    I left much later than usual due to relatives showing up for breakfast. Thankfully, my first panel didn't start till at least 11:30AM. It was the IDW Comic Artists panel. They talk about their experience on My Little Pony the Comic series, and any advice they gave is all about how to be a better artist. Interestingly, they all have used a Wacom Cintiq(Which I own)
     
    Also, during that panel, a mother and her son talked to the panelists. Her son, who has autism, had problems connecting with his mother till My Little Pony came out. I was able to relate to them(since I also have Autism, though it is mild) and I took a picture of the duo.
     
    Then came the Voice Actor Panel(Which switched places with the Charity Auction because Nicole had to take off on her plane afterwards). Tabitha couldn't make it because she came down with something bad. But still, it was fun to see the voice cast one last time before sending them on their way.
     
    I wandered around for a bit before checking out the Charity Auction just for laughs. Kelly did show up to help with stuff. But some of the auctions did get tense. Rarely do auctions go above $100. I didn't make any bids. I just watched for the heck of it.
     
    Finally, after the closing ceremonies(And a final farewell to Kelly "Starlight" Sheridan), the Feedback panel. I asked if they would consider showing episodes of MLP in a future convention. It's possible, but they have to acquire the legal rights from Hasbro to do so. Following the question, I bid farewell to the Con.
     
    And now that that's done, my purchases:
    One Pacific Ponycon T-Shirt
    A set of MLP Cards
    and 3 Buttons(Tirek, Ganondorf and Cloud Strife)
     
    With that, my Pacific Ponycon talkback is over. Later on, I'll showcase the 4 drawings I gave to Tabitha, Nicole and Kelly.(One for each, and one for all three)

    Today marks the first of three days at the small and simple San Diego Comic Fest, having returned back to its old home at the Town and Country Hotel and Convention center.  Most of the morning was spent doing some random drawing, but I was able to attend a few panels.  Examples include
    1) Two Back-to-back panels involving Frankenstein(Including Previews and One Shot Specials)
    2) A Spotlight on Lalo Alcaraz: A CArtoonist who's known for his political artwork, as well as his contributions on Disney and Pixar's Coco
    3) John Semper: A writer from SPider-man the Animated Series and is also working on DC's Cyborg
    4) The whole Comics-to-CArtoons panel, which also talk about Spider-Man and the X-MEn, as well as why Comics and Cartoons are two different beasts.
    Before my day ended, I wound up helping an elderly lady by opening a door for her.  She thanked me, and I later found out she was Sara Karloff, daughter of Boris Karloff.
     
    Tomorrow is day 2, and there's an important panel at 10AM.

    SMASH WATCH

    By SaburoDaimando,

    For those of you who don't visit my Youtube Channel, I'm going to be doing these videos that talk about Smash Bros Ultimate.  What I will talk about the most are the newcomers to the series.  
     
    I did this video last week that talks about the initial characters that have been announced.  Which includes every character from the first four Smash Bros, plus newcomers Inkling, Daisy and Ridley.
    When a newcomer is announced, I will put up the words "UH-OH(Warning: New Challenger Approaches!!)!"  But if its a guest character, I'll have to think up some new and unique quote.

    In the next few days, I will be going downtown to attend the San Diego Comic-Con.  I've been doing this since 1999, and yes, I know ticket prices have gone up compared to years past.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it got up to $300 next year.
    However, before I talk about Comic-Con, lemme talk to you about my experience at this year's Wondercon.
    Unlike Comic-Con, Wondercon is a much smaller venue.  Furthermore, it's located up in Anaheim, right next to Disneyland.  I went up there with my dad on April 1st after my brother got me and him a Saturday pass each.  
    There were only two panels I checked out.  One is called "Quick Draw."  This is where a number of artists like Scott Shaw, Sergio Aragones, and Floyd Norman go on stage to draw just for our entertainment.  But right at the beginning of the panel, Sergio decided to draw a picture of him fearing Donald Trump.  XP
    The other panel was a DC COmics Showcase, showing off upcoming films(Justice League and Wonder Woman) and Animation(Teen Titans: The Judas Contract).  I wanted to ask an April Fool's Question up there, but I decided not to.
    One thing that I have noticed is that DC Comics is slowly starting to integrate itself more into Comic-Con and Wondercon.  That's saying alot, considering that Disney often holds its own Convetion called D23.  That's where many Disney, MArvel and Star Wars projects are shown off instead of Comic-Con.  I wouldn't be surprised if Warner Bros bought out Comic-Con in the near future.  Then it would be called the Warner Bros Comic-Con and the Wondercon would be called Warnercon.
    BTW, I thought Katie Cook was up in Wondercon, but I was mistaken.  The only thing I bought was a My Little Pony comic.
     
