One Last Song
I know we were running a bit late, but here’s the deal… Leanne and I both do the whole 8-5 day job thing and try to fit the fun creative side of our careers into our evenings and weekends. Leanne has some opportunities right now that have to take priority over our little Star Wars fan project, meaning that the brunt of the workload falls back on me. I was almost going to skip doing a new strip today when self-imposed guilt coupled with sudden inspiration changed my mind.
We’ll be back on Monday and Friday next week as we prepare to wrap up the Holiday Special in time for Star Wars: Celebration V. No, we won’t be attending, but you will find some fantastic exclusive promotional BMS postcards at the event being handed out by our awesome costumed volunteers. If you would like to aide them and help us out with a bit of promotion we’d love to hear from you.
While Bo Shek and Smoking Jawa return for cameos in today’s strip, we had a few cantina aliens that had yet to make an appearance and this seemed the perfect place for their debut. From left to right: the Duro husband and wife, Kleeklak (that green mantis thing), Kabe (the little bat creature), Hem Dazon (the triangle head), Muftak (the furry beeping whatsit?), Myo Abyssin and Nabrun Leids.
i don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that cantina song. What is the name of the band , the mataloids ?
Figrin D’ann and the Modal Nodes, I believe. My spelling might be a nit off, but what’s new?
I usually have that effect on paople when I sing.
BTW what is Greedo doing in the Cantina picture? He was dead by then!
Please don’t say it was his look alike relative either.
Is he still dead in the corner in your version?
Also, speeking of behind the scene photos, I love the one with Greedo in High heels. Appairently he was played by a relatively short female, but I could never get the crossdressing Greedo image out of my mind after seeing it. Anyone know if it is posted online?
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. We’ve downloaded most of what is available from the Star Wars Holiday Special.com website. Anyway, Greedo in heels? What a great idea.
Little do any of you realize that we have a whole mini-story arc in our Interquel material revolving around Greedo’s brothers and cousins trying to get revenge. When we felt that we had been a little too self indulgent with our protracted series of interquel strips, keeping our readers from stuff like the Holiday Special and TESB for too long, we cut it short. However, we still have about 6 or 7 strips that are completed and ready to go if we need to fill time between now and the next big story arc (Splinter of the Mind’s Eye OR TESB if we skip the former). Anyway, what we’re going to do is insert the Greedo’s cousins storyline right after we wrap the Holiday Special. This will help us prepare for either SOTME or TESB.
And yes… the body is still in the cantina. Chalmun, Wuher and Ackmena have been too busy serving the customers to do anything about it yet. 😉
Please don’t skip “Splinter of the Minds Eye”.
1- I located and bought the damn book, just so I could compare it to your parody.
2- The jokes about Luke, and Leia almost write themselves.
3- I will pout for at least a week, and send you pouty pictures of my kids to make you feel bad (psychological cyber warfare) ;=
4 – There is no four.
Thanks
This… tho I dont have kids so ill find some dead puppy pictures to make you feel bad (not my dog but what ever google has)
If you look at the seen with Han and Jaba there is another Greedo look alike.
Found some pics of Greedo in Heels (pink ones no less).
The actress MARIA DE ARAGON (pretty girl) will even sign photos of Greedo in heels.
Appairently she was not the only one to play Greedo, and Information on this?
See some cool shots at;

Also a neat fan made shot of greedo and captain Kirk, posted at the last link.
Wow! Great work finding these. I never knew about Greedo’s heels. This changes everything.
And here I thought that praying mantis alien was N’Grath, the crimeboss in Downbelow from the first season of Babylon 5.
I can see Greedo’s family wanting revenge and plotting away…..I’ve got members of my Jawa clan who plan clandestine raids on stormtroopers daily!
I agree. Please do NOT skip Splinter of the Minds Eye.
Another vote of confidence. Thanks!
