They were actually based on the shipping crate loading cranes you can see along the docks in Oakland. The TIE's are based on the two plane catamaran's that sail around the bay too. Lucas used to spend a lot of time just hanging out on the shore.
I don't normally post on forum sites... but this one was worth it. Panel 3, my new favorite basicinstructions panel of all time- I totally didn't see that coming. Nicely done.
'Unless there's a battle in some snowy environment.' 'What are the odds for that?' nice, Scott. Very nice. Do you live near Nebraska? There's this fluffy white crap that falls from the sky this time of year, and i don't know what the f*ck it is . . . .

IMPOSSIBLE! Unless they use a rope. - Awesome.
I don't know, Your ideas have the tendencies to be really dangerous...
great comic!
Of course, elephants with guns are most powerful when supported by chickens... with guns.
Which is exactly why they won at the battle of Hoth.
Gentlemen, what is the second most deadly animal?
That's right, a chicken with a gun!
oh and giant floating triangles! Can't forget about the giant floating triangles.
Which is why they were defeated on the forest moon of Endor

True story.
Priceless. This will strike fear - fear and awkwardness - into our enemies.
Why didn't they put this in the Trilogy? It makes me feel all warm inside.
Brilliant! This is going to be one of my all-time favourites ...
Best strip ever. Looking forward to seeing this scene in The Empire Strikes Back - Director's Cut.
Make the soldiers armor white. "That way all the fire will be drawn away from us."
That makes SO much sense, now.

In all seriousness, I think the most dangerous animal is the mosquito -- for spreading malaria. But I wouldn't base a weapon on it.
