Fans of Star Wars are a passionate bunch, and we’re not shy about expressing our opinions regarding the franchise. Have you ever took part in a Star Wars conversation with multiple die-hard fans? When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the floodgates for picking apart the Sci-Fi universe once again opened with a roar. Following The Last Jedi, it was more like a tsunami.
Despite the growing negativity found on Twitter and in forums, making fun of Star Wars isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It points out obvious flaws within the franchise, which can eventually lead to improvements — if the higher-ups in Lucasfilm are paying any attention. To which we hope they are. Which is why we’ve tapped into the greatest fandom comics that have crossed the line since Star Wars first appeared on the big screen in 1977.
No film or television series is ever perfect. Fandom will always perceive what happened and what should have happened differently, although, at some point, a common ground is usually met upon. With Star Wars, it’s a bit more complicated. And that’s because of how the franchise has been run over the last 40 years. At first, it was all about George Lucas. And while he might be perceived as a god, at one time he was the laughingstock of fandom due to films like Attack of the Clones. Once Disney relaunched the franchise out of obscurity, the focus of fan꧟doms rage got pointed at Kathleen Kennedy and the various directors of the newer movies.
But rage is so unnecessary when humor is always an alternative outlet. So, put aside those angry feelings and have a good laugh instead as we give the best Star Wars comics that have crossed the line.
25 Mouse Power
It’s easy to throw stones at Disney regarding the direction and storytelling taking place in Star Wars films. But is this epidemic only occurring in t💟he movies, or has it spread throughout the SW universe like a force plague? The🍃 answer is no. And the solution regarding these issues is quite simple.
Thanks to insight from Kristian Harloff of Collider Jedi Council, the mouse power issue is all about micromanagement. Kathleen Kennedy is the president of Lucasfilm, which she should be due to her impeccable producing portfolio. What she is missing, however, is a strong creative team leader. Putting Dave Filoni (creator of the animated Clone Wars and Rebels series) in this slot would resolve many of the storytelling issues that have divided fandom. This move would free up Kennedy to do what she does best (produce a🤪nd lead) while giving fans the co🐎ntinuity they deserve through Filoni’s take on George Lucas’ character-driven style.
24 Get A Room
While not the most popular ship in Star Wars fandom, Kylux (Kylo Ren and General Hux) make an interesting couple. When they’re not trying to take each other out. What makes this Star Wars comic special is that this spectacle is playing out in front of Poe Dameron as opposed to Rey, who would be the obvious choice. Poe is often shipped with Finn (unofficially by Disney), whereas Rey is often shipped with Kylo. Perhaps this scene took place prior to Finn breaking Poe out. It would explain Poe’s heightened feelings towards Finn. But let’s be honest, Kylux wouldn’t last long due to them constantly trying to take the other one out. Hux was seconds away from doing so in TLJ, and he might try again in episode IX.
23 Princess Lessons
Disney Princesses have often come under fire for being terrible role models, shallow characters, and bad examples of feminism. These tropes aren❀’t that far off base, which is why adding Princess Leia into the mix changes the g♋ame.
Leia Organa is a sharp-witted warrior who isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
Not only is she outspoken, but Leia is strong and purposeful in everything she does — even when the out🌠come costs her more than another path might have. Princess Leia stands up to those who are oppressed, giving them a voice and a role-model to look up to. Despite her views concerning Alderaan's values of pacifism, Princess Leia believed in fighting for the galaxy's freedom no matter the personal cost. Even if that meant battling against her own child.
22 Genetic Whining
There’s a game (which involves strong beverages) in which the audience must take a drink every time Luke Skywalker whines in the original trilogy. It’s not an official game, just something a few high school buddies created in the 80s. Good luck making it through all three films. The same game can be played with the Prequels regarding Anakin instead of Luke, but look out — because Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones will put your endurance to the test. Much like Naruto’s shouting, Luke and Anakin’s whining w𒆙as a way to show their immaturity due to their rough upbringing. While the point hits home, there’s no arguing how annoying it is. And it’s obviously in the genes because Kylo Ren is prone towards his own bratty spats too.
