toonsUp

The Official Star Wars Magazine started this contest in cooperation with toonsUp.com. The best contributions were presented to the universe in number #52 and #53 of the Official Star Wars Magazine.

If Darth Vader outs himself as Luke's mother, a lightsaber is misused as an immersion heater or the question is settled why the Rancor can't sleep without its teddy bear, the Midi-chlorians increase at the percipient automatically and the colorful side of the Force shakes the universe. The true life of our heroes and their opponents doesn't reveal itself on the big screen, but in small snapshots which a handful of brave space paparazzi make using all their mind and present to the clueless public after that. Here on Terra they disguise themselves as cartoonists, since Sith as well as Jedi are chasing them. The colorful side of the Force, dangerous it is!
Are you strong enough to bear it? Then prepare yourself for an attack of the clowns which will overtake the pages of this magazine soon!

A jury of wise Toon Masters will choose the most hair-raising art and present to the universe in number #52 of the Official Star Wars Magazine. The three most popular Star Wars toons will also be elected and awarded there. The prizes will be three times a JEDI-CON 2008 Toon shirts, a caricature of you by one of the toonsUp drawers and a OSWFC club subscription for each winner!
