Uh oh! A little foreshadowing and potential spoiler! Today’s strip is a direct nod and thank you to our friends at the Jedipedia.net Star Wars community. They have hosted and spread awareness of Blue Milk Special among German speakers worldwide and been generous hosts and friends for the last three years. Jedipedia.net is more than just a German language equivalent of Wookiepedia, it is a thriving community of Star Wars fans that is active in supporting project like Mission Orange, the children’s charity project of that we talked about in our strip last week (see here).

Jedi-Con_2014_LogoIt is day two of the Official German Star Wars Fan Club’s Jedi-Con event. The Three day show runs from Oct 3 to 5, at Düsseldorf Maritim Hotel.

We have been uploading a convention themed strip as a tie-in with our friends at Jedipedia each day of the show. Jedipedia.net is the German equivalent of Wookieepedia. They have hosted the German Blue Milk Special translation for the last three years and been great friends and supporters.

George Lucas and Princess Leia that we met at the show. Kindly retweeted by the 501st and Steve Sansweet. Great costume and sense of humor, kids!

Leanne, dwarfed just a little bit, by the best Wookie (made with real goat hair) we have ever seen in person.

At Saturday night’s Jedi-Con event “Jedi Challenge”, the signed artwork that Leanne and I illustrated for Jedipedia.net at last year’s Celebration Europe, was shown to the audience complete with the signatures of that show’s guests stars. The framed, autographed art piece is going to be uctioned for charity to benefit Mission Orange children’s charity in Germany.
