This was a genius opening to the saga. I’m just rereading BMS.
This strip works on so many levels and I love the mix of past/present, reverence/irreverance! Could this stand along with the opening sequence of SW itself – or even *gasp* 2001?
Thanks John, though it’s just a parody of the dramatic openings which Star Wars in turn was paying tribute to. I just like the fact that this was where the idea for the two Georges originated and that it has come so far since.
Okay, so I am officially hooked on BMS and so if I may begin at the beginning I will read through SW (IV — the only “real” SW, ecept for maybe V, which had zero Jar Jar’s and less ewoks) while I impatiently await new ESB updates. This will help me find out when Leah started smoking (which never gets old). It is good to see that pops is drinking from Federation mug. Very “Starbucks” (oh poo, that was not meant to be Battlestar Galactica reference).
Hey! I just thought I’d let you guys know that I’m a long-time viewer who really ought to comment and praise your brilliance, and I’ve done a quick review of BMS on my blog. You guys are awesome, and I’m so stoked to see how the rest of TESB plays out. 😀
Wow! Thank you! We’re honored to have any review, especially such a positive one! Looks like you’ve got some interesting fantasy novels to your name. I’m sure some of our readers might like to learn more. I’d be happy to give your page a plug in our thank you on Friday. Keep writing!
