Hawkman and Luke Skywalker

 


When Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this blog, suggested crossing Hawkman over with the Star Wars universe, I had to go back and check because I figured I must have done that before.  Alas, I had not, so it was high time to correct that.  I imagine that Thanagarians are not big fans of The Empire.

    Having an Absorbicon should make it a very interesting battle of wills in dealing with the force(s)! Great concept.

    Actually, I could see the Thanagarians of the 'Invasion' era (when they were decidedly facistic) being PRO-Empire. They're Human enough that they wouldn't have been subjected to the Empire's anti-nonhuman prejudice, after all...

      But, how would they have regarded the Kree and the Shiar Empires? As non-humans due to their blue skin and avian descent, respectively? Or would those simply be pretexts for eliminating unwanted rival monarchies?

      Given their bluish-colored skin and Marvel/Disney's ownership of 20th Century Fox, the Skytri people could probably be ret-conned as Kree/Shi'ar mixed-bloods!

    And Hawkman probably won't think much of Imperialist-sympathizing Skytri people, either.

    With Thanagar in the Milky Way Galaxy and the events of Star Wars taking place "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away," I can only imagine that this is an ancestor (or earlier incarnation) of Carter Hall, having traveled all this way on behalf of his people out of concern that Palpatine could try to expand his reach beyond the confines of his own galaxy.

    The real question is, has there been a Green Lantern ring ever given to a Star Wars character? Thinking about it here, and if we disqualify Jedi and their Force-using allies, I think the most likely candidate would be Bo-Katan (with Din Djaran a close second).

    YOU COULD FIND ROOM TO PUT R2D2 ON THE COVER BUT NOT HAWKMAN'S WIFE? I THINK SHE IS TALL ENOUGH TO SEE OVER R2'S TRASH CAN BODY-ON- STILTS.

      Maybe that's exactly why Hawkman has journeyed to the GFFA! She was abducted to Coruscant by her and Katar's old foe (and renegade fellow Thanagarian) Byth! The latter now working for Palpatine and Vader as a metamorphic mercenary.

      @Anon708: and maybe that's what drew Adam Strange to the GFFA back in STF #3006. He was lending a hand to Hawkman!

    How about Darkseid vs. the Emperor? That'd be a hell of a battle.

      See STF #2490 (via the Darkseid search link).

    R2's trash can body-on-stilts with Oscar The Grouch vs Pixie & Dixie with Mr. Jinx vs Stilt-Man (another trash can body).

    The Royal Flush Gang vs Top Cat's gang.

      With the police officers of Cat Precinct caught in the middle?
