(written by Dewitt now of the Residudes), and "Drink When I Think" and "Rolling" (both co-written with Chip Evans).

Star Wars: Empire

Star Wars Empire: "General" Skywalker is a two-part story arc in the Star Wars: Empire series of comic books written by Ron Marz.

Tataouine Governorate

This is where George Lucas filmed part of Star Wars, and the city eventually influenced the naming of the home planet of the Skywalker family (Tatooine).

ToyFare

An example would be "Ask Anakin Skywalker, Burning in Lava" (a reference to the character's horrific fate at the end of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith); all of Skywalker's responses were non-sequiturs, primarily cries of pain and lamentations about his fall from grace.

X-Bomber

Two of the English voice actors, Jay Benedict and Garrick Hagon, had appeared in Star Wars (1977) portraying Deak and Biggs, two of Luke Skywalker's friends on Tatooine (though Hagon's role was reduced in editing and Benedict's scenes were cut altogether).

Yavin

With seconds remaining before the moon was to be destroyed, Luke Skywalker, thanks to the timely assistance of his friend Han Solo and the ghostly advice of Obi-Wan Kenobi to use The Force, was able to fire proton torpedoes into a small thermal exhaust port along the Death Star's equatorial trench, thereby destroying the station and saving Yavin 4 from destruction.
