A New Hope – A chronological parody of the Star Wars 1977 film that started it all. BMS kicked off with A New Hope in February, 2009 and it ran for over a year, sometimes three times per week. Our style was slowly developing and improving. Like Lucas, we have on occasion gone back and made tweaks or added a new scene.
Part 1 – Princess Leia is captured, the droids are sold
Part 2 – Luke meets Obi-Wan and Tarkin entertains two ladies
Lady Tarkin’s visit (Imperial interlude)
Part 3 – Mos Eisley Space Port
Part 4 – The Millennium Falcon
Part 5 – Rescue the Princess
Part 6 – The Rebel Briefing on Yavin IV
Part 7 – The Battle of Yavin / Trench Run

A New Hope: Aftermath – a short series of strips dealing with the immediate ramifications for several characters directly affected by the events of the first movie.

Little Alderaan – A BMS canon Rebel base we named Little Alderaan after taking a liking to the asteroid base seen in The Boba Fett Adventure from the Star Wars Holiday Special. This was a chance to play with the characters a little before Empire Strikes Back and see them really getting to know one another.

The Boba Fett Adventure – A scene by scene parody of the animated short that first introduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars universe.

The Holiday Special – We managed to parody most scenes from the already awful Holiday Special.

Greedo’s Cousins – the idea that Greedo is from a clan of Rodian bounty hunters permeates the Expanded Universe material so we ran with that idea and developed something out of it with this little storyarc.

Splinter of the Mind’s Eye – A little known Star Wars novelization that counts as the first EU book. It is frowned upon for pursuing a romantic relationship between Luke and Leia, but it was written prior to Empire Strikes Back. A lot of fun to play with and expose to people who were unfamiliar with its curious contents.
