"Star Wars" Fun, Part 2

"QUANTUM SHOT" #335
Link - by Avi Abrams

Still Going Strong (after all these years)

The dedication and exuberance of "Star Wars" die-hard fans are nothing short of astonishing. Somebody should pitch them against the "Star Trek" loyalists and see who comes up with the wildest ideas and endures the longest without any new movie releases. But you have to admit, The Epic Good vs. Evil Battle is never quite as fun without Luke and Vader, and we have to thank George Lucas for that.
