A reminder to all you retcon-resenting star warfare enthusiasts out there
that George Lucas never got around to removing Sebastian Shaw from the 1997 comic book Star Wars: The Last Command issue 1
in which Princess Leia gives birth and looks like this.
Although on that note if I were force-sensitive I would be wary about doing anything near a window, knowing that a giant creepy judgmental ghost Yoda could be watching me at any time and that I would never be able to stop it or prove to anybody else that it happened. Hey, Yoda, Ben is a family friend but none of the people in there even KNOW you.
In fact I have been generally concerned about Yoda’s mental state recently.
All good? Great, I trust you.
Beside the point but I take issue with this comic book for exaggerating Mark Hamill’s acting skills
although I praise the depiction of his elegant fingers.

Ugh, that is bordering to be some kind of fetish fancomics.

ÃHey, just noticed you still have the old Deviantart logo on the top of the page.
grimpinreep sez:
Ha I had not thought of that. I suppose there is a bit of a fan-fictiony effect from making two established popular characters suddenly have a baby together, even if George Lucas had already “shipped” them.
I do not “still” have the old devuiantart logo; I made that new after the logo was changed since I liked the old one better!

I had no clue you were nerdy enough to actually go into Star Wars comic books. This one is clearly odd. Are any of them “good” ?
Did you also play all the Star Wars video games?

My brother Eep works in construction and often homeowners are throwing stuff out, and he recently ended up with a bunch of seemingly random comic books on some such occasion. Two of them were Star Wars related, but not in the same series with each other. Neither of them is very coherent. I don’t know if it is because, at least this one, is part of an adaptation of a novel, or just because the contemporary American comic book style is something which does not appeal to me at all. Too much narration and skipping ahead, not enough actual story shown. And when there is action there will be one large illustration and bunch of tiny illustration fragments and intense faces, with dialog dumped all over the place, so that it is impossible to actually follow as if it is really happening.
I have played Dark Forces in DOS, and also Tie Fighter but I was terrible at that. Dark Forces I like, though. I never knew there was a sequel until after the point where I had much time to figure it out. I have also recently emulated the two different NES Star Wars games, but I have far more and non-emulated experience with the Super Nintendo ones, which I actually played and liked aspects of before I ever saw the films.

The doctor looks like he just got done with a play by play briefing of the birth and is ready to tackle the newborn in a ball game. He should really not be there today.

Especially on Mothers’ Day, the Princess deserves better!
Purplespace sez:
Shouldn’t Princess Leia be a queen now since her planet on which she was ostensibly a princess blew up and presumably the old queen along with it? Or should she not be either since she no longer has a planet to rule over?
Frimpinheap sez:
I imagined Leia was an emeritus princess, or perhaps “princess” was merely part of her name.
