What is blue milk?
Remember when Luke Skywalker is having dinner with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru? There’s a jug of blue liquid on the table. This blue liquid has since become known as “blue milk”. There’s also a production still of Aunt Beru holding some, see the photo on the left. Blue milk is one of those obscure pieces of trivia from the original Star Wars movie and seemed the perfect source for the title of our Star Wars parody webcomic.
What is Blue Milk Special?
A webcomic that parodies the Original Trilogy one scene at a time, starting with A New Hope, including The Holiday Special (yes, you read right) and Splinter of the Mind’s Eye (the first ever Star Wars novel, published before The Empire Strikes Back). We are currently about one third of the way through Return of the Jedi. The comic is written and illustrated by Rod and Leanne Hannah.
Blue Milk Special has been on the TopWebComics.com list since 2009. This began a slow climb from the 100s up to the Top 30 throughout 2010-2012. In September 2012, Blue Milk Special climbed to the Top 10 for the first time. Since then we have ceased offering voting incentives and focused on trying to keep our heads above water with twice weekly updates whenever possible on the main site.
Leanne Hannah:
Leanne Hannah is an illustrator who has worked for Marvel Comics, Hasbro, Scholastic, and Mattel, amongst other companies. Her most recent work includes Casper and the Spectrals for Ardden Entertainment and Whatever Happened to Baron Von Shock? for Rob Zombie and Image Comics.
In her spare time she and her husband Rod collaborate on a Star Wars web comic called Blue Milk Special where they lovingly poke fun at the original Trilogy of films.
Leanne currently lives in Maryland, loves studying history, is fiercely devoted to the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles, takes pride in her left-handedness and has more Beatles knowledge in her head than is probably healthy.
Rod William Hannah:
Rod William Hannah writes for the two-time Harvey Award winning Mice Templar (published by Image Comics) and the retro animation magazine Cereal:Geek. He has written and self-published the All-Ages comic book Once Upon A Caper and popular ongoing webcomic series Blue Milk Special (now translated into five languages!). Rod has edited and lettered indie comics, including Kevin Conn’s Lava-Roid and Jim McCarter’s Pulverized. He is currently dividing time between various writing projects including his first full length children’s novel.
Born in England, Rod moved to New Zealand when he was 5 1/2 years old. Love brought him to the East Coast of America where he now works with his comic book illustrator wife, a girl from Southern Maryland named Leanne Hannah.
Both Rod and Leanne are Friends of the Legion, an honor bestowed by the 501st Legion, a global Star Wars cosplay organization for their work on Blue Milk Special and charitable service.

We welcome all the support and help we can get and would love to see the BMS family grow. Contact us if you have ideas how you could contribute.
Blue Milk Special in other languages?
Without people like Gennady, Michael & the folks at Jedipedia.net, Vicent and Carlos, we would be an entirely monolingual fan project. If you speak Russian, Spanish, German or French, please check out those BMS sites and lend them your support and a few kind words.
When did Blue Milk Special start?
February 2009. I scripted 300 strips before we launched.
How often do you update?
We try to have at least one strip per week. Our current goal is Tuesday and Friday updates (as of August 4, 2014). We used to have a regular schedule and would update two or three times per week but, like any webcomic, as time goes by it gets harder to maintain a regular schedule. Webcomics with original creator-owned material might have an additional incentive to put other things aside in their personal lives to treat their project not only as a labor of love, but as a business. Legally, we are not able to pursue that avenue with our Star Wars fandom and we respect LucasFilm’s and Diseny’s rights over the property.
Will you publish a book collecting the Blue Milk Special strips?
No. See above. We could only do so if we were given a license from LucasFilm giving us their blessing and giving them royalties and a degree of control and censorship. WE enjoy our creative freedom and being able to throw in cameos of characters from other sci-fi properties. We publish Blue Milk Special for free as a pop culture parody under the Fair Use act. We are non-profit. Star Wars is Disney’s property now. We respect that and only make Blue Milk Special in the capacity of fans who his Original Trilogy inspired. BMS is free to read so if you like it, share it and have a laugh with your friends.
