The following picture is from the first thing I ever published, a book I made in 2nd grade. (It won some kind of state award, I remember) I found this book in my closet and had to chuckle.

For those who can't see it well, it shows two ships, the Enterprise and the Tantive IV. The Enterprise is saying "Enterprise to Tantive IV", to which the Tantive is replying "I copy".

It's kinda cute, just thought I'd share it with you all.

You knew the name Tantive IV in 2nd grade? Back then I just called it "that spaceship that was shooting at the other spaceship."

I read a lot of SW books. I actually read the ANH Novelization before I saw the movie. Then I read a bunch more books (my elementry school liberian loved SW, I guess, cause there was a big-ass section devoted just to SW books n stuff), and uhh, I guess it went from there.

Hahahahaha that reminded me of Madoxx and something he wrote about primary school kid drawings.


Sorry if I offended you, didn't want to be mean.

Oh, no offense taken. I never was good at drawing, I know that. Writing comes easy, making the illustrations are a pain in the ass.

Comet Hale-Bopp???

Duh, the Enterprise is escorting Marshall Applewhite to beyond the Outer Rim.

LMAO!!

I think I was actually trying to spell "Hailey's Comet", with a "bopp" on the end...

I wish I kept some of my old drawings around. I remember drawing the Battle of Yavin incessatntly for years because I learned hot to draw the back of an X-wing (big X with four red dots where the engines should be) and a TIE fighter coulf be drawn by a retard. When I discovered colored markers it became ridiculous with red bolts, green bolts, red colored X-Wing engines, what fun....sigh.

I remember when Jedi was about to come out I drew a picture of what I thought Jabba and his palace would look like. If I remember correctly, I made him look more like Max Reebo.

I use to draw really retarded pictures of the Power Rangers and big, huge battles with TIEs, X-Wings, and one Star Destroyer.

Now I'm trying to teach myself how to draw for real, and it's much, much harder.

Even if you have someone teach you its difficult, just remeber use the right side of your brain not the left.

Oh, yes the childhood doodlings. I would actually make enterprises out of torn strips of paper. I was so fucking analyitical at age 5 that I would make the nil, A, and D actually look different, and sometimes lable them. Of course, they never talked to each other like yours did, in fact they didn't do much of anything, they just were.
I was much more into ST at that age, you won't find anything SW until my later elementary years. I had this one drawing of a big starfighter battle inside the DS2, with the reactor core, falcon, a-wings, interceptors, x-wings, y-wings, and of course lots of little pencil lines between them.
Sometimes the battle would sort of occur as i drew. I'd draw a few ships, dashed lines between them, then scribble out some of them in pencil explosions, and do it all again on top of that.
And, of course, you have to consider my countless attempts to remember what a ship looked like and draw orthographic views of it. Gonna go see if I have anypics lying around to scan.

There really is a comet named Hale-Bopp or similar. I've seen it. I don't recall it crashing into the moon, though.

Is that flying drumstick the Tantive IV? I remember when I used to draw like that. I've yet to learn to draw right.

I built the Enterprise-D with those giant legos and I labeled each block, sickbay, bridge, engineering, etc.

Clearly you are a prophet!

heh, You did that too? I made these nice, fantastic looking ships, just sort of lazily floating along, some going in the opposite direction, all well and nicely made. Then, lines would come out of nowhere and explosions would take place.

I swear, I had the dumbest fighter pilots and ship captains ever. They just sat there shooting at whoever was in front of them, never trying to dodge or anything. Wierd, I tell you.

I know a lot of people who did that. We even would face off in mock drawing battles to see who could make the biggest and baddest explosions.

I was drawing ISD's blowing up the Enterprise in 1977-78. The ISD was easy, and the Enterprise was easy because it had parts blown off!

LOL, looks like coming here was like a breast of fresh ass, I mean breath of fresh air, for ya..

No moon crash, but pretty close, astronomically speaking.

Me too. We rock.

I made noises while drawing too. ::peshewoooo:: ::pkkkkrrrrrr::

Heh, when I am bored in class I use to doodle stardestroyers and guns, maybe a little battle here and there
Its a habit, I've done it since first grade

EDIT: I also used to make Borg vs Stardestroyers battles.

Ahhh, Nostalgia.
