Art Notes
Bloody thick line-work! Someone got a new black marker obviously.
This looks like it was done in 1982 or so. The action and drawing is definitely more advanced. Though for our purposes, it fails: not in the least bit funny. Or is it..? Those of an English persuasion - like me - might find some amusement...
The middle right panel, I quite like. "FORP!" But... that's ripped-off form Chaykin's work on the Marvel adaptation. The remote really seems to bounce off Luke's tensed lightsaber.
The Lavatorial Bit
"AGGHH!!!"
"Ben Kenobi (Luke knocks respectfully on door) No joy yet? Shall I run the tap for you?"
Film Notes
Ok, so all the useless ones eventually chop off the heads of the good ones therefore ensuring the survival of the... dumbest. Right, so how is that supposed to work exactly?
I am absolutely with Harry Plinkett when he mentions how stupid and unoriginal this is. Once again, something from the original and best SW film is reused. But this time in the best Prequel Trilogy tradition, it's completely overdone: over-used. More is more - right? Wrong.
This shot above is from one of the PT films. (Don't ask me which - I've seen them with my son more times than I can count and it's still all just an unintelligible blur)
The remotes even look like the one on Solo's ship! George said he wanted all the movies to "rhyme, like poetry". Fair enough, good idea. But he even has all the Jedi wearing peasanty-farmer clothing from Tatooine. Is Tatooine the centre of the universe or something? Not according to Luke.
SWa9 is on Facebook too!

Ben looks like uncle Jessie from Dukes of Hazzard.
Well, I've just been listening to Mr.Bungle's "My Ass is on Fire"
Must stop using strange computers.