As aspiring creators of our own original comics we hope you and your friends might give our other projects a shot in the future. If you simply MUST rep BMS in some fashion then consider buying a T-shirt with our logo or a coffee mug or something… or a print. That is one way to help support us and help keep the project going.
What about prints and merchandise?
We sell prints of Blue Milk Special pinups and convention sketches, these (along with the site advertising) do not even cover the costs of the website database maintenance and convention expenses. For example, at a show like Baltimore, costs us $300 for a hotel, $200 for a table, and at least $100-$150 for food over the weekend. Our travel costs don’t even factor into Baltimore because it’s only an hour’s drive from where we live, but a place like New York would add either air or train travel costs into the bill between $300-$600 dollars more. Trust us, we do not make that back what we invest in Blue Milk Special as a project. We also have to print the prints that we sell and purchase art supplies. We are fans of Star Wars first and foremost and doing this for ourselves with you guys as encouragement. 🙂
Leia and Jawas should not smoke!
Neither myself or Leanne have EVER smoked in our entire lives and we’re not big fans of the activity either. Sure, both Leia and the Jawa would likely have healthier lungs and be better role models if they didn’t smoke. That’s the problem with perception that this project faces. Blue Milk Special is definitely not an educational comic or a diversion for parents to give their young children. Despite the cartoony style of our art, this is a parody and often that means looking at the innocence of Star Wars through the eyes of an adult. Blue Milk Special has never been aimed at anyone younger than a teen even though some of our strips are fairly harmless.
The majority of our gags are only really suitable for readers who have an awareness of sexual innuendo and have a tolerance for the odd surprise gore or violence now and then. Although we sometimes allow mild swearing, we limit our use of coarse language and for the most part avoid toilet humor altogether as it is not really our thing.
Carrie Fisher is awesome and the basis for our alternate interpretation of Princess Leia. The Smoking Jawa is modeled after the classic 1970s used-car salesman stereotype and thus wouldn’t feel right without a cigarette. Look at the book, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, which is was never inappropriate at the time, but when Han and Leia were turned into an item in The Empire Strikes Back, the Alan Dean Foster novel suddenly took on a twisted tone. Blue Milk Special is as much a commentary at times as it is a parody.
Will you parody the Prequel Trilogy?
No. At least, not in the same way as we have with the Original Trilogy. We won’t cover the Prequels extensively and IF we make it to the end of the Return of the Jedi and we decide to play with the Prequels as well, then it will likely be no more than 10 strips at most. Yes, as few as that.
Where are you based?
Southern Maryland… near Washington, DC.
Will you come to my local show?
We do like to set up at comic conventions, but it has to be practical for us due to travel, hotel and convention expenses. Shows within a few hours of Washington, DC are practical, but a day trip just to reach the city is expensive. We will always set up at Baltimore Comic Con and may also continue to attend Virginia Comic Cons throughout the year. Beyond this, we have to be selective about where we go. We are working on new, original creator-owned projects and may set up at Anime conventions and book fairs in the future.
If you have a show that you would like us to consider, please shoot us an email and tell us about it.
BMS vs Family Guy vs Robot Chicken?
Since we started getting noticed we have often been compared to the Family Guy and Robot Chicken Star Wars parodies. It seems unecessary to have to address this at all, particularly as in many ways we preceded or were running parallel to the Star Wars parodies aired on Fox and Cartoon Network. However, there was an occasion where we were attacked in our comment thread by fans of Family Guy for what one guy felt was a stolen gag. It was a simple case of a similar sense of humor, but it left a bitter feeling for me. BMS is a fan project and any costs come directly out of Leanne’s and my own day job paycheck. We invest an enormous amount of time into something that can never be of financial reward to us. We are all working from the same source material and so occasionally we might cross into similar territory but there is never any conscious plagiarism, just as I am sure Family Guy and Robot Chicken work hard not to copy one another. Blue Milk Special doesn’t always have an easy task in trying to find new twists on such well parodied material. Ultimately, we are a webcomic. There really is no reason to compare us to Network animated shows although I will take it as a compliment anyway.
Read more about Blue Milk Special…
Blue Milk Special is non-profit and made by fans for fans. Star Wars characters are used under fair-use laws as pop culture parody. But what is Blue Milk Special? Don’t know yet? Click here.
