Sith Colors Don't Run

I came up with this story a while back. It's basically two guys talking in the Sith Academy on Korriban. The premise is that if the academy is a school, there's bound to be roomates who discuss odd topics, ala Gary and me. I have several story ideas set in the Star Wars Universe as it lends itself to additions very well. The only thing I like about this comic, though, is possibly the script. Other than that, what you see is not how I intended it to look. As I've said elsewhere, everything past the penciling stage went downhill.                                      Enjoy if you can and thanks for reading,                                                           Hai Pham

Commentary: - All locales and costumes are based on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game. - The game takes place 4000 years before the movies, so that's where this story takes place too. PAGE 1 - I like to start the story like how all Star Wars stories start: with a scene of a planet or a ship in space. - I like to start stories on seemingly unrelated events, such as this sith entering the academy. - I have other stories in mind for him, explaining what he's reading, as well as for the sith guard standing outside. PAGE 2 - In the script, I refer to these guys as Zak and Kaz. Creative, isn't it? - Zak is wearing a sith apprentice outfit and Kaz wears a sith student outfit. Zak has his hood and mask down, as he's relaxed. - They're my archetype comedian and straight man and I hope to use them in other talking head stories. - In the game, each student gets his own alcove, but I put two beds in here to make them roomies. PAGE 3 - I'm not a big enough fanboy to know why sith have red lightsabers in the Star Wars Universe so I made up a reason. - Characters asking questions about their fictional, stylized world is always good. PAGE 4 - Very like dormroom conversations. PAGE 5 - Sith have to hate Jedi for a reason, don't they? - I had more dialogue written where they riff on Master Kor some more before he actually shows up, but it was too long. - I had more dialogue for Kor as well, where gives a big lecture on how and why their lightsabers are red. PAGE 6 - I wanted Master Kor to look as dead as he could look. - The markings on his head are based on similar markings on the boss of Knights of the Old Republic. - Kor has the same shadow under his brow as everyone else, but notice how his eyes are not affected. - Notice how all of a sudden Zak has a lightsaber for Kor to force-get. - Notice how I was so sick of making this at this point that I don't care. PAGE 7 - What Kor talks about here is speculation. I mean, it makes sense, seeing how hot the lightsaber must be. - I like to call the look Zak and Kaz give each other as the "We are screwed" look. - I'm such a geek. PAGE 8 - It's a pretty obvious ending. I mean, you can't expect much else to happen to Zak. - Again, I made all this up because I don't know why red is the evil color, and neither does Kor, it seems.
