9/10/2023 0 Comments Yep storage wars![]() I really would sincerely be grateful for some official info - in something that is not like one throwaway line in a novelization that some poor author had to put in there to make something else in the canon make sense or whatever - on what, when, and how Force ghosts can show up in the living realm, because right now I am left to conclude that Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Yoda - even though they have all more or less ascended to Force Superheaven, and Anakin is the Force’s actual CHILD and is supposed to be this crazy-powerful being who has Returned to the Light, etc - are all enormous assholes. I am sure Vader’s been presenting a PowerPoint about him to a bunch of uninterested Imperials in a conference room somewhere this whole time). It had been possibly whole HOURS since Vader or Luke had mentioned Obi-Wan (just kidding. No, he’s about to be eaten by a horrible monster, and he’s calling out for Obi-Wan to come help him somehow.īIG FREAKING SURPRISE. Recurring Theme: Obi-Wan Isn’t Feeling Up To Helping You Now, I GuessĪnd how IS Luke faring, you ask? Why, Luke’s doing just fi– oh. Following the trail of drama DOES seem like a likely way to find a Skywalker, I’ll give her that. Leia gestures at some TIE fighters up above causing a commotion, and suggests that following them will most likely lead them there. So now everyone’s here on the Smuggler’s Moon, but now they have to figure where Luke precisely is. ![]() The last time he pulled a disappearing act on everybody and fucked off to Space Ireland it was a whole big production to get him back and he got top billing in the opening crawl and everything. I feel like we can’t discount that as a possibility. Are we sure he’s not just doing it for the attention? He is Anakin’s son and all. I feel like this might be slowing the Rebellion (and, later, the Resistance for that matter) down somewhat, having their Wizard Superhero be constantly missing and/or in need of being rescued. Han of course is immediately all AReally, an unreasonable amount of Star Wars involves everyone being like “where’s Luke? WE NEED TO FIND HIM!!” and it’s really been the cause of a lot of unnecessary dramatics and life-threatening situations. I appreciate that Han and Leia just landed like 12 seconds ago and there is already a giant fireball involved and someone is already gravely injured, at a minimum. …Dengar presumably falls to his death in a pit of flames, but then again, we all know people around here have survived worse, so who knows. Dengar spits back that he’s got a thermal detonator, and if Han tries anything funny he’ll have them ALL go up in flames! Just then, Chewie manages to get back on his feet and puts an end to this standoff: Recurring Theme: We Just Showed Up and Stuff’s Exploding AlreadyĪs our story opens, Han’s got a blaster pulled on Dengar and is all HOW DARE YOU THREATEN MY WOOKIEE FRIEND/PRIMARY CAREGIVER/LEGAL GUARDIAN. In the meantime, Han and Leia (accompanied by Sana Starros, who’s still claiming to be Han’s wife) have mostly just pretended they don’t want to rip each other’s clothes off for what feels like eternity, and are en route to Nar Shaddaa to collect Luke, and to come to the aid of Chewbacca and C-3PO, who were trying to save Luke themselves, but have now been getting their butts kicked by a bounty hunter named Dengar. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t want to get too far ahead of things here, but I will note that Luke does not perform quite to the level of his dad or mom or Obi-Wan in this situation, though I do find it hilarious that this insane scenario happened to ALL FOUR OF THEM. In the lead-up to today’s comic, Luke - who, BIG GODDAMN SURPRISE, has been off by himself on a Jedi Knowledge Quest AGAIN, STILL - has found himself taken prisoner by an enormous hutt, who is forcing him to fight a giant monster in an arena while a bunch of people gawk and cheer. As far as I can tell, no moment of Luke’s life has been normal since that day he went to Obi-Wan’s house for a chat. Say, reader: were you at all concerned that maybe in between movies, the Original Trilogy Gang did not encounter anything out of the ordinary? Have you lost sleep worrying that Luke Skywalker, for example, may have just gone about his business and had Normal Times every so often, when he wasn’t training in a swamp with a Muppet or getting some really bad news back from his 23andMe DNA test? Well, allow me to put your fears to rest, because if the Star Wars comics are anything to go by, we can all breathe a sigh of relief on that front. ![]()
