Chinese comic of Ep IV w/ Chimp Chewie, Boba Fett, & "Kennedy Space Center"


Recommended Posts

A Rolling Stone article about an old Chinese comic adaptation of Episode IV, the article has a link to a blog post that includes .pdfs of the full comic, which are kind of fascinating to see (even for someone like me who cannot read the text).

 

Highlights include:

  • The attack on the Tantive IV including Boba Fett and the other Bounty Hunters from Empire. PDF #1 page 9
  • 6-foot tall Jawas and an Uncle Owen who looks like Clint Eastwood PDF #1 page 12
  • Leia's "Help me Obi-Wan" hologram looking like something out of a disco music video. (PDF #1 page 15)
  • Tusken Raiders being Aztec warriors. (PDF #1 page 22)
  • A cross between Darth Vader and He-Man posing in front of a Triceratops... no, really. (PDF #2 page 6)
  • The Death Star's display screen saying "Kennedy Space Center" on it. (PDF #2 page 17)
  • The Stormtroopers being Boba Fett clones decades before Episode II. (PDF #2 page 19)
  • Chewbacca's face being right out of Planet of the Apes. (PDF #3 page 4)
  • The Yavin rebel base looking like it is Kennedy Space Center, complete with rebels in contemporary three-piece suits. (PDF #3 pages 16-17)
  • And yeah, Luke and Leia are totally gonna bone right after the Heroes of Yavin ceremony. (PDF #4 page 10)
  • Plus the vehicle designs throughout are just crazy.

 

Honestly, this stuff has to been seen to be believed. Here are the direct links to the PDFs

So funny and yes chewie looks more ape than any other character.

 

They completely missed the style of ships too, is this a comedy comic? hoping good comics get to go there and let chinesse enjoy star wars as it is, they are mockign star wars with this comic whoever made it.