21 Anything But Sand!
Anakin Skywalker was by far the worst Padawan ever in the history of the Jedi Order. Others have rebelled and gone off to the dark side, but at least they didn’t whine and moan like a spoiled c🉐hild while doing so. He never listened to Obi-Wan and his response of “yes Master,” was like a millennial saying, “I know.” Anakin only thought of himself, making him a total 🌃brat.
Disciplining Anakin through his fear of sand.
This Star Wars comic might not be so far off base, especially concerning Ahsoka’s attitude towards the two Jedi. How else could Obi-Wan Kenobi keep Anakin in line? It’s easy to criticize Obi-Wan for failing to train Anakin properly, 🅰but the reality is that he did everything he possibly could.
20 Disney Invasion
Upon Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012, fans knew changes were on their way for the beloved franchise. Not all change is bad, but the fear of what is presented within this 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars comic is justified. And if we’re going to be completely honest, the fear remains. Disney is notorious for removing details and characteristics from a character within their stories. Take The Prince, featured above in this comic. He never had a name in Snow White, he was simply known as The Prince. It wasn’t until Once Upon a Time that his name was revealed to be David. Will the future of Star Wars be full of empty characters going through the motions of a fairytale st꧋yle story? Only time will tell.
19 Bad Chewie
Chewbacca’s name comes from the Russian word Sobaka (собака), which means dog. Mel Brooks apparently did his research, which is why Barf was a dog-human hybrid played by John Candy. Whereas Brooks made fun of this by having Barf eating dog treats, this Star Wars comic pokes fun at chewie’s origins through more anatomical means. Since bathrooms aren’t shown within the Star Wars universeಞ, having Chewie perform his business like a ✤dog isn’t that farfetched.
The term Wookiee came about because of a joke told by voice actor Terry McGovern. McGovern worked with George Lucas, doing voice-over tracks, for THX 1138 (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lucas’ first film). During one of the takes, Terry McGove🧸rn improvised by saying, “I think I just ran over a Wookiee.”
18 Deleted Scenes From TLJ
Never in the history of Star Wars have fans ever been this divided over a single movie. The Prequels touched the hearts of millennials, but even they can agree with the old heads that Jar-Jar Binks was a bad idea. But in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, fandom either loves or hates what Rian Johnson brought to the table. Disney continues to tease fans by saying the Special Edition Blu-ray will contain over 20 deleted scenes, and we can’t help but wonder if one of those beats looks like this comic. If J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson put their ideas together, this fandom comi🙈c strip would likely be the result. It has Johnson’s style of humor combined with Abrams technique of trying to copy the format of the original trilogy.
17 The Real Han Solo
There are two versions of Han Solo. The ruthless arrogant smuggler pre-rebel days, and the arrogant rebel who returned to smuggling. This Star Wars comic gives fans a taste of the real Han Solo. No matter where Han was in his life, he was a scoundrel deep down inside. Which makes this comic funny and plausible. Perhaps Han made Leia keep the gold bikini outfit for extracurricular activities not shown in the films. Heck, he could have teased her for days by hiding her clothes, forcing her to wear the ridiculous outfit while aboard the Millennium Falcon. While we’ll likely never know, this comic easily takes the number one spot on our list of Star Wars comics that crossed the line.
16 Force Ghosts
Yoda once stated to Qui-Gon Jinn, “Eternal life — the ultimate goal of the Sith, yet they can never achieve it; it comes only through the release of self, not the exaltation of self. It comes through compassion, not greed. Love is the answer to the darkness.” Force ghosts have become a hot-topic since Disney announced they were reviving the Star Wars films. But their execution in bringing this concept back has driven the discussion into one of total mayhem. Like Yoda returning as a ghost in The Last Jedi, only to light a tree on fire with force lightning. Or not having Anakin return as a force ghost to conf🐠ront his grandson Ben. Considering Harrison Ford’s joy regarding his character being taken out, it’s unlikely audiences will see his force ghost anytime soon.
