As such, I didn&#8217;t do the requisite research, which would have revealed to me that Jedi <a href=\"http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/Padawan\">Padawan<\/a> only have one braid. Would two braids mean that this guy skipped a grade? Or was held back? <i>Man<\/i>, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, flash forward to the present&#8230; I colored this particular Melmacian with dark skin and sun-bleached fur so that he would look distinct from ALF. I mean come on folks, a Melmacian Jedi is one thing, but it&#8217;s just plain laughable to think that Gordon Shumway would become a Jedi. For starters, the Star Wars movies took place in the past, so we don&#8217;t even know if Jedi exist in the present. And second, it seems highly unlikely that Gordon would have the discipline to become a Jedi. I&#8217;m just saying.<\/p>\n<p>Ahem. The background was cobbled together purely in Photoshop with some digital smoke and mirrors. You know&#8211;cheap parlor tricks. However, I think it more or less works, and adds some appropriate atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, all I can say is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ha! I kill me!<\/p>\n<p>You see, because that was ALF&#8217;s catchphrase&#8230; I should just go now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>WAIT A MINUTE, this is MY blog! Why don&#8217;t YOU go!?<\/p>\n<p>Wait, I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t mean it&#8211;I want you to stay and take a look around.