    Anyway, enough talk.  I gotta get ready for Comic-Con 2017.

    So recently, I decided to give the Playstation Now a try through the 7 day free period. I had a great online provider(Cox), and I had a Logitech F310 controller.
     
    They both worked well and I was able to enjoy playing one game: Katamari Forever. Damn, that game is addictive.
     
    But I dunno if I want to put down the $20 a month for the service, mainly because I'll end up forgetting about it. What PS3 exclusive on the PSNow would you recommend that I try out?

    The first Season finale. Long before Season Finales were two-parters and had villains for the Mane 6 to take on.
     
    It was originally hyped up for the first Season: Wanting to explore what may be the best night ever for our heroines. Hoping for their dreams to come true
     
    Applejack: Business for Sweet Apple Acres
    Rainbow Dash: Hanging with the Wonderbolts
    Pinkie Pie: Partying out
    Fluttershy: Befriend the animals
    Rarity: Meeting the love of her dreams
    Twilight sparkle: Hanging out with the princess
    Spike: Wanting to have fun with all his friends.
     
    But in the end, it seems things went bad for the Mane 6. The animals didn't take kindly to Fluttershy. The Wonderbolts were too distracted for Rainbow Dash to notice. Applejack had problems getting people to buy her food. Pinkie Pie isn't enjoying the party. Rarity's stallion of her dreams was a total bust. And even Twilight and Celestia were disappoined in being unable to speak with each other.
     
    Overall, it was a rather mild episode compared to the later finales that would come. But still enjoyable.
     
    On a side note: Star Wars The CLone Wars episode: Ambush. It was the first episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and yet it was the episode that made me fall in love with the series as a whole.
     
    On the one hand, despite all odds against him, Yoda remained calm and was able to help guide a small band of Clone Troopers through the Battle Droid Gauntlet. It also reminds me why Yoda is an awesome Star Wars Character. Always upbeat, always enjoying life, and knowing how to prevail.
     
    I also liked the incompetence of the Battle Droids. While the Clone Wars movie, had some funny moments, this is what really nailed me to be a fan of these clankers. They remind me of Waspinator from the Beast Wars. It seems nothing good can come of these walking tin cans.
     
    Later on Wednesday, I'll be watching a Canterlot Wedding before watching another Star WarS: The Clone Wars episode.

    What I'm talking about isn't the fact that the series will end soon.  What I'm talking more of is the fact that this series has lasted a long time, yet a number of long time favorite cartoons are ether ending, or will be ending soon.  And not just the ones that showed up on the Hub  or Discovery Family like Transformers Prime, Transformers: Rescue Bots, Pound Puppies, Littlest Pet Shop or Dan Vs. But also cartoons from other channels like...
    Adventure Time(Will conclude this year)
    Regular Show
    Generator Rex
    Kung-Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness
    Looney Tunes Show
    Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles 2012
    Gravity Falls
    Legend of Korra
    Wander over Yonder
    Star Wars Rebels
    Justice League: Action
     
    Granted, there are some shows that are still sticking around(Steven Universe and the new Mickey Mouse), have come back from cancellation(Young Justice) or is already new to the series(Ducktales).  And yet, even if you don't count that My Little Pony will end next year, it still feels depressing to see it as one of the few shows left on TV.  There are many who see this as a good thing.  That My Little Pony has come a long way.  But sometimes, it feels like a bad thing to know that your favorite show has lasted this long, and yet it feels empty because other shows are gone.  Many that I enjoyed.  Some I wish went on longer.
    But regardless, it's still sad to see My Little Pony as one of the few shows left on TV that has lasted this long since the beginning of the decade.  Even if it is sad to see it go, it's more depressing to see it alone where other shows have ended.  Even if I end up loving the final seasons.  Maybe that's just the "All together" in me.

    As you all know, Hasbro is NOT only the main provider of Star Wars toys(Especially the Black Series), but also Marvel and Disney Princess toys as well(And there are still rumors that Disney could buy out Hasbro, making them owners of not just My Little Pony, but also Transformers and GI-Joe). Also, Star Wars is about to celebrate its 40th Anniversary.
     