The strip follows the events of the Original Star Wars Trilogy in chronological order… meaning you won’t see much of later characters until we reach that point in the story (although some might make guest appearances in our own original linking material). That being said, we are basically a gag strip, so we’re pretty liberal with our take on events. You’ll also find unique story elements and alternative characterization which evolves as the strip progresses –Biggs Darklighter being one of our key examples.
We are aided on occasion by the talented Geoffrey Padilla, who provides additional 3D spaceship models which are cel-shaded to have simpler cartoony feel (see 3D modeling credits below).
Below is a list of the various 3D models and credit to the talents behind their creation. Thank you to those that have made their hard work available and allowed us the raw material to rework into the BMS style!

Hi,
I met you guys at last years BMore Comic Con. I’ve enjoyed your strip since, can’t get enough of it.
I only have one question. How do you find time to do the strip? I’ve been trying to catch up with two strips that I have a little bit before thanksgiving. Lets just say that I work too much during the day and I am spent for the rest of the time.
I’m just curious on how you do your time management.
Sincerely
Leo Crespo
http://www.alacrancomics.com

Hi Leo.
We’re really glad you liked the strip enough to stick with us!
In regards to time management… Leanne and I both have full time day jobs and a long commute. When we get home we are both busy with various writing and art projects. I write for Cereal:Geek magazine and for the Harvey Award winning Mice Templar, as well as my own soon to be launched indie comic along with various scripts and novels. Leanne is working on comic book projects that have taken up the majority of her spare time since the beginning of last year. Only a couple of those projects were paying ones, but still, fitting BMS into that would have been impossible if we hadn’t come up with the idea to do a lot of the ground work in advance.
Our solution was to treat BMS like FIlmation treated animation, producing all the key characters and poses in advance and then dropping them into the scenes using layers in Photoshop. so in a way, we are using a paper doll method. We would love to have greater variety, but we can only produce new poses on a limited basis due to our schedules. Somehow we manage to turn out the strips pretty consistently each week. Each strip takes on average 2.5 hours (if most of the art is already done) and about 4-6 hours if substantial new art is required. That’s a lot of time.
When we first started, we were 6 strips ahead, but for the majority of our first year we’ve been about one strip ahead (our first BMS anniversary just just hit in mid-February). For the first 6 months or so we were producing 3 strips a week. We dropped down to 2 later in the year. After our vacation in New Zealand over Xmas we suffered post vacation depression and January was our first real hiatus. We are nearing the end of the A New Hope storyarc which should wrap up by the middle of March. We will be taking another break over April. In part to focus on other things and also to build up stock for new art necessary for the new costumes and characters of the period in-between ANH and TESB.
Back to management, it really comes down to avoiding video games, television, and online fandoms. We have to make the time to be creative. It’s easy to be a consumer, but you can’t get too far as a creator if you don’t ruthlessly avoid time sapping activities. Part of what helps motivate a project like BMS is that we get great feedback from readers. Since our site got hacked, we’ve actually had more feedback and support than ever and we’ve hit a brand new high.
Oh, by the way, I don’t watch TV and I seldom watch movies. The only time I do, it’s pre-recorded or downloaded video and I watch it in broken up installments with Leanne during lunch and dinner. Yes, we really are THAT busy. Few of our friends seem to understand how serious we are when it comes to focusing on our creative endeavors! 🙂
Hmm. I’ve contemplated how much more I could get done were I to drop World of Warcraft. I play three nights a week a couple hours (or so) at a time and I know that time could go towards updating at least twice a week. Someday if I gain a larger following, I would seriously consider letting it go.
This answered all the questions I never thought to ask and more. Thanks
Rod and Leanne, that’s inspirational. What you’re doing is actually very typical of all the stories I’ve heard of creative people who have succeeded.
I think what you’re doing will eventually reap greater, much deserved rewards.
