We all are the heroes of our own stories.   So what does that make our friends?   Our loyal sidekicks of course.   But if they are the heroes of their own stories, does that make us their sidekicks?   It’s a bit confusing.   So today’s High 5 is a salute to the sidekicks and second fiddles out there that don’t have identity issues.   They are there to support our lovable protagonists and put their own interests aside for the sake of their friend’s goals.   So here we go, these are the people I want riding shotgun if I have to step up and save the world … or solve a crime … or find a way to get reasonable prices on Red Sox tickets (If I even wanted to see a 5^th place team in person).

I hadn’t come across this riffage of Luke Skywalker by Paul Pope for  Star Wars Art: Comics, despite the fact that I’m pretty sure Rendar owns the book. Oh well! Better later than never. God bless The Pope, and that intersection between talented artist and childhood staples.

Now, the question begins: do I shirk gender roles and buy this shit for myself, or buy it and beg my girlfriend into wearing it? (To be fair she’d be down like the clown for this.)

Hit the jump to check it out.

Oh golly gosh! A new Star Wars  project is coming, tipped off courtesy of some blunt-force domain registrations. Just what is Star Wars 1313? More money for the Fuck Face.

Not only am I the Dude, but I’m also A dude.   Like most males that are stuffed with testosterone and swagger like pirate god kings I love violence.   Let me be a bit more specific, I like the idea of violence.   I’d rather see it done in a movie or on a TV show in real life.   Better yet, I’d rather be the one doing the violence in a video game.   Today’s High 5 will look at the tools of the trade.   These are the weapons I’d want to wield if I was about to run through the streets on an anger fueled GTA killing spree (Probably in Salem, MA … driving in that city is aggravating).

I suppose with a name like Obi Wan Kenobi, you shouldn’t expect a chap to be the most stable person in the world. Right?

Here’s a flew of storyboards for Return of the Jedi done by artist  David Russell. They come from an exclusive interview over at The Movie Blog, and they’re some dark shit, and definitely echo the more serious currents of the flick. You know, when George Lucas wasn’t having his primitive-compared-to-teddy-bears overthrowing an Empire moments.

Gorgeous stuff.

Check out this relaxin’ clone of Jango Fett. Yeah, sorry man. Went there. He’s seen some shit in his day, and he’s also the only Stormtrooper to not  eat an errant blaster bolt. Now he unwinds getting shitfaced on margaritas and talking about all his bros that he has left behind. Towards the end of the evening he pukes into his helmet, snot running out of his mouth and vomit out of his nose. Continually he apologizes, telling us he just gets so damned lonely, and space isn’t the only place that’s cold.

…Not even giving a measure of a fuck  with the cheesy headlines today. Behold this Star Wars  organ that churns out the movie’s theme with haunting goofiness.
