When Wookiees Try to Help
Hey! I have great news! Our next door neighbor just finished renovating their house! Or should I say… website?
Remember John White, the creator of the StarWarsAge9 webcomic? John is one of our webcomic brothers-in-arms. I like to think of BMS and SWA9 as good neighbors. When John was 9 years old (back around 1979 or so) he put pen to paper and made his own comic book adaptation of the Star Wars movie. He is now sharing those often unintentionally humorous pages from his old journals with the world via his website, which he only recently relaunched with a new website. You can now leave comments for each page as well as enjoy all the old features like John’s excellent blog, which I highly recommend, and of course his contemporary commentary on the works of his younger self. Always something to smile at, so check it out three times each week on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays! You can join the Facebook page for updates and further discussion. I encourage you to also take a moment to show your appreciation for his efforts by voting for him as often as you can! It all helps increase exposure. 🙂
Are you new to BMS? If so, then you can start reading this webcomic from the beginning by clicking here.

I absolutely love boba fett’s gansta pose =D and that last line is genius as well as the plot-device bit too.
boba fett makes everything better.
“Suffering from a plot device,” … excellent, sounds like a comment from our roleplaying table 🙂
What can I say Rod? You are a prince amongst WebComickers. Thanks as always for the support; given here and by email.
Folks, Rod has been a great inspiration in terms of his own work, his encouragement and feedback. I’ll try to get all the best of the old blog posts into the the new site today – and hopefully add a new one!
I’ll look forward to your ‘comments’ on the site content. Rod and Leanne: keep up the great work.
John
Yet again pure awesome!!!!
“Suffering from a plot device…” Aaaaaaaaaand I’ve lost it. At work. I hope you’re happy!!!
I’m keeping that line for future writer’s block rants. Will credit, natch. 🙂
I also just noticed Chewie’s eyes in the last panel. And now I’ll have nightmares forever.
Just how high are the ceilings on the Falcon anyway?
Chewbacca is (i’m guessing) 7.5 feet tall, plus the rope (1 foot?) plus about 2 feet shown on Luke and han, plus we can not see the top, so 11 feet?.
Is this sort of like Lucas re-arranging the interior to fit the current script 🙂 ?
Sorry, I’m just being overly critical, because I’ve been such a kiss-ass so far 🙂 .
Keep up the good work! There, back to my old self.
That’s okay. BMS is a comical gag strip which pokes fun at everything and that gives us a license to move ceilings as necessary. GL didn’t have that excuse.
I wouldn’t worry about it -the Millennium Falcon always had the problem that the interior was bigger than the exterior..
you didn’t know?
The shows are related, the Falcon is a Tardis
No seriously.
He looks like a rely large Ewok.
Love the eyes! lol
Like I said before, the facial expressions is what kills me the most. In this case, Chewie’s puppy dog face.
Don’t mind me. Just found you and going through the archives. First time seeing that animated short in full. I know it hadn’t been established at the time, or so I assume, but, with prequel knowledge, shouldn’t Boba have contracted the magic “human only” virus too?
Oh, Mandalorian. I feel dumb now.
