A long time ago in a... well... galaxy full of ducks and mice

Hello there!

How should we celebrate Star Wars Day? Uhm... what about a ride along some italian Disney "parodies" of Star Wars? And I use quotation marks 'cause, it'll probably surprise you but, as of today, there is no real Disney parody of Star Wars.

There are, though, many stories that draw inspiration from some elements of Lucas' saga, starting from "Topolino e la spada di ghiaccio" (1984) amazing fantasy saga by Massimo de Vita that has nothing to do with Star Wars but gives us the first Disney character whose design's been heavily inspired by Darth Vader: the evil Prince of Mists!

The nefarious Prince of Mists from "Topolino e la spada di ghiaccio".

Scattered throughout the years there are many other stories inspired by Star Wars from Silvia Ziche's Topokolossal (1997):

Mickey Skyrunner weilds his legendary catalytic baguette as he faces off Pietro Galactus.

up to "Paperoga eroe dello spazio" (2013) a splendid, touching story by Roberto Gagnor and Claudio Sciarrone that culminates in one of the best plot twists ever on Topolino's pages (this story is the dream of any Galactic Empire fan ❤️).

Easy, Gorgius "heir" to Behlpost's throne... who do you think you are? Luke Skywalker? (Spoiler: you're not).

You may call it Behlpost, but that's Naboo royal palace for sure... with imperial guards as it seems 😁 (or are they forerunners of Operation Cinder sentinels? 🤔).

The only story (well, saga actually) that comes the most close to a real parody is Giorgio Pezzin's "Topolino e i signori della Galassia" (1991) which draws heavily inspiration from Star Wars expecially in the second episode.

The main character of this story is Goofy, who finds out to have inherited special powers from some old relative. Powers that make him the only one able to help the Galactic Confederation in their struggles against robots named "the Metals" led by general Titanio who seeks to eradicate every biological life form from the galaxy.

Jeez, Titanio's soldiers may be robots but their aim is as bad as Stormtroopers'... 🤣🤣

That's definitely the Battle of Hoth.

I know for sure there are also Star Wars inspired stories starring Josè Carioca out there, and McGreals' "May the farce be with you" (2005), but, unfortunately, I never had the chance to read them 'cause they've never been published in Italy.

But today's biggest obstacle to a Star Wars parody is Disney's auto-censorship. Yes, 'cause there's a strict rule at Disney that forbids authors to write parodies of other Disney franchises... so any parody of Star Wars (and Marvel) it's a very loud no-no. Sad :'(

We do know, though, that there are at least three finished legit parodies that never saw the light of day. One by Francesco Artibani that was supposed to be published on Topolino and two made-in-Egmont drawn by Cavazzano and Freccero.

Of the latter we can appreciate a beautiful illustration and a single page thanks to Freccero sharing them online a few years ago:

Alas, unless Disney change their internal directives (and there's no way it's gonna happen anytime soon) we'll never get the chance to see these or any other Star Wars inspired story in the near future.

But we can sure appreciate the older ones and if you wanna indulge yourself in something different today... these are the stories you're looking for ;)

May the Force be with you!

(And LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!!! 💪)

Fethry Duck with their girlfriends plus his nephew - Duck comics and Quack Pack AU

Just as Donald and Gladstone have multiple girlfriends, so does Fethry Duck. Yes, even though it has passed, I certainly wish Fethry Duck a happy birthday! And I actually drew about it.

Fethry Duck is Donald's cousin and Abner's brother, who is constantly changing jobs and hobbies and is very clumsy in his jobs and in his actions. But he likes to help. In any case, Fethry also has her girlfriends. The first is called Gloria Pascoalina, who is a passionate hippie, but a good soul at rest. Sometimes she doesn't like it when Fethry blows up her work. In any case, they agree very well. And that Gloria mostly appears in Brazilian comics under the name Glorinha. And Fethry Duck wears a yellow sweater in those comics. Gloria first appears in the comic "Paz, Amor e Gloria" from 1972. And yes, as you can see, she is wearing hippie clothes.

The other girl on Fethry's other side is called Bijou and she is a princess of a planet and she appeared in the 2013 comic "Paperoga eroe dello spazio". Yes, the writer is Roberto Gagnor and the artist is Claudio Sciarrone. Yes, that comic is partly a parody of Star Wars. Anyway Fethry falls in love with Bijou and saves her life and fought in the arena for her. However, because of the different worlds, they could not find each other in the end, but they did not forget about each other. Of course, they can be found together, but rarely. For Bijou, I drew a likeness in the comics, with definitely some of the anime eyes that she has.

Yes, there is of course Fethry's mischievous nephew Dugan Duck who he doesn't like. Yes, Dugan often defies his uncle, but in the end, both Uncle Fethry and Nephew Dugan end up getting along well. Dugan often hangs out with Donald's nephews, even though he is several years younger than them.

Yes, similar to Gladstone and in my Quack Pack AU I put Fethry Duck as having two girlfriends, only Bijou is harder to talk to than Gloria whom he sees often. Yes, Fethry Duck wears a hoodie jacket, but sometimes a traditional sweater and often changes jobs and annoys his cousin Donald and sometimes his brother Abner. However, he likes to help, and the hardest thing for him is raising his nephew. Someday, Dugan will learn how to listen to his uncle. Anyway, I love both pairings, both Fethry with Gloria and Fethry with Bijou. Poor Dugan he doesn't like that. And yes, Fethry Duck is definitely part of my Quack Pack AU as shown in the drawing that didn't turn out very well. Sorry about that.

I hope you like this drawing and please don't attack me for this, I respect all pairings that make sense.

Da qualche giorno è iniziato Luglio, che, ci preme ricordare, è il Disability Pride Month.

Dagli anni '90 Topolino si è interessato all'inclusione di persone con disabilità nelle sue storie. L'occasione più recente è stata il personaggio di Ray, introdotto nella serie "Area 15", con testi di Roberto Gagnor e disegni di Claudio Sciarrone.

(vignette tratte da: "Area 15 - Qui, Quo, Qua - Il potente e grandioso club!" di Gagnor e Sciarrone, I TL3355-2; "Topolino e l'uomo dei sogni" di Panaro e Perina, I TL 2109-2; "Le Giovani Marmotte e un ragazzo come tutti" di Corteggiani e Cavazzano, I GM 9-1)
