Boba Fett joins the hunt
Greedo’s Cousins are joined by Boba Fett in their hunt for revenge upon Han Solo. We will endeavor to surprise you as this short story arc unfolds over the next couple of weeks.
Star Wars: Celebration V is now officially over. We have to thank Joshua (Shadow Stormtrooper) and Paul (Smoking Jawa) for going above and beyond that of ordinary readers by putting aside time while in their costumes and without to hand out Blue Milk Special promotional cards at the event. And to everyone who helped them, we thank you! We hoped everyone who attended had a fantastic time and we envy you all greatly. We hope to see some photos from the event in the next few days, so please share your links.
I suppose the biggest news was that the Return of the Jedi BluRay release next year will include the deleted scene featuring Darth Vader calling out to Luke through the Force while Luke sits in a cave on Tatooine putting the finishing touches on his lightsaber. It ignites with a powerful THX surround sound thrum that caused the Celebration V audience to roar with almost cringe worthy excitement. I was thrilled too. Hard not to be when the sight followed by the sound of the lightsaber was so powerful and… well… COOL! But the guy in the audience roaring “YEAH!!!!!!!!!” just makes me laugh every time I watch this clip. See the video above. Reminds me of the crazy Ronnie James Dio fan at the Black Sabbath signing a couple years ago.
I love Boba, he is one of my favorite BMS characters. What is with that lock of hair ?
I’m super excited to seen that seen on Blue Ray. It makes luke’s first time igniting the lightsaber more dramatic and somewhat more appropriate but it also takes away the surprise of R2 shooting it up to luke that I always liked. I hope there are more sense like it.
The brown piece at his shoulder? It’s part of his cape. If you look down further, it’s the same color as the cape.
Well, not really a *cape*, as such, but it’s material of some sort.
I have a PVC figure at home that lists his braids as braided wookie fur. Some kind of war trophie from wookies he appairently killed. I always figured he had some prior link to Chewbacca, as well as Han Solo.
In BMS it’s probably just a shag rug he braided to tell his fans he took out a wookie clan single handed. Who’s gonna tell him they don’t believe him?
LOL! You got it, T.
It’s funny, an Irish radio station were discussing ESB and Star Wars today and the presenter said he had “150 of the ‘figurines’ – but when i was an older teenager I came back from a holiday and my dad said he’d given them all away to my young cousin. Becasue he liked them.”
The co-presenter ALSO had around 150 of them. When his parents moved house years after he left, they left the lot in the attic!
I hate it when things like that happen. You get this great collection/awesome thing and your parents just give it away to a little kid. It happened to me with my Game Boy. I got a newer one but I still liked the old one because it had a better battery life
Actually, think of the monetary value! I’m more sentimental about these things but imagine going around and asking whatever thugs are living there now if you can have your 150 figures – worth €10 – €50 each – back? I haven’t done the maths yet. They’d probably think they’re worth tens of thousands. I live in Ireland, I know how suspicious people can be.
This is great folks. Boba is still just TOTALLY AWESOME MAN! even though he does absolutley nothing.
Great to see that footage. God it’s so different from what we’re used to – but interestingly – quite reminiscent of the Pequels.
You know, if this was put at the start of the film it would change it massively. This would be Vader’s big entrance. And, you’d get a few seconds of hot – out of place – Tatooine, then off we go to ice cold Hoth. It’s not wrong – or worse, it’s just a sort of ‘TOTAL MOVIE ALTERING’ addition. Fascinating stuff! The PT was quite jumpy like that. Hopping about all over the place. I suppose nowadays, that scene would come before the opening titles.
Goerge should move on, stop tweaking, become a creative again like he used to be – and make NEW films. Surely the response to the Prequel trilogy has taught him how to go forward? Instead of retreating and giving up, make more films heeding the advice on offer from a good team. It worked before.
Agh – my brain’s a mess. This is RotJ – not ESB!
He said that the seen isn’t being reinstated just in the bonus features of the Blue Ray set.
Actually he is making a film called Red Tails.
Ah… not a Star Wars movie then. Well, maybe it’ll do him good to get away from it – as long as he’s creating. Hitchcock didn’t do sequels did he?
Rhetorical question of course.
Hey what happened to the voting links?
The other sites were poorly managed. I was seeing webcomics come out of nowhere after months of languishing with no activity to suddenly rocketing forth with hundreds of hits and then suddenly going quiet again. This really annoyed me because BMS has played the game legitimately by working hard to promote our comic and create voting incentives. Then you get these people who come along and cheat by changing their IP addresses between votes to vote multiple times in one day, or using automatic program to multi-vote. TopWebComics.com is the only place that I know consciously try to crack down on cheaters. TopWebComics.com also happens to be the largest webcomic list out there that allows voting. So, considering that the smaller lists are the ones that fail to enforce a modicum of honesty from their participants, I didn’t see the point asking our loyal readers to keep going to the trouble of voting with them. From now on we will just stick with TopWebComics.com. 🙂
OK. read the rest, now I’ll have to surf aimlessly for an extra 5 minutes every day.
Thanks a-lot ;=
Nice. It’s like they’ve irresponsibly introduced us to hard drugs and then started to limit supply.
awwwww, when i try to watch the clip it says “this video has been removed because of lucasfilm ltd rights bla bla bla ” :/ any chance you get it up and running again? i saw a part from the comic when luke builds his lightsaber from material from obi’s old hut in the wastes, so I was really looking forward to see the “real” version of the event… typical…
That sucks. If anyone knows of a working YouTube clip for this scene, please let us know!
Here is one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4wnXW5ugbw
Once again – Sam’s the man!
Thanks Sam. I’ve fixed the link. I hope this one stays up.
ha ha ha, good thing boba fett is the best self-promoter in the universe.
🙁 I can’t watch the vid. Message comes up saying “This is a private video. If you have been sent this video, please make sure you accept the sender’s friend request.” ???? what’s that about?
I’m sure whoever uploaded the video made it private to protect it from Lucasfilm taking it down. I don’t think we’re going to be able to keep posting working links for the new urls each time someone ups a new version of this vid on YouTube only for it to last a couple of days. I encourage our readers to search YouTube.com for the video themselves. Good luck. It’s worth it.
i followed the earlier link to youtube, and it also says “it’s a private clip, you must have accpeted etc etc”. guess we won’t be able to see this in the nearest future. hm, might have to even buy a copy of it when it’s released. woudn’t be any loss either, having it take up space in the dvd-section of your livingroom’s shelves :3
Oooooh, what a dissappointment, but couldn’t see the clip! 🙁
I haven’t commented before, I found this site yesterday and this is how far I’ve gotten! I’m addicted! <3
By the way, if you are not finished ROTJ yet, please don't make Hayden Christiansen appear in the end of it as Luke's father, pleeeeeeeeeease?!
Welcome! And you got a deal re: Christensen.
Dang, that clip is private. Must be something really good if it keeps getting removed like that.
