Boba Fett vs GPS
There is a new character about to make his debut in next week’s voting incentive. Obviously by saying “he” the gender of the character is male. He might also have a cape and a mustache, but he can’t be Biggs. Can you guess who? Hmmm…
A big “thank you” to Clone TV Star Wars Portuguese VideoCast for mentioning us on their site. Check them out for assorted Star Wars goodness!
A new poll has been put up and the old poll has been closed. The new poll is a simple question: “What is your favorite color lightsaber?” I’m not talking about the design, I’m just talking about the color. Growing up with the OT, as far as I was concerned, there were only ever three. Nowadays there is every conceivable color lightsaber, including pink… probably. However, being old school, I am only listing the OT colors and giving a fourth option as “other”.
You can leave a comment on the poll or here in the blog to elaborate on your choice. Does anyone know what color Leia’s lightsaber is? I have to admit, I don’t keep up with the multitude of expanded universe material. If I did, I’m sure I wouldn’t have the time to work on these strips!
Thank you to everyone who responded to the last poll. It is interesting to see how often you guys frequent the site. Wish we could manage a Monday and Friday update schedule like the old days, then those repeat visits would be more rewarding. For everyone who visits the site more than once a day… you guys are our core! I know we don’t always hit the mark with our gags, but for a small group we seem to be an important part of the daily net surfing.
Don’t forget, if you donate and leave the message “Blue Milk Special” you will get an exclusive BMS strip featuring Darth Vader and IG-88!
When I was a wee lad, my Luke action figures had yellow lightsabers. Oddly, my large size Obi-Wan also had a yellow. In fact the one I had was also yellow (and inflatable). I always hated that. Still not a lover of yellow. :-[
How do you make an Illegal U turn in space?
It beats my Garmin which tried to make me drive 2 miles to turn around once. Happy to say I made the Illegal U turn.
I find it increasingly hard not to comment early on next week’s/voting incentive strip. 😉
Leia’s was ‘Ruby Red’ wasn’t it? Not just ‘Red’, mind you, because damnit she’s a girl so her lightsaber has to have a special girly colour. Because she’s a girl (did we mention she was a girl?) So Ruby Red it was. Who knew The Force was so mysoginistic 🙂
My Garmin tried to make me turn into a lake once. I think perhaps I cussed it one too many times. Blue. I love blue!
Out of the proper colours blue is my favourite. I always wanted a black lightsaber.
A black lightsaber……A black lightsaber…..a…black…light………………………………whoa.
An infrared or Ultraviolet one, which would be invisible to some species, without sensors, would be cool. You could even tune the frequency of the noise to make it largely inaudible. I bet you could even play music with it.
Just don’t try to play it like a sax.
considering purple is my favorite color, purple sabers are definitely my favorite… and leia’s saber is first the ‘ruby red’ and it magically becomes blue later on…
But bad SAX is better than no SAX at all. 😉
Just ran full speed into that one didn’t I. When it comes to a deadly saber you must practice safe sax at all times.
Leia first had a training saber (which was a real lightsaber, only she didn’t normally carry it around) which was green like Luke’s. (Made by Luke, of course). Then she got the red one, also made by Luke, which she actually carried around. (Like a real jedi, even if she didn’t consider herself one). At some point it was suddenly described as blue instead… (stupid EU inconsistencies!) AND at a later point also described as made by Leia, instead by Luke. (Yes, my brain was hurting to read such inconsistencies). Don’t know what color she got after that, but I’ve seen some drawings where she has a blue lightsaber, so maybe it’s blue these days? *shrugs* I stopped reading that part of the EU, because it got too far out for me, and I was tired of seeing mistakes and inconsistencies all over the place.
I can relate! Thanks for the in depth info on the story of Leia’s saber!
Lora is correct, to my (vast) knowledge and (occasionally faulty) memory. I know she’s had a blue lightsaber since the New Jedi Order series, so that’s what her lightsaber color “is”, I suppose.
Also, I do use a GPS to get to random places that my boss makes me go, but I make sure to print out Mapquest directions before I leave, just in case.
I’m looking forward to BMS Lando. I’m sure he’s going to be smooth as an ice cold Blue Milk 45!
Ooooo, Lando! Almost forgot about him!
Can’t wait 4 Lando!!! ;D
