Han has much to learn
The results of last month’s BMS poll are in. Who would have guessed the Millennium Falcon would have beaten the Twin Pod Cloud Car or that the X-Wing would come second? We now have a new poll which may help BMS Command to decide what we do in the future in the way of conventions. So please take a moment to let us know your stance on conventions and whether you would go to one and whether you think we should mobilize BMS once more. It’s been a while and currently the only shows we are looking at this year are Baltimore Comic Con and Virginia Comic Con.
You can vote for us at TopWebComics and get a bonus incentive strip. In the meantime, please leave a comment and let us know what YOU think.
I totally get why the Millennium Falcon wins the poll. I attribute that spacecraft alone for the advent of SUVs.
Naah it was the Star Trek Shuttlecraft! Just look at the resemblance!
So that’s one base a movie, ROTJ will be very interesting 😉
What is everybodys thoughts on the Star Wars Blue Ray release ?
I agree with the first place choice (that’s my choice, too!) My only question is where’s the SPEEDER BIKE?
And… what about Star Destroyers? I want me one of those… 🙂
Luke’s facial progression from panels 2-4 is great.
Just found BMS last week or so, took me a bit to get caught up but the journey was fantastic =D. Wanted to post before, but didn’t want to necro discussion threads from last year, heh. Hands-down this is the best commentary/parody/tribute of SW I’ve seen.
I too was looking for the speeder bikes. I don’t have room for the Falcon in my garage but a speeder bike? Now that would definatly win the best in show at Bike week here in Daytona! I voted for the A-wing… It was always my favorite when I played the old X-Wing game.
Congrats on the carton contest!
THX! I sent you one I am workign on. Let me know what you think. I’ll probably work on it more tonight.
Oh X-Wing and Tie Fighter were great games. I wish LucasGames would producer more Star Wars Space Combat Simulation games!
Agreed!
I voted never for Sci-Fi conventions. Mainly because the one’s you’d be going to are in America, and I’m in the UK.
I’d definitely go to conventions if we had any worth talking about.
So it’s true that after he allowed himself to be ambushed by a bloody large wampa, Luke felt a right tit.
ROFLOL!!!
“Staring awkwardly” at Neil that’s just wrong… He was obviously getting everyone abreast with the situation.
LOL! 😀
But are you sure he had any mammary of the attack?
Quit acting like boobs, you are just milking it. Those pointers are a pretty nice pair but, I’m sure, as questions go, the Biguns will be addressed. For now lets try to keep those puppies contained.
This site maintains the appearance of a respectable forum after all.
Boom – boom! Good one!
I voted for the Millenium Falcon as well. Granted, you’d have to be some kind of a mechanic to keep it in flying condition, but that’s just the thing: I don’t really move around a lot, so I figured I could just land the ship somewhere and live in it. If the vote had been for coolest vehicle I would’ve voted for the AT-AT, but I wouldn’t really want to travel around in one. People would get upset, you know. Granted, sitting in an AT-AT, I could ignore that for a while, but then I’d pretty much be stuck in there until someone ties the legs together with a wire.
Yeah Luke, I mean gross man that’s your… oh never mind. ;(
It’s amazing how many times a joke can be beaten into the ground and still be funny. 😉
I don’t think this requires the knowledge of their relationship to be funny, though. Just the act of placing someone’s hand on your breast and then staring awkwardly at one another was the main source of the humor. 🙂
SNORT!
They didn’t know at that point so can’t really fault them. But instead of the kiss, grabbing his hand and giving him a feel, that’s funny!
I really appreciate Chewie’s reaction…. My golden retriever does the exact same thing when my wife and I do anything like that.
the falcon u can live on, sort of. but the xwing u cant, sorry xwing.
I’m not sure which is more disturbing actually: this or the kiss?!?!
Many lolz to be had anyway ;P
Love you guys so much I made you my homepage! oooh yeeeah 😉
What I wanted wasn’t on the poll. If it’s a vehicle, then it moves under it’s own power. That’s no moon, It’s my ride!
Of all the vehicles listed, the Falcon was the only one with a hyperdrive that would be comfortable to live in. By far, the best one for touring the local star systems.
Luke has so much to learn
I would go to Baltimore to see you guys. I don’t have much cause to go to conventions anymore. I like ones with no crowds! There is so little I like in the mainstream anway. My perfect con would include BMS, Sergio Aragonés, Red Letter Media, and New England Comics (The Tick).
So honored to be included in your perfect con. I think a guest list like that would be awesome. 🙂
Another fan of Groo and BMS, (and the Tick) you obviously have good taste in comics. 🙂
Actually, I think I found this place due to a reccomendation in the Groop forum, may have been yours. 🙂
Cheers!
Also Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery, which Tone in the Groop turned me on to, but you have to be into bicylces to get most of it.
I think I found RLM through a post in this forum, so its all word of mouth you see.
Yep, so far I’ve plugged BMS in every forum I visit (the Groop at least 2X).
Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Leia the Playa! X D
Wait until you see Slave Leia with a “Playa” Tramp Stamp! I should have asked for that as my Pin-up! :lol
I keep looking for a FB-style “Like” button.
Ah well. LIKE!
lolz
Once again BMS comes up with the goods. Of course this sets up nicely for ROTJ
Obi-Wan Kenobi “The other Yoda spoke of was your twin sister”
*Luke flashes back to groping Leia’s boob*
Luke Skywalker “$#it, it’s Leia isn’t it?”
Obi-Wan Kenobi “Yeah, should have mentioned that sooner. Sorry”
Actually I am hoping Luke thinks that Biggs is his twin sister :p
I found your survey disappointing in its lack of the Naboo starfighter, which has always been one of my favorite designs, the Star Destroyer and lastly the Corellian Corvette. But with the current choices the X wing was the clear winner.
We purposefully left out anything bigger than a Corvette. We figured it would skew the poll to obviously in favor of people choosing a moon sized space station, or a giant star destroyer.
so you didn’t include the motorcycle (speeder bike) or the oversized truck (star destroyer or bigger). what were the midlife crisis men supposed to pick? I suppose A-wing or TIE Interceptor are the closest thing to a sports car 😛
I just forgot about the Speeder Bike. There are so many to list! 🙂
I really wanted to see the expression on Han’s face in the final panel.
I wasn’t around when the poll was run, but my answer comes without doubt or hesitation :
TIE Defender.
Funny thing… Back when those dogfighter-style games were being made, I never got to play the X-Wing game, nor the versus title. I did however play TIE Fighter for a rather long time. I got a good feel for the progression of the TIE series… from the fighter through the Interceptor and the Advanced (Vader’s TIE), and even though it ended on some weird Missile Gunship thingie, without a shadow of a doubt the TIE Defender was the best thing that came out of it.
It was fastest. It was second most heavily armed. It had shields AND hyperdrive of its own.
The TIE Defender was like the frickin robot-vampire-ninja-jesus of the Imperial fleet. It could do everything… almost.
My second choice would be the TIE Phantom from Rebel Assault 2.
I dunno what it is about 3-finned TIE craft, but I loved that one too. Plus it had stealth. Who wouldn’t want stealth? =D … That and it was somewhat smaller than the TIE Defender, if one considers garage space important.
… And that’s how Luke actually lost that hand.
