3 STAR WARS THINGS HEREBY BANNED

3 Overused Star Wars Things
I Never Ever Want To See Again:
1) TWI'LEKS.
Bib Fortuna was creepy and Oola was exotic. Done. Now there's a Twi'lek in every shot and every single book, comic or video game. What was once one of the coolest aliens, is now an unwelcomed overused cliche. I never want to see another Twi'lek again.

2) SPEEDER BIKES.
They were cooler than fucking cool in Jedi, but now everyone has to have one in some form or another; Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Anakin and any character in a SW book, comic or video game.

3) BOBA FETT.
What made him cool was that he was mysterious! "Less is more" and "Too much of a good thing", and all that. Seriously, I never want to see or HEAR about him again.

With that said, I now expect to see a Twi'lek Mandalorian on a lame Speeder Bike in the upcoming Star Wars TV Show. It's been put out into the Collective Conscious and will incubate until it is time to surface and drive me into a raving mad fit of destruction.

The original image is of Boba Fett from the comic "Star Wars: Boba Fett: Overkill", a one-shot that came out this month. It had Fett riding a speeder bike which is what fueled the initial post. The comic was terrible and pissed me off. So I just photoshop'd a Twil'ek head (thank you google images!) onto Fett's body and moved the helmet down so he was holding it. And of course, added the "YOU SUCK!" word balloon, which I feel really tied the image together. :)
