Making Camp
This scene in the film always made me wonder how Luke managed to fit all that junk in his X-wing.
Next strip… Yoda. 🙂
A small update to my professional (that’s arguable) website if anyone is interested in my current non-BMS projects.
I have now ended the recent poll concerning the Star Wars Blu Rays. Surprisingly, 33% of our readers said they refuse to even buy them. Perhaps, in a literal sense, this simply means many will be renting the Blu Rays from Netflix instead. However, that’s still a bigger number of boycotters than I would have thought, even from our readership. 12% didn’t even care about the Blu Rays. 10% felt so angry that they were compelled to use strong language on the subject.
Of the 18% that had something positive to say, all agree that the quality of the films on Blu Ray was excellent, but were divided over the worthiness of the changes that were made. Only 2% (that’s 10 voters) actually liked the whole package, alterations included. 26% said they had not seen the Blu Rays yet, but decided to state this rather than wait to vote until they had viewed a copy. That’s what I get for deliberately putting stupid choices in the poll.
There’s a new poll up now. “Which is your least favorite Star Wars film?” Feel free to comment.
Right! And what about all the camping gear lost during the first Death Star Battle. Seems to be a waste if you ask me!
LOL
Silly, everyone knows scifi vessels are always way bigger on the inside. 😉
What, No Kitchen Sink?
I suppose he had to make some cuts.
For some reason, all I can think of is how Artoo is ready to blend in with his surroundings thanks to the camouflage.
What, no porn mags?
Where’s Biggs and Bouncy?
Don’t forget Luke can access Holo porn via Artoo.
Would it be in the form the porno archives of Itchy Bacca? Not that Itchy’s in a porn…euhh 😛
While i did love the joke (and BMS in general),
I always assumed most of this gear is part of the X wing’s systems-
the power generator with an R2 charging attachment and lights for example.
makes much more sense then thinking he packet that “just in case” along with a few rations it would make a good start for a camp.
still loved you take on lukes “camp” (or is it a bachelor pad at this point?)
I’ve got an old star wars comic where Luke is blind fold saber training in the back of his x-wing. Its very spacious in that small cargo compartment behind the seat.
LOL Do you remember which issue? I probably have it.
what always bothered me was not the amount of stuff but how large and bulky some of it was considering the small size of the cargo hatch… not to mention that the cargo compartment access is on the BOTTOM on the ship.
I can’t recall which episode is my least favorite. Whichever one it is that Padme and Anakin get married in. I say it would have to be that one as it made so little impression on me that I FORGOT I saw it until I was over halfway through it a second time then realized, “I already saw this shit!” *click*
Only other movie I had that happen is the Lost in Space movie. Also forgot I saw it the first time.
It was episode II that they get married in. Episode III you lean that the ol’ Pads is preggers–no, not prejudice, autocorrect!
Hey! Like the new poll! Although the phantom menace has some of my favorite characters (Qui-Gon, Darth Maul, ect.), I still have to say it was the worst of the 6 movies. Mainly because of slow plot and bad acting on Anakin’s part. And let’s not even get in to Jar-Jar. Thanks for bring us Blue Milk special for the whole world to enjoy!
I agree Maxwell, Phantom is bad in parts but is loads better than Return of the Jedi. ROTJ didn’t have enough grit/teeth to it especially with the Ewoks.
Sorry, but I’ll take the Ewoks over Jar-Jar. Then again, I suppose I’m one of the rare people who like the Ewok films.
The thing I’ve wondered is how and why he unloaded all that stuff from the ship. What was he planning to do? Make it lighter so it would float?
um, I’m 99% positive that the cargo bay is on the bottom of an X-wing. What a terrible design flaw; most crash landings involve the belly of the ship ramming into the ground, like this.
I was right: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4841/xwing.jpg
The Cargo Bay seems to be directly underneath R-2, maybe there would be some access through his slot, if not the cockpit?
Or maybe, gasp, the movie has some continuity errors!
Or maybe, because this X-wing cross section was created a long time after the movies, it’s not really canon. In any case, it seems like the guy didn’t consider the issue of having the cargo below.
I’m gonna have to side with T on this one. If you think about it, there is literally nowhere else it could go besides the bottom.
Oh, and Rod and Leanne, just because I haven’t commented in months doesn’t mean I haven’t seen every new strip the day it’s posted or that I haven’t voted for BMS on TWC as much as I could. Don’t worry, you hadn’t lost me.
Ditto to the last part that Nate said: I don’t get to comment often – health issues limit my computer time, and webcomic comments often have to take a back seat to telecommuting for work – but I still read and vote regularly as well!
You really should try doing one with Veers yelling ‘Target, Maximum Firepower!’ and then throwing a snowball. Or something.
I Luke watching “So Graham Norton?” Good show! :p
I don’t think the “I haven’t seen them yet” is necessarily a stupid choice. I don’t have a Blu Ray player at home, but I can’t rule out the possibility that I might get one in the future.
I just think it was a stupid choice on my part to make it a voting option. The question can’t be answered by people who haven’t seen it yet and if they intend to see it then they are better off waiting before they vote.
Nappa: What’s the power on the generator, Vegeta?
Vegeta: It’s exactly Nine Thousaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!
