No, There is Another

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, I'm posting two Star Wars themed gags today. These two coupled with the one on Monday make three, which is the number of movies George Lucas should have stopped at*.

Here I imagine what life would have been like had two of Star Wars' most nasty villains been Mormon.Hopefully, by posting an extra comic today, I've atoned for my failure to recognize Empire's true anniversary last week. And I'll try not to blow it in the future. Rest assured I won't forget to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the George Clooney classic Batman and Robin later this summer.

*I'm not one of those fans that thinks the prequel was a total waste. I recognize a lot of good came from the three newer movies. For example, we were introduced to a bunch of cool, new characters; Revenge of the Sith was a pretty fun movie; and (most importantly) the prequels introduced Star Wars to a whole new generation of fans. That said, Lucas' reputation would have been better served had he not tried to stretch one movie's worth of material into three.
