and Jackie Stallone deffo belongs in the Cantina
maybe someone from casting should put them in the live action series
nice to see the Marvel Comic pic
i had em all and the big versions..forgot the name they gave the oversized comics
sadly they ended up in the bin thanks to my mum
but ive started a collection again thanks to my local second hand exchange shop
Frankly, I don't see why the fact GL said it decades ago- about a decades old movie- makes it any less relevant.
Like it or not, his is the creative mind that sets scuh things, and that is the reason he gave. So if you want an in-universe explanation, which is what the poster wanted, that is what the explanation is.
The recent interviews regarding the TV series show how out of it Lucas is regarding facts about his own creation
Hes contradicted himself on numerous occasions since 77 so most of what he says regarding his characters should be taken with a pinch of salt and since the PT this has never been more so
even if it is about something as minor as Chewies medal

Same thing happened to me.
In fact I only found out they had been thrown out last year! 😠
I've got all the US comics on my hard drive, but I wanted the actual UK weekly versions of the comics I knew and loved, so I went a little mad on ebay and got pretty much all of them back now...
I'm in the process of scanning them at the moment - it's going to take ages - but I'll post them on here if and when I'm done, if anyone is interested...

im only collecting the pre ESB run but partic faves were a story with a pirate called Crimson Jack and one involving a guy named Tyler Lucien and some half man half droid bounty hunter whos name i should google
oh and Jaxx the 6 foot tall rabbit
Ah, Crimson Jack - the real reason Han couldn't pay off Jabba the Hutt using his reward money... 😉
I believe the cyborg bounty hunter was called Valance.
I'll start posting them next week, may as well start at the beginning with issue one...

That is merely an opinion.
But he has not contradicted it, therefore it is the most authoritative information we have. If you don't like it, tough. When it comes to matters like this, the forum rules do state that we take GL's word.

well to a lot of people Lucas word hasnt meant **** all since 1997
after he changed a hoodlum killer into the recipient of the luckiest point blank blaster miss in a Tattoine Cantina ever award
but seeing as i like this part of KMC ill guess ill have to appear to take the word of a filmaker who constantly changes his movies to make more $ and creates Prequels littered with ridiculous coincidences and the odd retro character continuity cock up