    But how would you all react if Disney and Hasbro reached a deal where the My Little Pony toy series got a Star Wars-themed Spin-off? Like, for example
     
    a) The My Little Pony characters dressed up in Star Wars-themed attire(Ex: Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as Jedi, Rainbow Dash as a Smuggler(With a Wookie companion), King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek as Sith, maybe even Gilda as a Bounty Hunter or Trixie as a Dathomir Witch)
     
    The ponies as selected Star Wars characters(Ex: Twilight Sparkle as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rainbow Dash as Han Solo, Queen Chrysalis as Mother Talzin, Garble as Kylo Ren, Princess Celestia as Satele Shan, Derpy Hooves as Jar Jar Binks)
     
    c) Ponified Star Wars characters(Ex: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, K2S0, HK-47, Darth Revan)
     
    How would you react if Disney gave Hasbro the green light to create Star Wars-themed My Little Pony figures?

    For those of you who don't follow Hasbro's other well-known IP the Transformers, it's a show about heroic Autobots battling against the evil Decepticons.  They possess the ability to transform into vehicles, weapons and beasts.  In this series, Starscream usually serve as Megatron's second-in-command, only to plot to overthrow his master and become the Leader of the Decepticons(This usually results in him getting the tables turned on by Megatron).
    However, during my day, I though "What if Starscream existed in the Equestria Girls universe not as Megatron's second-in-command, but as a student of Canterlot High?  
    Description: Starscream is a male human with Black shaggy hair and grey skin with a small goatee on the bottom of his chin..  His clothes includes a Red Jacket with White Sleeves, a Black and Yellow Shirt, Blue Pants and Black Boots.
    During Sunset Shimmer's days as the number one bully of Canterlot High, Starscream served as her second-in-command.  But one day, Starscream tried to overthrow her and become Canterlot High's number one bully.  IT backfired when Snips and Snails caught him off guard and he was ejected from the group.  Since then, he vowed revenge against Sunset Shimmer, only to have it taken away by the Twilight Sparkle of Equestria. 
    During the events of Rainbow Rocks, Starscream was jealous of Sunset's rejection by the other students of Canterlot High, accusing her of claiming all the glory for herself.  Sunset wrote off Starscream as delusional as did the rest of her new friends.  After Sunset Shimmer help defeat the Dazzlings and regained the trust of the school, Starscream took it upon himself to start building himself up as the number one bully of Canterlot High, though he came close to losing it due to the events of Forgotten Friendship.
    As he rose to power as the number one bully of Canterlot High, Starscream intimidated most students with fear even more so than what Sunset once did.  Many students are too afraid to report Starscream to Principal Celestia or Vice Principal Luna.  The seeker's spread of doubt across the students has given him a power even more so than Sunset Shimmer.  He now focuses his goal on humiliating Sunset Shimmer for revenge, and going as far as to take over all of Canterlot high.  The two that Starscream enjoys intimidating are Snips and Snails.
    IT is also revealed that Starscream has a rivalry in sports with Rainbow Dash.  The seeker always enjoys a good physical challenge and does whatever he takes to annoy the young Wondercolt.  Usually, this results in a heated contest between the two.  Sometimes Rainbow Dash prevails, and sometimes Starscream wins out.
    An ideal voice actor for this character would obviously go to Steve Blum, who previously voiced Starscream on Transformers Prime and Transfomers: Robots in Disguise.

    As you all know, Toys R Us will begin its Liquidation sale starting tomorrow.  With it, marks the beginning of the end of the Toys R Us exclusive My Little Pony sets.  Which means if you're looking to get the following three MLP Friendship Festival sets
    Festival Foes set featuring Twilight Sparkle, Tempest Shadow and Spike(Got that)
    The PRincess Parade Pack featuring Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance(Got that)
    And especially the expensive Friendship Festival Pony Party Pack featuring Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Rarity, Ms. Pommel, Applejack, Big Mac, Fluttershy, DJ Pon-3, Twilight Sparkle and Derpy Hooves(And yes, I got that)
    Now is the time to do so.  Because judging by what happens to a Retail-exclusive MLP Set, they normally go up in price when they go out of stock(Especially if a Derpy is involved in the set.  Derpy figures are popular.).  So if you still haven't jumped on board with these three sets, you better do so before Toys R Us closes up shop for the last time.