John
Thanks, John. I think that’s great you have faith, but I can’t see Blue Milk Special going anywhere beyond being a fan project. I do see it as a potential launching pad for original creative projects however. Lately I’ve been toying with the idea of doing our own Space Opera using the same art style and production method. But, there no way I can handle more than one project on this scale at a time. I still have a lot of George Lucas style tweaks to make to some of the more rushed early strips. Fixing poor lettering and balloons etc. Some of the older strips are embarrassing. Anyway, trust me, we started BMS with no delusions of this really going anywhere. The most we hope for is to be well known and well liked by SW fans and webcomics readers. Heck, that might even be a delusion! 😉
I think we now all know this isn’t the case:
“Heck, that might even be a delusion!”
Nice to see such dedication appreciated.
I laughed SO HARD I almost wet myself (yeah I know WTMI)! Keep it up! Long Live Biggs, my new favorite character (sorry Luke). I am recarding my vintage Kenner figures and have an extra set of the original 21 with Boba Fett so, as I like your comic a great deal, I will be putting them on Custom Blue Milk Special Cards backs. I will send copies of the cards to your Face Book wall. Also I made a Biggs card for a Biggs Fan Club Exclusive. I hope you like them. Can we see a Death Star Droid soon, so I can make a card ? You had good pictures of the other 20 in your strip, which required minimal clean up.
I will also make a cut away, over the card, template, so anyone with a carded figure can just cut around the bubble and mock up a previously carded figure.
Please Post any shows you are planning on going to.
Keep it coming!
Tom G.
P.S. Good work on MIce Templar also.
Thanks for the enthusiasm and kind words (plus a Templar comment! Woohoo!). We’d love to see the BMS carded figures when you get a chance to share them! I’ll have to give the Death Star Droid some thought. Are you talking about the C3PO type droid or the mouse droid? Also, very glad to hear we are winning readers over to Biggs. His cape pretty much dictated his characterization in our webcomic. He’s going to be hard to phase out of BMS. I’m torn. I don’t want Lando to cramp his style.
Hey there! You guys rock!!! The strips are too funny and like Tom, Biggs is now my new favorite character 🙂
I think it’d be great if Biggs kept popping up in the future, though he doesn’t have anything to do with the plots of the other two films and what happens between them.
Nonetheless, I’m really looking forward to the future strips! Keep up the awesome work!!
-Becky
P.S. I’m thrilled that you guys will be doing the Holiday Special and Splinter of the Mind’s Eye in addition to the original trilogy! Can’t wait!
Wow! Thanks so much Becky! Messages like this really get us fired up in a good way. It’s great to know that there are some readers out there who are actually looking forward to our forthcoming Holiday Special and Splinter of the Mind’s Eye parodies with anticipation. That’s a big thrill for us. And yeah, in response to the reader support for Biggs, he will definitely continue to appear though to what extent during Empire Strikers Back and ROTJ I’m currently uncertain. Most of the remaining material written for him is set within our Interquel (pre-Holiday Special period).
This is the best comic there is. I had a longer post ready but i felt like that summed it up nicely.
Thanks Sam! That’s really flattering. I can’t possibly agree with you although I’m glad you and one or two others love what we’re doing. The thing is, BMS may have original ideas and perspectives on certain aspects of the Star Wars universe, but we are not wholly original like many great webcomics out there. The work of our fellow creators, particularly with their own unique worlds and the characters and tales that stem from them, along with their courage to do their own thing is what really deserves admiration and acknowledgment. In many ways its hard not to worry that we’re just riding the coat-tails of Star Wars, because to a large extent that’s exactly true. But I do believe in our “fan” webcomic and that what we are doing still has some worth of its own because Leanne’s visual style and our sense of humor and unique elements like Biggs, Jabba, George Lucas himself, and so on make it stand on its own. We hope some day that readers will appreciate what we’re doing with BMS enough to follow us on future creative journeys beyond the universe of Star Wars and into worlds entirely our own. 🙂
You guys are by far the best web comic out there right now!!!! I got turned on to this strip at work and loved it so much that I made it my mission to make sure that all my Star Wars loving friends read this comic. As of right now I have not found a person that has not loved it! I can’t wait to see the train wreak that is known as Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. Keep up all the great work we love it!!!!!
P.S. I know its been said before but BIGGS KICKS ASS!!!
