..alla-kazam, no more Alderann!
Or words to that effect. Who needs speeches?
Han Solo loses all of his great lines in these pages:
"...no substitute for a good blaster by your side kid..."
"I've seen a lot of straaange things..." etc. All we get is
"Hocus pocus"
A pity. Though Harrison Ford might have preferred it that way in 1975. He complained to Lucas:
"You can type this stuff - but you can't SAY it".
Ford's long line "I've seen a lot of strange things..." was one of the hardest for him to nail. Happily - he did.
Nah, don't need that - or that...
So, lots of important Jedi theology is dumped; that whole boring coming out of hyperspace into "some kind of asteroid collision" bit is dropped too! How could I ditch a meteor shower? Sorry George, wee John knows best. "NAARG!"
BONUS: This is hilarious: Richard Dawkins reads his hate mail.
Why not follow the comic on facebook!

Digging the photo too - as a rationalist I love Dawkins, Hitchens too for that matter. I'm the one who fills all the religious shelves in Barnes and Noble with copies of 'god is not Great' - it's my only joy in life :)
Perhaps with the exception of Han in the upper right corner, I've seen published mainstreem comics drawn that look less like what they were trying to portray.
You obviously showed some talent at an early age.
I have to say though, I've been reading some 2000ad comics recently and a lot of the stuff they did in the '70s was appallingly amateur. I'm really shocked.
