Watching empire of dreams.
More people should see this. It’s fantastic.

‘Joseph Campbell said “George Lucas is the best student I ever had”’

Did Burt draw that?

Something nobody considers. Everybody the stormtroopers encounter on the Tantiive IV they kill. The corridors are littered with rebel bodies. The tons of stormtroopers that chase han and chewie and the gang back to the falcon have been instructed not only to miss but to herd them to the falcon in order to let them escape so that they can lead them to the rebel base. Vader even knowingly sacrifices the four ties that give chase as they escape. The entire Death Star with possibly millions of ties on board and they sent only four.
The homing beacon will do the work and help them crush the rebellion once and for all.
Leia saw through the ease of their escape being experienced in both rebel and imperial tactics.

While this is a good drawing and funny, I can't help but be a bit irked that the pen and pencils are conveniently placed to show that the person drew it.

I think I need a trip to some mountain range and get rid of all this grumpiness.

You noticed that too? It looks staged - which I assume it is - and almost looks like a parody of an instagram shoot or something. Weird.

The pencils are bothering you but the entirely unnecessary pair of shades aren’t?

worse, it was a pinterest post.

McP. They’re literally all dead by the time Vader walks in. He even stops and looks around at all the bodies on the floor ffs

That's an interesting thing to think about.

I remember as a kid me and my brother would get our sw toy blasters and recreate that hallway scene, pretending we were rebels waiting for the stormtroopers to burst through the door. We'd use our hallway as the uh, well, Tantive IV hallway. I think we may have used bowls for helmets. I remember putting vests on.

Yeah, those make no sense either. But I was focused on those darn artistic utensils!

That sounds like fun BV.
I had mad adventures with my Luke action figure and x wing toy my grandma bought me.

oh yeah. And taking my toys outside and using the tree out front as a base. And one place where we lived, there was a dead end at the end of the road, before it went into a field (and then woods). The dirt at the dead end eroded from runoff and made little canyons that could be used for star wars figures to use as trenches and base locations. Lots of fun.

Loved that stuff I think we all did that. Playing with them in the mud.

Kinda scary to think now I have a great many friends that spend thousands annually collecting these toys and action figures only to leave them on a shelf in a box unopened

Yeah, kinda sad too. Three or so years ago I put on the OT movies for my daughter and she liked them and wanted to play with my toys. The only ones I could find at the time were my little box of sw figures from the collection that came out around 1999-2000? These were OT, not prequels. So she played with those and my original 1983 Jabba the Hutt. So cool to see them being used instead of in a box.

now my sw toys (originals and newer items) just sit in containers in the basement. I keep thinking about selling some just to 1) make some money 2) maybe they would be put on display or played with. They don't do any good locked up downstairs.

It’s the right time to sell. I can link you ip to a few sw toy fb pages where you can move them easily, if you like.
The prices are only ever going up on this stuff but now particularly is a sellers window.

Cool, thanks. The only one i've used before was RebelScum 10 years ago to sell some new items.

I’ll pm you some links later. They seem like tight communities with little to no shenanigans.

dime, they literally take an eternity killing each other in a short, narrow hallway.