If Trent above is who I think he is, he’s been pretty successful at sharing the joy. I’m hooked, along with a bunch of my buddies from starwarsaddiction.com & the 501st Legion.
I utterly adore the Wedge/Biggs storyline. Can’t wait for more!
We can’t thank Trent enough, and anyone who has helped spread the word. You guys rock! 🙂
Over at SWAC many a discussion on BMS…..Jawas Rule!
Hello!
I started reading this comic… Hm. Yesterday?
Heh, I got so hooked up I already read it all! Now starts the waiting game… But I think that waiting for every new comic will simply be awesome, you know, one of those “I can’t stand it! When does it come out already!” feelings… And when it comes, it fills you with endless joy.
The Original Trilogy movies are simply the only ones I call “The Classics”. There are many old movie I like and respect, hm, Godfather for example… But nothing comes compared to Star Wars, with which I have many memories, memories that I will always cherish. I haven’t done, read or even watched anything related to Star Wars in quite a long time, so I have your comic to thank for reminding me…
Except for the humor and general appeal of it, I can’t tell you how much I am amazed at your effort, at the scene by scene story telling… Introduction to some minor characters that you portray so interestingly, and of course, a lot of fun facts and info. Biggs!
And here comes the awkward part… The New Trilogy. I guess people have asked before, so I am sorry… But… Will you do the new trilogy?
I get that most true fans hate the new series, because of the plot, the succumbing to the CGI, the loss of importance of some characters… Still, I seem to be one of the few people who like the whole series… I see everything great that there is about the legendary old ones, but I can also live with the new ones, since they have some good side and potential.
Also, there are some very interesting comic books, novels and series (even both off the Clone Wars series) which you could do.
If you were to do the new trilogy, I would mostly want to see your take on Grievous (since he is my favorite character and quite interesting), younger Yoda, the clones, young Obi Wan, Anakin of course, Mace Windu…
Whether you do it or not, you have done a great job so far and I am sure you will continue to do so.
Best wishes!
Sorry it took me so long to respond to this. One reason is that it’s a difficult question because I don’t want to offend Prequel Trilogy fans with my response.
Will we do the New Trilogy… ie the Prequels? We won’t rule out doing one or two random strips parodying specific moments in the Prequels… but will we cover each film in a thorough chronological style as we’ve done with the Original Trilogy? No. The reason for that is that we aren’t fans of the newer films or even Clone Wars. While we could certainly do a lot of strips featuring very sarcastic and critical humor, it would most likely be too negative and not as much fun. Grievous is an interesting idea and design. Likewise, so was Count Dooku… but little else particularly compels me as a fan to do anything about it. As a long time fan of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, it was easy to warm to Dooku, but they did so little with him because so much else was going on all at once in those films. Grievous also suffered from feeling more like a special effect than an actual villain. Both certainly deserved more development than they got. Whether CW develops them further and more satisfactorily, I don’t know, but our frustration with the PT is still a factor against any desire to invest the sort of time we have for the OT.
Thank you for the reply! Unimportant if it took you a long time, you formulated it quite nicely.
First of all, I can’t believe I forgot to mention Dooku in my question… I can only agree with you, Dooku and Grievous ( <3 lol) are like… Something unused that should be used (sorry, no metaphor). CW does partially help their characters, but only to a degree. Again, of these 2 animated series, like with the movies, the one that came first is far better than the second one, in all aspects. (Gendy Tartakovsky is unsurpassed at cartoons)
Hm, anyways, it saddens me that you wont do the whole films, but you explained why quite nicely, and I respect that. I will look forward to those possible random strips, as I will to every new chapter you make.
It seems that these characters will only reach their full potential in my fan fiction, hehe. ;D
Again, best of wishes!
Hi guys!
It was cool to meet you at the NY Comic Con, Saturday! Are these things always that busy?
Thanks for the photo, and the drawing is awesome, Leanne. Are Luke and Han squaring off against me, the viewer, for the hand of our beloved princess? She seems pleased by the attention.
Keep up the good work! One of my favorite strips: Threepio getting run over by the sand crawler. I’d run him over too!
-Phil
That’s the first time I’ve heard someone say one of their favorite strips was the Sandcrawler one. I don’t think we got much feedback on that one back in the day, so I kind of figured it wasn’t quite the hit I’d hoped for.
