Title: Vader's Quest Chapter 6 "Black Hole Sun"
Post by: jlw515 on March 28, 2012, 12:09:40 PM
This chapter grew out of "deleted scenes" from a previous chapter which were originally just scenes to work in my customs of Guri and Snoova. From there I wrote an entire chapter to actually focus on these characters. I was working on another chapter I was going to publish before this one entitled "The Gambler" which was going to be the story of how Lando acquired Cloud City; but it didn't add really anything to the entire story, and it's kind of a pain in the butt to produce each chapter. So, since it didn't actually add to the total story I scrapped it totally. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter of Vader's Quest "Black Hole Sun" (yes the title is a homage to the Soundgarden song - one of the few Soundgarden songs I like; I'm more of a Rage Against the Machine fan myself!)

CLASS! CLASS! CLASS! CLASS!

Jason, you make playing with toys look almost grown up  ;D . I've loved Star Wars since I was a 7-year old kid, and although I still can't figure out why I'm still into it all and why I spend my free time "playing" with figures and creating stories for them, seeing your work puts it all into perspective! BECAUSE IT'S FUN AND WHO GIVES A CRAP!

Your photo-novel is a compelling read as your dialogue is sooo Star Wars. Your dioramas and images are a feast for the eyes, there is so much to enjoy about your creative work.

Straight on the front page!

I love it!  These graphic fiction novels are always great, but this one in particular catches my eye; I love the classic setting.  It really captures the feel of the classic era while injecting the weird goodness of the EU!
Can't wait to see the next chapter!

Thanks! I really couldn't tell you how long it takes to make a chapter. Too long, I would say. I worked on that Star Destroyer diorama for quite some time. Hopefully, I once I get some appointments out of the way, I will have more time to work on Chapter 7 "Acts of Treason"
