Mad Art Lab has a big feature written by Slave Leo, a Rule 63 Princess Leia cosplayer. He’s got some interesting things to say.

Right after Leia wakes up she grabs a blaster and shoots a Stormtrooper who’s sneaking up on Han. Agreed? Oh, and who’s going to step up and draw Han being unfrozen from carbonite by a True Love’s Kiss from Leia? (by Kevin Keele, via /Film)

I simply applied logic to the situation: If we, here, learn to drive at age 16, why wouldn’t someone in Star Wars learn how to fly as a coming of age thing? Luke did, as a farm boy. Wedge did, working his parent’s gas station. Why not Leia, a daughter of privilege? She can handle firearms, she basically takes over her own escape from the Death Star. She survives torture. She BEATS torture, actually. Later we see her on speeder bikes, fixing the Falcon, shooting more dudes, and so on. It’s almost insulting to suggest she can’t fly an X-Wing, the Rebellion’s fighter of choice. — Brian Wood, writer of Dark Horse Comics’ latest Star Wars title, Star Wars, which aims to rewrite the Star Wars saga as if An New Hope was the only source material.
I suppose one could say that as a major leader of the Rebellion, she was too valuable to risk her life in near-suicidal raids on major Imperial bases like the assault on the Death Star… but even that breaks down when you consider that she was down on Endor with the rest of the raiding party. And hey, we’ve got plenty of fictional precedent for the leaders of small groups of fighters saddling up with their crew, from President Bill Pullman in Independence Day to Admiral Adama in Battlestar Galactica. And now that we know there were female X-Wing pilots… The conclusion seems unavoidable.

I’m putting you on notice, Internet. Why didn’t anyone tell me that Jeffrey Brown announced that he’d be making a sequel to Darth Vader and Son at San Diego Comic Con? Vader and Son was super cute, but it certainly left a pretty big thing out: the fact that Luke was a twin! Where was his sister’s book? This first image from the book, of Darth Vader indulging his daughter in a tea party with an Ewok, is pretty damn compelling, if you ask me. It’s a good thing there’s only pretend tea in those cups, because how would he even drink it?
Brown has also made some seasonally appropriate gift tags, if you’d like a cheerful candy-cane holding Darth Vader to adorn your gifts, available over at Comics Alliance.

You know, I’ve always wanted to try the “Victorious Wookie” pose, but my upper-body balance needs more attention before attempting that kind of thing. You can buy a print of this Princess Leia pose guide (by Rob Osborne) on Etsy. (via Diary of a Death Starlette)

James Hance is the master of the beloved fandom mashup (no really, look at this Beaker as Indiana Jones running from a rolling Bunsen head, or this Doctor and Amy as Peter and Wendy) and creator of the utterly adorable Wookie the Chew (a recasting of Winnie the Pooh with Han Solo, et al). He’s been posting previews of a new piece all week, and from the first image we were just waiting for him to finish so we could put it here.

This seems like some sort of revenge…of something. Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher is striking back at Star Trek actor William Shatner after he dissed her franchise by…dissing his franchise. There may or may not have been blaster/phaser battles involved in this intergalactic space fight. Let’s go to the videotape!

I constantly forget that Carrie Fisher was only nineteen when she made Star Wars, alongside co-stars six to twenty-four years her senior. She’s still a total boss in this interview tape, showing us the level at which Leia is completely aware of the political, military, and psychological consequences of her and the Rebellion’s actions and goals.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Fisher, and many happy returns!