    THis is something that's been going on in my head recently with the My Little Pony movie.  And this is gonna be harsh, but I feel like I have to say this.
    This movie wouldn't have done well regardless of reception.
    Even if this movie got a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, it still wouldn't do well in Box Office.  Sadly, I can bring up one prime example and it's a recent one: "Teen Titans Go to the Movies."  Despite its positive reception at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie only made back $11.5 Million at the Box Office(On a $10 million budget).  Even more so, it aired only in one theater room where I went to.  And the sad thing is that I actually enjoyed that movie as well(Not as much as Pony, but I still enjoyed it).
    Meanwhile, a film that doesn't have the reception as Teen Titans Go to the Movies(Hotel Transylvania 3) made a total of $284.2 million on a $80 million budget.  Even more so, it ranked higher over the weekend compared to Teen Titans Go to the Movies.  And even as someone who only sees Teen Titans Go as a guilty pleasure, I find this sad that this movie is overlooked compared to a sequel to a movie franchise that I felt was mediocre(Granted, I've seen the first one, and I got more of a meh attitude out of it).
    What does this all mean?  Right now, it does feel like there's a stigma against Non-CGI Movies.  My Little Pony the Movie, Teen Titans Go to the Movies, Kubo and the Two Strings, and even the Acclaimed Flop "Winnie the Pooh(2011)."  The only rarity to come out was Isle of Dogs, which did decent in theaters(I even saw it just to throw my support for the film).  Meanwhile, we have horrible films like the Emoji Movie doing well in theaters(8% on Rotten Tomatoes) last year, makign around $200 Million on an $60 million budget estimate, including marketing costs.  I refused to see that film, and I'm just startled on how well it did.  I don't get it.  And don't get me started on the Boss Baby.  Hell, don't bother bringing me up on the RT score, when the movie did really well at the box office.
    But this rant isn't something I want to just cover by letter.  I'm thinking about doing a rant about this on Youtube in the future.  Something that needs to be addressed: Why are CGI films still doing well(Especially some of the bad films), while non-cgi animated films are still struggling to make back their budget?  It's something I can't see to fathom, despite enjoying some of the good ones like last year's hit "Coco," or the Incredibles 2.

    Since acknowledging My Little Pony: Pony Life as the next chapter in the legacy of My Little Pony, I thought to myself "What if Pony Life crossed over with Friendship is Magic?"  
    But then, I thought bigger and wondered if there will ever be the idea of a Pony Multiverse?
    With the recent successes of Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, and Teen Titans Go vs Teen Titans, there is always a thought in me about a Ponyverse that exists within Hasbro's own ideas.  Many universes with different takes on our favorite characters, along with some universes with a different set of heroes.  Fanfiction already opened up an idea that a Multiverse exists(Ex: The Fallout Equestria Fanfic series, plus one that I am working on), that there are different takes on these characters, different variations of Equestria, different art styles, different stories.  The list goes on.
    What do you all think?  Should Hasbro explore the idea of a Pony Multiverse...or Ponyverse for short?

    In at least an hour, I will be heading up to the San Diego Convention Center for the 49th Annual San Diego Comic-Con.  As such, I will be posting a journal of my events there.  I will also post these events on my Deviantart Page.
     
    Note: My plans for tonight include Jay Fosgitt, finding a gift for a relative, and playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

    So instead of attending the last day of Anime Conji, I wound up going to a Baseball game at Petco Park.  The match was the San Diego Padres(Our home team) vs the Cincinnati Reds.  
    The game started out with nether team making any runs, until the Reds got a Home Run in the 2nd Inning, making us a bit nervous.  Halfway through the game, the Reds were 2-0 after they got another score.  We were in trouble.
    And then the Padres finally decided to take it seriously.  Sooner or later, the bases were loaded, and they called upon Hunter Renfroe up to bat.  And sure enough, he hit a Home Run that lead to a Grand Slam.  We were up 4-2.  The 6th inning got us higher on the score to 5-2.
    During the 8th inning, the Reds scored once more.  But the Padres countered with a quick home run, getting up to 6-3.  ANd in the end, one last set of Outs were enough to cinch the win for the Padres.
    So all in all, I had a fun time at Petco Park.  I may do this again in the future.  Will I record it in this blog?  It's up to all of you if you want me to do so.
    Anyway, I think that's it.  No more conventions till next month.  And that would be Comic-Con.
  16. SaburoDaimando
    Tomorrow, I will go to my second Convention of the year: The San Diego Comic Fest. It's a smaller convention compared to Comic-Con and Wondercon, more like the early days of Comic-Con. A few of the guests there originated from Comic-Con(For example: Mark Evanier has previously been a guest at Comic-Con since Day 1 and is recently coming down to celebrate the late Jack Kirby).
     
    If you live in the San Diego area, here's the link. It will go from tomorrow to Monday.

    Does anyone here remember the Brothers Grimm tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? What about the Disney version?
     
