With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming out next week, now looks like the perfect time to revist another classic Top 5 list…
The Top 16 Changes in a Comic Book Star Wars Adaptation
16. Lightsaber sounds changed so they don’t have to spell it “Ngraow! Ngraow!”
15. Chanceloor Palpatine now keeps his Darth Sidious secret with a small pair of glasses.
14. The comic book will have a different, better ending so that the fans will be even MORE disappointed by the movie this time!
13. Full color fold-out centerfold contains schematics of a lightsaber.
12. To approximate intense action of the film’s lightsaber duels, comic includes pop-up pages.
11. To simulate all of the clones fighting other clones, entire pages of artwork will be recycled over and over and over…
10. Thanks to a cross-over with the Pokemon comic book, Rose is no longer the least interesting character.
9. Kevin Smith now has enough material for three new movies!
8. Radioactive spiders, and plenty of ’em!
7. Jedi Knight outfits feature muscle-clinging spandex and codpieces, and Rey looks to be at least a size 42DD in that skimpy clothing.
6. Jar-Jar replaced with an equally ridiculous family of sea-monkeys
5. Anakin completely unable to decide between Betty and Veronica.
4. A large, talking rabbit becomes a regular cast member. I only wish I were kidding…
3. Nancy and Sluggo with blasters!
2. Rey’s Jedi training consists of selling subscriptions to Grit.
And the Number 1 Change in a Comic Book Star Wars Adaptation…
- In comic book format, the main characters are much less two-dimensional.
List originally published by Top 5 on March 14, 2002 (Before the release of Episode II). I made a few relevant updates.
