Artoo Detoo’s Opinion
Totally delighted with Geoffrey Padilla’s recreation of the floating Falcon from the Holiday Special cartoon. Geoffrey, as you will recall, joined the Blue Milk Special team as our 3D modeler when we put out a call for help with our spacecraft. You’ll still see those screen grabs in our older strips, usually with a vectorized ‘cut out’ effect courtesy of photoshop, but it was hard to be satisfied with them and the contrast between Leanne’s cartoon style. Geoff reworked an existing 3D Millennium Falcon model into a cell-shaded (animated look) and modeled the flotation buoys himself. The effect is both sharp and perfect! Look forward to seeing more of Geoff’s work in both past and future strips.
Last week we announced that Blue Milk Special would have a table at Baltimore Comic Con (August 28-29) and New York Comic Con (Oct 8-10). If you will be attending and would be willing to not only meet us but to help us pass out our stash of exclusive Blue Milk Special promotional postcards to passers-by, then we would be most grateful. We would ideally like to find some Star Wars costumed fans to help drum up some attention and direct attendees to our, most likely, hard to find table. If you or any fans that you know might be interested, please get in touch with us.

For some reason I read the last panel in Anthony Daniels voice, that made it even more funny.
Ha! I did exactly the same thing …
Pal, i ALWAYS read this in anthony daniels voice! 😀
Now that you mentioned it I did too.
BTW the Falcon looks great!
Anytime they have 3PO in it I read it and hear Anthony Daniels voice!
Hehe, best part of this is it almost seems like it could be canon to me. I have always imagined that artoo had a dirty mouth.
Me too. I love how R2’s got that one tone of beeping that you know means something rude.
me too!
I’d like to see a race btween the ebon hawk and the millenium falcon to see which one’s the faster. If you ask me, it seems Daviv Kang kept the hawk in better shape than han kept the falcon, but then again after revans and, especially, the xile’s use of it, it’s been “downgraded” into a flying wreckage like the falcon, if not more.
please comment and tell me who you’d cheer/bet on or would win! 😀
Zach touch on what I think.
This strip is so much fun because, aside from some blatant farcical humor (like Tarkin in the Bunny Slippers), some of the scenes are almost plausable. They could have happened in the movies, or just off screen, without being a disruption.
This one is a perfect example of what R2 could have really been saying, in droid, and we would have just noticed the beeps.
Great stuff! I wasn’t expecting that punchline.
Geoffrey is doing excellent work too – so many thanks to you for that Geoffrey.
Oh… and you were expecting all our other punchlines, huh? Well great! 😉
BRAVO to Geoffrey Padilla for his artwork! As always, BRAVA to Leanne for her artwork! And BRAVO to you, Rod, for the bwa-ha funny writing and gags and other special touches!
Going through withdrawell symptoms 🙁 :(=
Be back tomorrow 😉 ;=
I look at the falcon and for some reason think Futurama ._.
