c.mid–late 1978 | age 9–10 My friends and I used to be baffled by that word Detention. Or maybe it was just me? We’d be playing a scene from Star Wars and all sorts of odd variations would come up.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

1978 | age 9-10 Today we’re still in early 1978. And we get another of my favourites! This is when Star Wars really takes off for me, when Solo shows his true colours and refuses to get involved in any rescue[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
102: “He keeps on saying, ‘she’s here'”
1978 | age 9-10 This page has some fun things in it, including a very un-characteristically irritable line of dialogue from Ben! Poor Artoo, he’s just trying to tell them something fairly important—you know?—about the Princess—who sent them on this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
101: Hong Kong Chewie!
(early-mid 1978 | 9-10 yrs old) Savour this page reader… savourrrr. Ok, never mind. I will for you. These ones are always my favourites. And get this! Chewie’s doing his 1970s Kung-Fu moves! Art Notes This has got to be early to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1982? | age 14? Not very funny is it? I didn’t even finish off Solo’s arm. My First Convention! For want of something else to write about, do you know that we’re bringing our 4 year old son to a Star[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
099: Chewie Thwacks the Gantry Officer
1978 | age 9–10 Hurrah! It’s an oldie. A second-pass adaptation page, with Chewie in action. And I’m still digging these incomplete sentences. The comic sure wouldn’t be same without them if. “You need a trailing dot—dot—dot dammit!” I sense[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1981?|age 12 or 13? I was trying to be a bit clever putting in the THX-1138 bit. In fact until a few years ago, I believed that this is what he said in the film. He actually says “TK-421”. My[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
097: “Who’s the more foolish?”
c.1983?|age 14/15? Panel 1 is lifted from Chaykin’s version. I don’t like Han in that one. He looks like Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart. “And togedder… dey was moider!” Wacka—wacka, chicka-wah-wah! I liked Wagner in one of the Austin Powers movies—oh[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1983?|age 13/14? I’ve published this page on a Tuesday, readers. Not on the usual, regular Mon | Weds | Fri. Simply because this one wouldn’t have been worth the wait until Wednesday. There’s a glued-in pic from Niall F’s Star Wars[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
095: “She lied—she lied to us!”
Art Notes c.1979?|age 11? It’s a rubbish, embarrassing page, but!—it features an Imperial baddie who’s just about as evil as they come. Not just evil. And no, not just very evil. We are now looking at a character that I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
