SWFUK PODCAST - Episode 6 Launched

*Sigghhh* Pete Pete Pete, allow me to respond to your points...

"The caricatures are ropey"
And you read the Marvel comics? Reallllyyyyy? Have you seen your avatar??

"The scenes have been recalled as if somebody drew it from memory"
Rather than copy them from a press photo cos thats better right?

"Surely Ben and the Jawas scene just brings back haunting memories of dead scorched people"
Powerful scene Pete, powerful scene (spoken a bit like Yoda)

"The key moment in the film of Ben v Vader is shoved off to the side"
Yeah ok, will give you that one

"The falcon in flight is miniature"
Its in the background

"R2 looks drunk"
I look drunk most of the time!

"Chewie looks disinterested"
They caught look of a wookie worried and in control at the same time. I, however, am disinterested in this point

"Leia looks a bit too big"
You of all people Pete! Leia looks gorgeous. End of.

"Is Tarkin down there in the corner in space, was he out the back of the death star having a sneaky fag whilst the battle was raging?"
Least they understood Tarkin was a key character in Star Wars, unlike Kenner at the time eh.

Seriously though, this wallpaper adorned my bedroom wall from the age of 7 to 10 (when I got Empire wallpaper) and had a major affect on me!. This wallpaper was the reason I wanted to build a tractor beam from a toilet roll and a yoghurt pot. This wallpaper was why everytime I went to the beach I built homesteads and not sandcastles. This wallpaper was why I fell in love with white gown Leia. And you say blah blah R2 looks drunk .You should be ashamed of yourself.

in a nutshell dear chap..

the comics are a stylistic approach, an artist caricaturing with consistency. That wallpaper star wars art looks like somebody didnt quite understand the film, or perspective, or logic. To compare and contrast, take the marvel star wars art vs the art done for the empire strikes back or rotj in the marvel comic run. The latter two were trying to be an accurate representation of the movies and got it 'right' most of the time (but if it went awry, it was blatant and gnawing on the eyes), but added little to the magic of the marvel brand. Star Wars was done in the 'marvel style'. I prefer the marvel style as it 'did it in its own way' and thus was art in itself.

You enjoy your star wars wallpaper near your beach.. and girls in bikinis... I would look at that paper and feel pained.. awkward, my eyes would hurt trying to focus on the iconic falcon.. it should have been bursting through the paper, exciting any young child's imagination, not flying around like a lazy bee.
 
Im so offended right now. If anyone didnt 'get' Star Wars it was Marvel surely. Lets give Vader red eyes, it makes him look more baaaddddd.

Anyways, Im not going to slag Marvel Star Wars off. I like all Star Wars.

So instead, here's one of their fantastic Darth Vader interpretations just for you. Enjoy.

"Tonight on Dragon's Den..."
 
For the comedy value Im hoping Petes SS gets him a roll and some paste
 
Bens reaction to Madines battle staff being a weapon is priceless. Up there with the reaction to Richards Falcon 3-pack.
 
Wow, finished listening to pod an had another listen to interview. Another corking episode (possibly best yet!). Chive cast cum back with der best 1 for a while then you jus smash the **** out of it with this episode, awesome!

Possibly 1 of me favourite episode that Chris dude was awesome, loved hearing bout his Yoda focus.

All sections were ace, you geezers have got it nailed.

Boom was brill, stu, Pete, grant and Richard you dudes crease me up, Ben I luv your input into show but don't try and be funny as I don't think you naturally are, but your central to the show, just be yourself and don't try and be like the others who appear to be naturally amusing.

Great work dudes, can't wait for the next, would love to be on 1 day. Great stuff!
