Star Wars Episode VI:Return of the Jedi(1983 Film)40th Anniversary

[satureja13]

Now that Rubyn had all the parts together, The Boys couldn't wait to finally track down Tiny Can. So they got up at the crack of dawn and teleported back to the mundane world. To Rubyn's place: Mos Verdantis. And even though Ms Coombes said it should be safe to return, they made sure to land the TukTuk in the centre of the settlement and not at the entrance, where they could easily be spotted by the Council's myrmidons.

It was a warm welcome. Rubyn had accompanied the Boys during their adventures in Selvadorada almost a year ago (where they found Tiny Can...) and they are happy to be united again. The Boys also had been here before, when they celebrated the 40 year anniversary of 'Return of the Jedi' last year. When Jack returned from his coma. But Vlad and Jack are stunned over again by the Millennium Falcon and couldn't take their eyes off her.

Since they don't know how long it would take them to construct a device to find a trace from Tiny Can, Rubyn suggested they should stay overnight. Jack and Vlad are thrilled! This place is like paradise for them ^^' And then Jack spotted the tents Rubyn set up for them.

He ran over, Vlad in his wake. Jack: "Omg Vlad! We are going to sleep under the wings of the Millennium Falcon! I... I think I'm gonna faint." Even though the strain from teleporting the TukTuk full of his friends to the muggle world took it's toll on Vlad, he laughed at Jack's antics. And even though Ji Ho feels even more exhausted than Vlad, he smiled too. Nothing is more beautiful to him than Vlad laughing.

Sai is eager to finally get a grip on Tiny Can and wire that money back: "We should start right away. Vlad, take Ji Ho to your tent and rest. The others help unpacking and setting everything up." Vlad and Ji Ho don't have to let Sai know how drained they are. He can tell by just looking at them how awful they feel.

Reluctantly they entered their tent. Ji Ho thought maybe it's just him who suffers each time more after teleporting. Now he has his feelings back, everything is so much more intense. But the Bond told him Vlad is in the same wrecked contition. Ji Ho: "It gets worse." Vlad: "I will talk to Sai. We shouldn't teleport for a while and look if we can find a safe place here in the muggle world." Ji Ho: "Maybe because we didn't rest after the Council attacked us?" Vlad: "Maybe... We also went over our boundaries when we returned back home and searched for Tiny Can instead of resting. Let's sleep for a while. I.. uhm I will take care of you later, I need to recover first." Usually they have to have intense physical contact to recover. Ji Ho: "Eh. Don't worry. It's enough to be near you. It already gets better. We recover faster - but it gets more and more strenous - and demanding... I'm afraid the next time it will knock me out." Vlad is frantic. Again, Ji Ho has to suffer for the sake of their matters. Ji Ho felt Vlad's inner turmoil through their Bond. Ji Ho: "Vlad. Let's sleep for a while." And Vlad tried to relax, for Ji Ho's sake. (That was the longest conversation Ji Ho and Vlad ever had! They barely talk to each other. It's embarrassing since they know how the other feels through their Bond. So they usually keep their distance to each other.)

The others are busy setting up the devices. Sai tried to concentrate but he was worried. And he blames himself. He's putting his friends in jeopardy to find this damn piece of junk -who only was able to cause trouble because he allowed it! He cursed under his breath and redoubled his efforts. On the other hand, if they ended up in prison for stealing that money (wherever it might have come from) they wouldn't have to worry about teleporting anymore... or all the other stuff that hits them all the time.

Hours later, Jeb lit up the grill. Time to take a break, even if Sai would complain and urge them to keep going... It was a bit weird to barbecue on a discarded Astromech, though... Jeb sighed. He has the feeling he was going to need to show his bossy side again to stop Sai from overworking them. And then Sai would find that arousing - again -and that would lead them sooner or later to physical intimacy - again - and then Sai would want him to woohoo him but he can't do that because he doesn't want to hurt Sai... (Omg Jeb!)

They woke up Ji Ho and Vlad for dinner and it was good to see they felt a bit better. Jack came over, the tome from the Grim Reaper in his hands. Rubyn was curious and Jack explained. Jack: "The Grim Reaper approached us. He needs our help. I think it might be good to put in some effort to have him on our side, you know." Rubyn agreed. She had been with them at the temple when they received the distressing message from Future Jeb ö.Ö' Telling them to stay together - or something bad would happn...

After Jack saw how awful Vlad and Ji Ho felt, he was more determined than ever to continue his errands for the Grim Reaper to appease him. He didn't even touch his food...

Didn't Wanna Feel Old in 2023? Sucks to be You!

Happy 2023 everybody! It's a new year meaning I've got new goals to meet. Goals like finally publishing something, setting up commissions so people can pay me to do what I love, cross-posting between my account here and on deviantART, summoning more kaijus just so they can play elaborate games of poker, y'know, all that good stuff. It also means the return of my 'list of things that have reached a milestone anniversary' list. However, it seems like I've been doing this for so long that these lists have in fact reached their own milestone. From what I could tell, this is the fifth year of my doing this, at least on deviantART. If that doesn't make you feel right from the gate, I present the following:

If I don't mention this my buddy Volts48 won't let me rest; the highly influential sci-fi movie Metropolis turns 100 years old this year, meaning it is now in the public domain. I plan to take full advantage of this fact later, but for now I have the rest of this list to get to...

