This is not a proper comic, and I know it. Tonite Im doing tomorrow's comic. But then why you do get this filler? Quite simple: Today is May 19th, a date that every Star Wars geek has hard burned in his brain. The SW Ep 3 opening date.

For many of us out there, SW means something that did come out from childhood, we did grow playing han solo and luke skywalker, drawing the milenium falcon over and over with weeeeird crossovers with some of the cartoons of my childhood.

Maybe its a lot of marketing, but its the marketing that we did grow with. And it draws a smile in many of our faces when we do hear "May the force be with you". I still get shivers when I listen "Duel of Fates", that in my opinion is the best thing of the prequels. It did born in the 77, when SW did open. So in a nutshell, in all my life SW has been present, in one way or the other. But always for good (except when the bastards play the movie in open tv and you expend watching a batch of commercial over another, to make the movie last from 7pm 'til 11pm). And somehow I got mixed feelings, I feel like this. Well done O.

This is like the birthdate of one of your friends, I most of the time I draw something for people who do appreciate the doodles I do. But today, (of course Mr. George Lucas will never see this drawing) I just want to place this small tribute to something that has been present on my whole life.

Im not a hardcore fan, I didnt watch the movie today at midnight. I will wait for the weekend to watch it. Why? I got my reasons, but the most important of all is because I just want to see it with friends and people that I care for.

Its just a movie, I know, but there's always thins that make you corny and squishy in the inside. How many songs make you smile or cry, and how many movies do the same with you?

Hell... if I ever got children, I will let them watch the Lord of the rings and Star Wars instead of stupid and useless crap (in my opinion):


Reasons Why Star Wars Is Better Than Titanic

1. Titanic's big, but it doesn't have hyperdrive.


2. Star Wars has WAY cooler action figure potential. (Still rose can be a nice inflatable doll)


3. Yoda could use the Force to lift the Titanic out of the water.


4. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.


5. Ewoks throw better parties than either first class or steerage.


6. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can't say "Look at the size of that thing!" and really mean it.


7. It would be much scarier to get chased around the boat by a raving madman with a lightsaber as opposed to a handgun.


8. Titanic is egalitarian by portraying poor people as sympathetic characters. Star Wars is egalitarian by promoting bug-eyed amphibians to Admiral.


9. Said bug-eyed amphibious Admiral manages NOT to lose his ship.


10. We know Cal is the bad guy because he sneers at the poor and treats his fiancee like property. We know Darth Vader is the bad guy because he strangles people and blows up planets for fun.


11. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?


12. People have not lost their lives trying to recreate scenes from Star Wars on the bow of a cruise liner.


13. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hutt.


14. Two words: John Williams.


15. There are always enough escape pods in Star Wars.


16. Do you know what the Empire does to self-proclaimed "kings of the world"?


17. If Luke were handcuffed to a pipe below decks in a sinking ship, he would use the Force to get the key.


18. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" just doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookiee."


19. Han is frozen in carbonite and turned into a wall ornament. Leo simply freezes.

And the most important of all. If you let a kid watch titanic (s)he will get boooored as hell, but if you let him or her watch Star Wars, he will keep an open mind for knowledge and wishdom.

Another hail to the guy who did write such list ^^

May the force be with you guys, and for Mort Ducker sake: DONT TELL ME ABOUT THE MOVIE AFTER THE MONDAY!!!

See you tomorro...

Peace in the world
