the 2600 game was endless walkers ,yes , though there were different levels of difficulty and sometimes you had to avoid the heat seeking missle or smart bomb they threw at you . It was my first Star Wars game though , so I am a little biased .
Here’s a hypothetical opening to a Tarantino/Japanese inspired 3-in-1:

I stole the dialogue from The Blackened Mantle.
this is awesome ! I want to see the whole movie made now !
I still want an animated series set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi . I hear Mark Hamill is a great voice actor , sometimes even a joker , though I do not know if he is a smoker or a midnight toker .

I cast my vote for The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari 2600 . Man ,I played that thing for hours on end as a kid and no one I knew could beat me at it . The cartridge would be hot to the touch when I was done .
Even I know that that must be a song lyric and I don’t know anything about song lyrics.
Frink , man , you are killing me softly with this
it is a nice Homage to Forbidden Planet though .
thank you Creox , and sorry if I got the thread off on a tangent
I decided I had more to say on the Last Jedi and it took me a long time to gather my thoughts on it ,so I wrote an article on it …https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/journal/
Really enjoyed reading that - nice one 😃
Seems a fair bit of credit should be going to those others who have contributed to Star Wars before…
Thank you ! I am glad you enjoyed it ,it took me a long time to write and compile everything and I am sure I left some stuff out,hopefully others on here will have feedback on it as well
I remember one day at school as a child, sitting inside during recess and reading a small peanuts black and white paperback book of comic strips that was on the classroom shelves in the recreation area and I strongly identified with Charlie Brown . I was a shy , introverted kid and was a bit wishy washy myself , picked last in sports ,not the popular kid, kind of alienated etc …Developed more self esteem and assertiveness later ,though I still have a little social awkwardness. Cool story by the way , and yeah , Snoopy rocks . My favorite is the original Great Pumpkin tv special with Snoopy as the Flying ace behind enemy lines.That show was an annual tradition in my household and my brother and I would have popcorn from a hot air popper and sit down to watch it , usually on CBS broadcasting here in The U.S.,this was in the late 70’s to mid 80’s and the show usually had announcements before it started to the effect of . "brought to you by Colgate ",or ther sponsors .I miss those days ,thank you for sharing this .

the last 20 minutes of 2001 synched to Echoes by Pink Floyd is a religious experience
David Gilmour is real last I checked …
funny enough , I never heard tv jedi , but it always sounded to me like Jabba said "shitty Jedi " . I know this is probably not the case ,I just find it funny

I liked The Last Jedi . That is all .
I always thought Waterworld with Kevin Costner drew from these comics without proper credit due and Dennis Hopper’s character reminded me a lot of Governor Quarg
you are welcome . I suppose I am a nerd as well although I do not feel bad about it as there are plenty of sports fans who do things like paint their faces up and wear foam cheese on their heads …glad you are enjoying and I thought the Omega frost story was where Infantino started to hit his stride on the art , also enjoyed his issues on the water world of Drexel that were inked by Terry Austin
awesome stuff folks ! thanks for posting it , that Starlog interview was great and yeah ,Marvel did come close a lot , they even got a cease and desist when they wanted to do a second Death Star so they made The Tarkin battle station story in 51-52 instead . and as was posted earlier , the debut of the Hoojibs issue had Rebels on early Speeder Bikes , a few issues down the line the furry little Lahsbees on hang gliders etc …also , here is a forum I found where someone reviews every single issue …,do not agree with everything but we all have our opinions ,interesting read anyhow …enjoy …http://classiccomics.org/thread/1039/star-wars-marvel-reviews-confessor
I had this book as a kid , I think this is very well done …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4KfO3bxWKE&list=LLQja0Hss6_NIUrfDfW_yYNA&index=108
what are people here’s favorite issues or story lines from the series ?
Pretty much any of the issues written by Archie Goodwin and drawn by Carmine Infantino. Those really are the highlights of the entire original Marvel run for me. Everything after ESB, is fine, but to me they don’t quite have the same charm and great mix between cartoony and serious that Goodwin managed to pull off.
very cool , those were great issues , nice collection ! I have all of those as well .
One of my goals whenever I’m visiting the US is to get original copies of all of the Goodwin/Infantino issues (plus whatever else I can get my hands on from both orig. Marvel and Dark Horse).
So far I only have the first storyline with the Dragonlords, and some of the stand-alone stories set in between the Baron Tagge storylines.
I’m personally not a big fan of the Aduba-3 storyline, the Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven in space idea was a pretty cool idea, but it was a tad too silly for me. However, does anyone know why Chaykin stopped writing SW after this storyline and why he was replaced by Goodwin? I’ve heard that Lucas didn’t like the way he was handling the stories so he requested he be replaced. Can anyone verify is that’s true or just speculation?
I am wondering if there is a difference between colors in the various reprint trades.
You should see what they did to the original Marvel comics in Scandinavia. Not only did they have their own colours, but they even edited the art itself to make it all fit within these big album sized comics.
Some examples of the editing they often did;
(The Dark Horse “A LONG TIME AGO” version of issue #31 “Return to Tatooine” on the left, and the Norwegian album version from 1982 on the right)
LINK to another example from issue #34 “Thunder in the Stars”
(PS. The movie adaptation of ANH didn’t even bother to make the colours similar, but they did at least never alter the art in any serious way.)
wow ! I have never seen some of those covers thank you for sharing ! they really stripped the colors out of some of those panels !
Awesome ! he should have his own movie ! ROTLC- Return of the Leapus Carnivorous ! Updated my gallery with a re imagining of Marvel Star Wars 59 by the way …https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/
