It doesn’t matter what the Casuals say, the real Star Wars Day – the Orthodox Star Wars Day – has always been the 25th of May. So today is just as good a time to launch this project as any! (Okay, apart from maybe CreatureCantina.com’s actual 25th Anniversary, but I didn’t have enough of the bits & pieces to make this work, at that time.)

I’ve always loved “The Cantina.” Hells, I was submitting story ideas for it long before I officially joined the staff! But as anyone who doesn’t turn to A.I. for everything knows, drawing is a work-intensive endeavor that requires real talent. I haven’t got the kind of talent that can produce results that are good AND fast – you can have good, or you can have fast. But not both. Thankfully, the talented people who make “Star Wars” action figures and such have the “Good” part handled, so I can focus on the “Fast.”

Buckle up, buttercups, because WE’VE GOT MOVIE SIGN!!! Or something like that . . . .

”But wait!” you exclaim. “Didn’t Bill’s strip end with Tatooine getting disintegrated?!” Yes. Yes, it did. But after a brief confab with Bill, we sorted that out, and it doesn’t involve Momaw Nadon waking up to find Greedo in the shower, and it was all a dream.

Tune in next week for the second installment of “The Cantina” to see how we solved that!
