There is a laundry list of things that Shaun and I can garner a heated debate from.  Star Wars is one of them.  Don’t get me wrong, I hold a special place in my heart for the Holy Trilogy; a trio of perfection when untouched by the hands of the Great Bearded One and his Wand of Digital Damnation.  That said, though, I am not quite the Purist that Shaun is.

I can’t help it.  I love all things Star Wars.  Okay, well, maybe not all things…but pretty damn close.  I can pick apart the shame that floats around the Prequels like a cloud of genius-eating nats…but I will freely admit to the fact that the soul purpose of my job at the local theater was to pre-screen the new Star Wars movies.  I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation and fell victim to an uncontrolable joy when Yoda pulled his tiny little lightsaber hilt.  And, yes, I find myself parked before my television every Friday night when Clone Wars comes on.

But, the truth remains Lucas can’t seem to stop himself from snipping one more of the collective heartstrings with each new iteration of the franchise that spawned my love for all things science fiction.  And there will come a day when I shall weep for what was and can no longer be…

For now, though, enjoy the comic!
