This week’s theme: Obi-Wan’s face!

This week we’ve seen Obi-Wan’s face get masked, caricatured, and express a range of emotions, but each time Obi-Wan was the one wearing it. Today, Obi Wan’s face makes an appearance in a Star Wars comic -- without any Obi-Wan attached.

Darth Vader is not normally the kind of evil genius who cooks up hairbrained schemes; it’s just not part of his “ruthlessly efficient” vibe. But -- this one time -- he really did go full Snidely Whiplash.

We don’t know anything about the actor who was surgically altered to look like Obi-Wan and trained by Vader to act like him. We don’t know his name nor motivation, not even his species. I’ve dubbed him Fake-i-Wan, and I freaking cherish him. Though Vader is an absolute weirdo in this story, Fake-i-Wan goes on to have a beautiful character arc. And though Obi-Wan himself was not a part of this story, I am sure a gracious Jedi like himself would not mind sharing a face with this complex and ultimately heroic man.

Star Wars Newspaper Comic Strip: “The Return of Ben Kenobi.” June 13, 15, and 16, 1982. Writer: Archie Goodwin. Illustrator: Al Williamson.

This week’s theme: “It’s like a rainbow!”

I’ve noticed that, due to my love for newspaper comics and storyboards, this blog can get a little black-and-white. And Star Wars in general has a muted, lived-in, all-around tan sort of color palette. But some comic panels are truly psychedelic!

Today, the finale to Dark Horse’s monumental Dark Empire trilogy asks the big question: what if superweapon is rainbow? This comic, called Empire’s End, is generally considered the weakest of the trilogy. I agree with this, but I also think they do stuff with color that no other Star Wars comic dares to do! Is it executed well? I don’t know about that, but at least it’s fabulous.

“Dark Empire III: Empire’s End, issue 2: Rage of the Emperor.” Dark Horse. November 28, 1995. Writers: Tom Veitch and Mike Beidler. Penciller, Inker, and Colorist: Jim Baikie (king!!!). Letterer: Lois Buhalis.
