The Falling Out #1
Here’s our little prelude to the opening of the Holiday Special cartoon. Chewie is often represented rather blatantly as a substitute for the faithful canine companion… man’s best friend… The dog sticking its head out the passenger seat window as Tom Hank’s cruises the streets. Even the Holiday Special cartoon makes this comparison with its title “The Story of the Faithful Wookiee”. So, with this faithful “ever present” canine aspect in mind, we wanted to show some of the potential pitfalls of a Han / Leia romance.
Han and Chewie don’t show up in the cartoon special until after they have located the mysterious mystical plot device. We just needed to set things up a bit with this prelude, as limiting ourselves to the events of the Story of the Faithful Wookie without expanding upon them would be pretty boring.
Watch the Story of the Faithful Wookiee aka The Boba Fett Cartoon below…

This strip reminds me of a certain Garfunkel & Oates song…
RAWR! Princess Leia’s got herself a mean right hook! ….or is that a right cross? Somebody who knows their boxing hits please advise. X )
But still….RAWR! Han’s been in need of a good swat for a while, now. I mean, he’s my favorite cinematic smartass, but you know he’s not getting away with that attitude *all* the time.
When you put it that way, I want to see how things turn out should Han “meet” Indy
It’s a cross, Karen. The fist is extended past the leading knee. (By the way, the straight punch shown here has about 2/3 the power of the reverse punch, where the forward step is taken with the opposite foot as the throwing hand.)
More Boba Fett please!!!
I know it’s coming I just can’t wait to get my fix.
By the way, best bount hunter in the Galexy or not, lets give him some credit, as he did accomplish 2 things respectable for his profession;
1- He was crafty enough to stay behind and wait for the falcon to show itself in Empire, presumably after the other bounty hunters left with little or no leads.
2- He got paid (and by a Hutt no less), which is what ultimately separates a Bounty Hunter from a chump with a gun and a wanted photo.
Still, I like your Glory Hound approach, it just brings out another aspect of the character.
A voyeur wookiee!? 😯
I’ll have to remember, if/when I have a ladyfriend over, to blindfold my wookiee mug …
😉
I love that Chewie’s expression doesn’t change a bit between the last two panels.

Dude! You were asking for that one!
Let’s see…Han hit Luke, Leia hits Han…The only thing missing in this triangle relationship is Luke hitting Leia.
sorry, but Chewy gets left out…At that time, Leia still had problems with “walking carpets” getting in her way.
Oh no?! Not the holiday special!! I talked to Peter Mayhew about that myself, that was one of the more interesting convention exchanges I’ve participated in!
Do tell!
