Just for those that aren’t aware, the actor who played Lobot was John Hollis, who also appeared in British sci-fi and spy-fi such as Doctor Who (the Mutants, with Garrick Hagon who played Biggs Darklighter in Star Wars), Blake’s 7 and The Avengers. Although about the only thing he shares in common with Patrick Stewart is being bald, I just couldn’t help but see him through BMS Vader’s simple eyes. See his previous appearances in Blue Milk Special. ๐Ÿ™‚

Celebration VI, the annual Star Wars convention held in Orlando, Florida that celebrates the universe that is Star Wars, is coming up next month. The theme for this year is Return of the Jedi and I’m sure the attendance will be phenomenal. I expect when Celebration VII rolls around next year, BMS will be in the final phase, parodying Return of the Jedi. For those that have never been, imagine how many cosplayers you will see when this single event, supported by LucasFilm, pulls together the various Star Wars costuming clubs from all over the country, and no doubt the world. It will be epic!

Although Blue Milk Special has never been officially represented at the show, fans have made sure to get the word out there about this silly little fan comic, handing out free BMS promo cards and recommending the site. Leanne and I don’t have too many of the promo cards left, but we plan to ship a good portion to our loyal supporters, De Jawa Vu and Blackhole Stormtrooper. If you are planning to go, then please spread the word to your fellow Star Wars convention goers that this fan parody webcomic might be worth their time! We greatly appreciate your support! ๐Ÿ™‚ The Forciness is with you!

Re: today’s strip… I’m not the only one to make the rather lame and superficial connection between Lobot and Picard/Locutus of Borg, am I? ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you enjoy!
