Happy "This Is The May" to all y'all as we return to The Eternal Courtship for the final scenes of Princess Flurry Heart at the battle of Hoth...

The blaster bolts find their mark and the downed lead imperial walker erupts in a fiery blast, sending a shockwave through the arctic air.

Princess Flurry Heart and her Gunner, Muffin-top soar overhead to the resounding cheering of their comrades. For the Changeling grubs of the rebellion the fireball is a bombastic eruption of renewed hope. For the princess, this moment will last forever as the time they were heroes.

For Queen Chrysalis Sparkle, however, the exited squeals of her tiny royal niece and her own offspring is just further proof of what she has already known. She bares her fangs in a ear-to-ear grin. Without a doubt, she is the greatest aunt of all time. Here's to all y'all nerds out there, hoping you've a few memories of your own. With the trilogy complete, I hope y'all enjoy your "This is The May", Pony Princess, Big Mama Bughorse, Tiny l'il grub rebel, or whatever ya got.

I set out to create a 16bit looking remake of the Atari VCS version of The Empire Strikes Back, I imagined it as one of those ultra wide 1980s Taito arcade cabs (like Darius or The Ninja Warriors)! Painted in Pixaki on an iPad. 960*240 pixels

"TRAINED TO HANDLE EVERYTHING IN THE IMPERIAL GROUND ARSENAL..."

PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on behind-the-scenes shots of UK actors Paul Jericho and Ian Liston played the Imperial Walker pilots at Elstree Studio, UK, c. 1979

MINI-OVERVIEW: "The Empire’s combat drivers are trained to handle everything in the Imperial ground arsenal, but AT-AT pilots see themselves as elite, controlling their massive four-footed assault vehicles in combat against Rebel targets. While driving early models of their massive walking tanks, AT-AT pilots nearly annihilated the Ghost crew and three surviving clones on Seelos, and later obeyed General Veers’ orders during the Empire’s advance on Hoth’s Echo Base, destroying numerous snowspeeders and blasting apart the Rebels’ ground defenses."

Happy "May The Fourth Be With You" to all you wonderful nerds out there, Jedi, Sith and Scruffy-lookin' Nerf-herders alike. Enjoy a look-in on The Eternal Courtship as Princess Flurry Heart visits with her favorite aunts and royal cousins in New Canterlot.

The Rebel base on Hoth is under attack. They're facing heavy fire and it's up to Flurry Heart and her trusty gunner Muffin-top to buy them some time to escape.

Pink-5 is going in...

The odds are against them. The enemy is mighty and that armor is too strong for blasters but our heroes are brave and The Force is with them. They're going in fast and they've gotta think faster or the changeling rebels are done for... Tune in tomorrow for a look at the rest of the mission for Part2 "Revenge of The Fifth".
