Fun one. Going to be interesting to follow the lightsaber thread and see if they wait until the very last minute to take it away and explain it or if they address it later. I assume there will be lots of no-prizes about it and hope you monitor the letters page for those.

Better than the hyperspace Mjolnr option…
1. Rob does’nt know much about star wars be gentle
2. I liked JAXXON AS a kid
2a I figure a RABBIT May work in regular star wars…
3 A Green Rabbit says Marvel comics!
4. it’s not the Marvel UNIVERSE But it IS the Marvel multiverse the visable spectrum works differntly a LOT MORE GREEN (LIKE PINK IN THE TREK TOON)