Return For The 40th

My favorite time is here and once again to contribute to my favorite movie of the franchise: Return of the Jedi among it's 40 anniversary!

And what better way of doing so then with another Sponge Wars poster!

Of course I've come a long way to make this to even try improving the skill (In fact it's not the first time I made a picture of it) And just like before Less Star Wars and more SpongeBob!

Comes with an included list:

The Title was (Of course) originally called "Return of the Sponge" but ever since the concept changed, so does the title, (That and it was too 'On the Nose' if it were a parody)

It went through several changes like "Requite of the Sponge", "Comeback of the Sponge" or "The Sponge Returns" To me None of them work. It wasn't until by accident I looked for definition of Sponge and consider as a cleaning tool "Rinse" seem like a funny idea that it actually works

The story for this After SparkBob defeat in the second story, He goes out to battle in His Way, with only his friends trust, and beliefs is the real source of defeating the empire

What also given is a twist where everything in the end is not what it suppose to be.

Another twist to the story of by the major concept to be like almost a remake crossover in a sense. Yes it's mainly "Star Wars made like a SpongeBob cartoon" But what I give additional concept from other movies like the Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker

What even also give the idea of making SparkBob special is to fight in peaceful and (yet Goofy) way (Think like Anakin if he were to go rouge but in a good way) it's even hinted with the Lightsaber now turn to a spatula (Inspired by the episode: All that Glitters)

Dark Scuba get another upgraded armor as he's now crowned in command by the evil Emperor Planktine (and yes it really Plankton)

Pat and Sandia Still don't have a romance but instead is to trust one another ideas even if they are good or bad.

The Battle of Endor is taken place in the Kelp Forest and all the Ewoks are cloaked Sea Bears, now called "Seawoks"

Ms Puff also takes more the 3 roles, mainly as Boba Fett, but also Mon Mothma (in the style of Finn from the Force Awakens) and a bit of Nien Nunb as the weapon expert to fight the empire.

The "Full" role of Nien Numb is actually given to Pearl, who was originally was suppose to be Mon, But her teenage personality seem more suited as the copilot in the Millennium Patty

Unlike the 2nd Death Star which is the same weapon but unfinished, This weapon is now the "Dented Bucket" which is like the Chum Bucket with a laser coming out of the glove (Along with a rusted exterior to give it the similarity)

For Jabba the Hutt territory was given to more of a comical turnover

Bubble bass is Playing the role, but also Lazy as to not even change his name. All the other member are played out as "Comic Book geeks at a major hangout" house party Including familiar faces like Flats the Flounder, and Johnny Shark. The palace itself is taken place in his basement of his Mother's house, and The Rancor is Literally his Mother!

40 Great Return of the Jedi Moments For Its 40th Anniversary

Screenshot: Lucasfilm God bless you Crix Madine, for providing generations of action figures of politicians, diplomats, officers, and other general non-combatant Star Wars characters the gift of the ur-accessory when you can’t just give them a blaster. What is the stick for? Who knows, but Kenner and Hasbro certainly don’t mind it all these years later.

I did say this it was the anniversary of empire strikes back and it is 40 years old back then like 10 years ago and it's an incredible series and we are enlivening it and we're going to advertise that the dark side is glamorous and it has things for you nothing make you feel like it'll make it and it does things for you and my friend says it's kind of like Trump he's in there and he has had businesses and people in there and it's not Max so I do see what he's saying he's got some sort of rubble Force and might be leaving us because just tired and Ernie was tired and said I can't do it anymore I don't have anybody except him and he's the other side and he'll probably destroy everybody all my friends I don't care if Matt goes first so I get to get out of here that's what he said I really feel for my friend they're way of life is much better this is terrifying it's terrible there's too many gross people and it's getting worse too many people who don't know a damn thing about anything and I understand people's point of view but there's got to be a point where society has to has to exist tell me after someone pushing their buttons you can't stop either one and he said the solution could have been different but Mac couldn't put it out there and they couldn't get them to go after the matrix and he had me seeing it now it's getting beat up and we do see that and it kind of ruined them all and it ruined stan. It ruins him because the army of warlock were destroyed by it and he lost an ally and he says it too very mean mean people these Tommy f so here's my statement about Star wars it's an educational film series it teaches people about space and what's going on it tells people about common events and current events these things are happening all the time ships are everywhere and people don't know it the costumes are real the genre is real and we really need you to sign on if you're a regular person and I mean it too we don't have that many people and I need foreigners to sign on to see what it's all about because you're not exactly rebelling and as soon as you can I have The shield is going up and it's one thing to be concerned about and it's something that India China Pakistan Thailand and the Philippines and Malaysia and others that are nearby should be looking at you in Japan because of the affected shortly and South America and South Africa New Zealand of course but those country people should be doing studies they say they are and they realize it's a problem and then the empire will be targeting you so we're running out of time and we just want to say hello and this is Harrison Ford and everybody be safe out there and have a great day and Stan you'll be remembered for trying
