Longer ago, in a galaxy even further away…
You may THINK you know Star Wars inside and out, but this is the version you were NEVER meant to see! Meet Annikin Starkiller, son of Jedi Bendu warrior Kane Starkiller and sworn protector of Princess Leia of Aquilae. In his mission to protect Leia and become the “Lord Protector of Aquilae,” Annikin is joined by his mentor, Luke Skywalker and pilot Han Solo, a tall reptilian alien known for hunting Wookies on their home planet of Yavin.
Writer J. W. Rinzler and artist Mike Mayhew adapt George Lucas’ rough draft screenplay for “Star Wars: A New Hope.” It’s a fascinating look at the creative process behind one of the biggest film series of all time!
Joining our two comics aficionados for this special “May the Fourth” episode is Joe Turk, Cale’s long time friend and MASSIVE Star Wars fan and collector. Joe geeks out with us about one of our favourite fictional universes and shares his (controversial?) take on Ewoks and what Star Wars means to him.
We will return in two weeks to discuss “Truth: Red, White and Black,” a Marvel comic that looks at the secret history of Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum and asks difficult questions about the role of black Americans in World War II (in the Marvel Universe AND the real world). This book also ties into “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” on Disney+. We will be joined by long-time comics fan and world-renowned cosplayer Chris Carthern.
