Star Wars Deleted Scene

Okay-- This isn't really a deleted scene. It's an added scene. I drew this several years back and had mostly forgotten about it, until a friend reminded me. The original was only linework. I've added color to make it more blog-worthy...

Look at all the robots!

I was a guest at Plant Comicon this last weekend. It was a great show. I wouldn't be surprised if it beat its own attendance records. It was nice to visit with fans of Halo and Sprocket and with friends I don't often see.

Oddly for me, a robot theme emerged.

First, we have the exclusive Sprocket T-shirt I was offering....

Next, shortly after I set up my space, R2D2 (?!?) approached my table. An actual size, working robot!

Then, my friend Chris Grine (creator of the awesome Chickenhare) drew the quick sketch seen below. It's a takeoff of his 165 Bots With Stuff, as seen on the always entertaining Shoebox blog.

I also sat by artist Rob Davis. If his last name was "Ot," my con experience would have been complete.

Did George Lucas name the Blog?

Okay, I know he probably didn't. But, have you ever noticed how the names in the first Star Wars movie sound a lot like the characters' traits themselves? Kind of how blog sounds like web log?

Let's run through some of them...

First, we have some type of dark invader.

The main character, Luke, wants to get off his planet. If only he could walk into the sky.


Then we have a guy who likes to work alone... solo, if you will. Did I mention he's good with his hands?

However, he's not truly alone. He has a dog-like sidekick. We never see it, but I suspect he might chew and bark.

The lady in the film also has a meaningful name, but I won't lay it out for you.


Luke's master in the film will eventually be one with the universe.

Luke's master's master, who we don't see until the next movie, is spiritual and... Aw screw it! Yoda sounds like Yoga, okay?


I like Star Wars. I razz with love.
