Title: The Star Wars: A New Comic Series
Post by: Blackthorne on August 09, 2013, 12:47:03 PM
Based on George Lucas' Original Script from 1974!

That's right - Han Solo is a 6 foot tall Lizard, Darth Vader is an evil general, Annakin Starkiller..... all the goodies of old!  Check out this trailer!!!

Oh, I can't wait.  This is some good old-fashioned what if fun.  That script is a DOOZY!  It'll be cool to see it come to life this way.

Oh fuck yeah.  Hahaha.  This is awesome.  I remember reading that script online years ago and being fascinated/horrified/amused by it.  I don't buy comics much anymore, but I'd shell out for this.

The best part is George Lucas' likeness being used for Luke Skywalker.  So hilariously nerdy.

Also, what an interesting challenge for the artists!  To be tasked with designing the look of things based ONLY on George Lucas' words and not on the decades of iconic imagery that we have come to know and love.  Looks like they did use the old McQuarrie concept paintings as at least a partial reference, though.  Still, very cool.

Yeah!  I'm seeing some of those Ralph McQuarrie designs in the art, which is SUPER AMAZING AWESOME.
