A Star Wars fan comic called Skate Wars. Panel 1: A skate park floating in the sky. Panel 2: A closer view of the park showing two skaters moving through a giant tube that ends with a drop into an open funnel filled with sharp circular saws. The title of the comic says, "Skate Wars: The Empire Does a Sick Kickflip."
Panel 3: Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker skate around the giant tube. Panel 4: Luke's skateboard is basically vertical as he slides down the wall of the tube. Panel 5: A close-up of Luke's scared face as he slides with tears coming out of his eyes.
Panel 6: Luke turns his skateboard in order to slow his descent. Panel 7: Luke leans back to slow down further. Panel 8: Luke comes to a stop on his back just at the edge of the tunnel. Panel 9: Luke has started to climb down a ladder into the razor-filled funnel with his board between his legs. He looks down at the razors.
Panel 10: Luke squeezes his eyes and more tears leak out. He says, "It was all a big lie! I wish Ahsoka was here..." Panel 11: A highway full of traffic. Lots of honking cars. A sign on the side of the road says, "Cloud City. 25 miles." Panel 12: Ahsoka is driving with Obi-Wan next to her. Obi-Wan rolls his eyes and says, "Should have taken the 601 to Cloud City..." Panel 13: Ahsoka grits her teeth and says, "Give. It. A. Rest. You. Old. Shart." Yoda is sitting in a car seat behind her.
Panel 14: Darth Vader holds out his hand and says, "Luke, it is your destiny to sign with Empire. If you just say yes on camera—" Panel 15: Luke turns while holding onto the ladder to see a drone with a camera hovering behind him. Panel 16: The camera films Luke saying, "I'll never sell out like you!" Panel 17: The camera films Darth Vader saying, "I had no choice! And neither do you!" Panel 18: Luke looks angrily up at his father. Panel 19: Luke lets go of the ladder and falls into the funnel full of razors.
Panel 20: Vader yells, "No! You're not experienced enough!" Panel 21: Luke skates down the funnel. Panel 22: Luke ollies over a razor, but does not stick the landing. Panel 23: Luke is sliding down the funnel while his board gets away from him. Panel 24: Luke's skateboard circles around the end of the funnel. Panel 25: Luke's board disappears into the end of the funnel with a "plop!"
Panel 26: The Millennium Falcon as a station wagon is pursuing Boba Fett's car. Leia yells from inside the station wagon, "Wait! Luke's in trouble!" Panel 27: Leia's leg kicks open the passenger door of the station wagon with a "Bang!" Panel 28: Leia rolls out of the passenger side of the car.
Panel 29: Leia slaps someone away from a bicycle as they yell, "My bike!" Lando yells from the car, "Leia, no!" Panel 30: Leia says, "Leia yes!" Panels 31 and 32: Leia flips with the bike into the funnel.
Panel 33: A bird's eye view of Vader on the edge of the funnel and Luke sliding further into the funnel. Panel 34: Luke looks behind him and sees that he's sliding closer to a razor. Panel 35: Luke slides closer to the razor. Panel 36: An arm flies off into the air in front of the razor. Panel 37: Vader screams. Panel 38: Leia on the bike jumps over Vader into the funnel. Panel 39: Leia stops her bike between Luke and the razor.
Panel 40: Vader yells at the twins, "His hand! Say yes on camera and I can take you to a doctor!" Panel 41: Luke says, "I was born without a hand. That was my prosthetic..." Panel 42: Vader says, "You were born without...?" Panel 43: Leia smirks as she helps Luke stand up and says, "You really didn't know?" Panel 44: Leia says, "God, you really are the Lasership of Dads." Panel 45: Luke leans on Leia as she leads him out of the funnel. Leia says, "Come on, Luke. I'll save my 'told you so' for the car."
