HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN WILLIAMS!

The other night I was listening to his score for the rebel attack on the Death Star and the trench run.  Leanne mentioned it is the composer’s birthday today.  I shouldn’t have to tell anyone who John Williams is, given that he not only gave us the Star Wars theme, but the themes for Jaws, Indiana Jones, Home Alone and Harry Potter.

I think I’ll listen to the trench run again!

So, the feedback from last blog’s question, concerning readers favorite BMS characters, has yielded results.  Vader and Biggs win followed by Han and Chewie.  It was nice to see Leia getting a mention.  It also helps us to have an idea about who needs more time in the spotlight.

I’m glad Vader has been received so well.  In truth, I can’t remember where the idea to give him the coffee cup came from, although it was Leanne’s idea to stick the Star Trek logo on it.  I think the idea for the cup must have just crept into the sixth strip when I was writing the scene with Captain Antilles.  The idea of Vader strangling a rebel while holding his morning latte just seemed like gold.

Keep those comments coming regarding your favorite BMS characters.  I have another question for you guys this week and that is which supporting characters would you like to see return?
