Marvel Star Wars #8 Comic Review

In Star Wars #7 you may remember that the comic took a foray into the world of Ben Kenobi in solitude on Tatooine, we return with this issue to the previous story arc!

We return to the un-named planet where we saw to everyone's surprise, Han Solo's wife! After a bit of a verbal back and forth between Han, Leia & Sana Solo, Sana decides to give Leia up to the imperials and blows up Han & Leia's stolen shuttle!

We cut to Luke Skywalker piloting his X-Wing and still on his quest to learn to become a Jedi Knight. They Land on an un-savoury planet called Nar-Shadda and find a Cantina where Luke wants to find un-registered transport to Coruscant to visit the Jedi Temple. Luke gets attacked, for seemingly no reason at all and ignites his lightsaber, an unknown assassin disarms Luke and steals his Jedi weapon.

We go back to Han & Leia, Leia pulls a hidden blaster and trains it on both Han & Sana believing that Han has set her up! They look to the sky, just as a squad of TIE fighters scream into view!!!

I really enjoyed this one, not much happens to be honest and its definitely a 'filler' as it were, keeping the story arc ticking over. If you were looking for answers regarding Sana Solo, I feel you maybe waiting a while.

The art overall was great, a few panels fell a little short, but not anything too bad.

The highlight of the story for me was the comparison that can be drawn between Luke looking for incognito travel options to Coruscant in a run-down Cantina full of non-desireables and him and 'Old Ben' doing the same in A New Hope

Join us soon for a review of the next Kanan instalment and thanks for reading.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
