The funny thing about this Shrimp Fried Riot strip is that neither Jesse nor I were really big Star Wars fans.
We were more comic book nerds.

Seriously, though, At that point, Shrimp Fried Riot wasn’t even a “thing” yet. The first strip was just something I drew to amuse Jesse.
It was borne out of being cut out of a project that I helped start, and, it wouldn't be the last time.
It almost wound up in a Bellingham, Washington based comics periodical called the "Bellingham Comics Bugle", but that didn’t happen “because issues“, and a clash of egos between the project runners.

I made up the name Shrimp Fried Riot on the spur of the moment for the sake of it having a title to be listed under, and retroactively added the "SFR" logo to the first strip.
Anyway, this one was actually made about a year later, again, to amuse Jesse.
It amuses me too, because I am WAY too cynical and misanthropic to be a proper Jedi. Even funnier is that with all the new movies, this strip is pop-culturally relevant again!
