Anyone know the issue number for this? I'd like to read the whole thing myself, just for kicks. Shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of.

Just based on reading the one panel alone, I assumed "muffin hair" was one of the same kind of aliens as the winged woman at the bottom. They have the same kind of hairline, so that makes sense. Though she has very pointy ears, and his aren't really pointy at all. On top of that, the story tells about three Jedi coming to visit, and the panel depicts three men. Of course, Vader is in his costume, and Obi-Wan looks about as old as he is in SW... So, it is hard to tell what to make of that anyway. Maybe Obi-Wan is meant to look younger and the illustrator assumed Vader always wore that getup?

Still, though, at the end of this comic, the creature states that Luke is wearing the lightsaber of the Jedi who was chiefly responsible for saving them and Luke says that his father was someone he could be proud of

If this is really in the story (memory can be a tricky thing), then I'd say it is non-debatable, the other pupil was definitely meant to be Luke's father. The wookipedia entry about the third pupil is clearly ret-con, so I wouldn't even consider it in this discussion.

I'd say if "muffin man" isn't one of the winged aliens, then there is a good chance he was intended to be Luke's father. It seems pretty clear the story was implying Luke's father to be one of the three Jedi, given the comment on his lightasber and calling Luke "the chosen one".

EDIT:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/S%27kytri

Wookipedia claims the S'kytri alien males have blue skin, while the females have green skin, which, if not just an interpretation of that page by some LFL employee, supports it just being a random S'kytri male. I imagine the actual comic has to have more images of the Skytri in it, right? If they look at all like muffin head, then this discussion is kind of pointless.
