139: “Then it’s a wonder you’re still alive.”
c.early 1979? | age 10/11? There’s not much in this incomplete page today readers, but that’s how it goes at Star Wars age 9. What’s done is done. I can’t go back and change it now. Or at least: I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
138: “Luke, get the Princess back to the ship!”

107: “Look out—it’s loose!”
mid-1978 | age 9-10 If you’re confused, by the narrative flow here: read the little panel with the stormtrooper firing—before you look at the big bottom one. Script Notes: Killer Writing Ah yes, the ol’ “Let’s go” line. So good—that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