It was nice meeting you at the show. Leanne had a lot of fun!
Hola !
I asked you about getting the NY Comic Con stuff on Facebook, remember? Send me an e-mail if you got the shipping rate figured,ok? The stuff looks awesome in thr picture posted, and is the milk carton in the form of R2 ?
Thanks !
Maria @._.@
Sorry about that. It’s just bad timing around conventions as they take up so much of our energy and thought processes. Shoot me your mailing address again by email and I’ll start making a list of people for whom we will need postage info.
Great ! will do !!
Just want to thank the both of you for the great doodles you both did in my sketch book!! I’ve been enjoying your strips for over two years now since you turned me onto it at Baltimore ComicCon two years ago.
It was great meeting an avid read who has been with us from the early days! Thanks for your kind words.
Guys, LOVE what you do and always look forward to my next warped BMS visit to the galaxy far, far away. back when I was running Lightsabre I used to ‘syndicate’ Turning to the Dork Side. Now I’m co-owner of Jedi News I’ll be sure to bring Blue Milk Special to the masses as well!
Cheers and keep up the ever-excellent work (and I’m angling for a BMS designed avatar!)
It could happen if you treat us right! 😉 LOL
hey guys! just checking in to let you know how much i love your comics. amazing job!
oh and i want to let you know that i’ve linked you on my page, hope this is ok with you 😉
Thanks Taz! We really appreciate. I’d love to see your page.
Hey, just needed to join the love-in on this page.
You guys are an inspiration, and I hope you get lots of positive added exposure when Mark runs BMS on Jedi News. That said, I’d better get my arse in gear and draw something new – doh.
Thanks Neil. Leanne and I look forward to your work too. 🙂
If you haven’t seen it already: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/e732/
Your my hero, Biggs Darklighter ;o
Where do we contact you through email?
The top of the “about” page gives a link to email us. I don’t want to publish the address openly anywhere on the site to avoid spam. Click “about” and then the first sentence on that page has a link.
Need any help manning the table at Baltimore comic-Con?
I’m loving this site! The comic strips are funny and cool! I like it that BMS focuses more on the original trilogy. I like the original better than the prequels. Keep those comic strips coming!
Great meeting you @ PowerCon 2011, guys!! The site looks awesome! Keep up the outstanding work and if you’d like to promote your stuff further, I run an eNewsletter that goes out to over 750 members, pros, and fans. E-mail me to discuss. Thanks!
cR
I know its expensive and a trek, but will you guys be at the NY con this weekend? I first met you guys there last year and I was looking forward to saying hello
Not this year, and for precisely those reasons. It’s an expensive show to do, particularly for out-of-towners like us. We might possibly do NYCC next year IF we get our original comic projects into a material form by then. Right now we are just about to begin designing the characters for our first ever Manga. 🙂 Promoting that, and other new products, would make NYCC more worth while. Right now, all we would be promoting is Blue Milk Special again, and that’s too expensive. One reason we asked for donations is the cost out of our own pocket to attend shows and to keep the site running. Since, BMS is non profit, it burns a big hole in our savings right now.
I’ve followed BMS for such a long time. It’s one of my favorite comic strips. 😀
Just out of curiosity– I know you have done the Holiday Special and Splinter of a Mind’s Eye, but are you and Leanne going to do Shadows of the Empire after ESB or jump right to ROTJ? There would be plenty of awesome (or blunderous) Vader moments in there for you to do when it comes to trying to capture Luke Skywalker and get the best of his new arch rival, Prince Xizor! 🙂
Anyways, keep up the good work! I always look forward to new strips!! (And Yoda is adorable, by the way) 😀
Ive just found your site father it was mentioned in a fanfic I was reading and all I can say is wow! I’ve been reading these strait through and loved it, particularly the shot of Leia pushing the falcon. Can’t wait to see what y’all do next.
Thank you for all you do! Love reading the strip, and am often surprised by the giggles and belly laughs I get from some of your stuff… Looking forward to ROTJ!!
I feel like I have Aunt Beru’s Tupperware when I see this in my refrigerator.
