote something for it and even by the standards of these comics it’s pretty nuts. I have NO idea how I’m going to get it done as I think it’s gonna be 3 pages.  So the next “History Of Comics With Q-boy” will be postponed for a while. Also if it all goes as planned it will feature a special guest… And I’ll leave you cryptically with that.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I was a actually a whole day ahead of schedule until I got to this comic. For this one I wrote too much material and had to fight to squeeze what I could in. There’s a lot to be said about the economy and jobs and the minimum wage, but I’ll leave that for another day.

Ever met someone who didn’t see some movie or TV show , and you’re just like “how”?  Like it’s a movie or show that seems to ALWAYS be on somewhere or more importantly it’s a classic that everyone’s seen. Ever been that person that somehow didn’t see the movie or show EVERYONE has seen? I’ve certainly been both.

It’s always interesting what different people see as “must see” or “classic”. Personally, being able to get “Simpsons” references is like a test of character. Speaking of which, we’re at the sad time of the year when the big yearly “Simpsons” marathon on “FXX” has reached the point where it’s past the 2nd episode of season 12 (the last good episode IMHO). Oh well it was a nice few days of laughs…