    Anyway, I had an idea of how a cast would play out if there was a My Little Pony take on Snow White
     
    Fluttershy(Obviously)- Snow White
    Thunderlane- The Prince
    Spoiled Milk/Rich- The Wicked Queen
     
    The Seven Dwarfs:
    Sunset Shimmer
    Starlight Glimmer
    Trixie
    Discord
    Big Macintosh
    Pinkie Pie
    Derpy Hooves

    This is just a "Just for the heck of it" post.  I'm pitting 5 MLP villains and 5 non-MLP villains against each other.
    Queen Chrysalis: Leader of the changelings.  Antagonist of A Canterlot Wedding AND To Where and Back Again.  Shapeshifter.  Possess powerful magic
    Lord Tirek: Villain of Twilight's Kingdom based on his Rescue at Midnight Castle form.  Also possess powerful magic, but can also drain anyone of their magic
    The Dazzlings: Adaigo Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze.  Their song can turn anyone against each other, and they drain their hate to power themselves up.  Villains of Rainbow Rocks
    Starlight Glimmer: A Powerful Unicorn.  Can take Cutie Marks away.  Can also alter the fabric of time.  Villain of The Cutie Map and the Cutie Remark
    Midnight Sparkle: An altered form of Earth's Twilight Sparkle.  Can create portals.  Came close to destroying her own planet.  Final villain of Friendship Games
    Megatron: Basically, ether his G1, Devastation, Prime, War for Cybertron or Titans Return form.  Leader of the Decepticons from the Transformers.  A powerful Warrior and a brilliant tactician.  His transformations include a Gun, a Tank and even a Jet.
    The Shredder: Sworn enemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Leader of the Foot Clan.  One variation of him can transform into a powerful Tengu, capable of tearing his enemies apart.  He can also become a Super Shredder when exposed to mutagen.
    Ommadon: The Red Wizard from Flight of Dragons.  Utilizes a variety of dark magics, and has a dragon to call his own: Bryagh.  Cruel, violent and sadistic, Ommadon will go through any means to achieve his goals
    Smaug the Dragon: A massive, powerful dragon from the Hobbit, who stole the gold of the dwarves and slayed anyone who dare opposed him.  His armor is like Shields.  His teeth like sword.  Claws like spears.  The shock of his tail a thunderbolt.  His wings are like hurricanes.  And his breath.......DEATH!
    Kylo Ren: Son of Han Solo and Leia Organa from Star Wars.  Corrupted by the Dark Side.  His use of the Force is beyond even Darth Vader.  He's even capable of freezing a blaster bolt in its place.  But he often has temper tantrums.
     
    So who would win in a 10 way fight?  Choose away.
  19. SaburoDaimando
    Now folks, I'm doing a poll based on villains.  Mainly My Little Pony.  But you'll find that I put in a 3rd villain from the Star Wars franchise just for fun.  Anyway, here are our entries.
    1) The Pony of Shadows: While his form was indeed scary, he was rarely used and didn't do a whole lot to the Mane 6 or the Pillar 6 in Present time.  Some say he had as much screen time as Nightmare Moon during the Series Premier: Friendship is Magic Part 1 and 2.  In the end, he was banished back to the void, but without Stygian.
    2) The Storm King: We barely saw this guy in the early part of the film.  He doesn't show up till way later, and he is not as powerful as many other villains like Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis and Tirek.  He ultimately double crossed his second-in-command Tempest Shadow, only to meet his end courtesy of an Obsidian Orb meant for Twilight.
    3) Supreme Leader Snoke: The Star Wars villain.  He was brutal and intimidating.  And while he did torment Rey, he was brought down by his student Kylo Ren, who slashed him in half just so he could take over the First Order.  
    So out of these three: Who came out ahead?  Vote and find out.

    This is something I consider disturbing when it comes to musicians.    They always seem to die so young.  Why is that?  Is it some kind of curse?  This comes off the death of Tom Petty, who only lived to be 66 years old. 
    But he wasn't the only musician to die at 66 years old in the past few months.  Hawaiian Music fans lost a living legend: One half of the Brothers Cazimero Roland Cazimero.  He and his brother were well-known for some of the most beautiful Hawaiian Songs.  Here's an example of Roland and his brother Robert Cazimero
    And if anyone asks, yes.  I have grown up on their music.  It has this kind of magic that, right now, can't be replicated anywhere else, primarily because of their voice and use of the guitar.
    But this feels alot like a disturbing trend, to see a Musician die so young.  If its around the 20s-30s, then that's WAY too young.  Some of them die of drugs.  Others of more tragic events  Some examples I can bring up include...
    Michael Jackson(50 years old: acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication)
    Prince(57 years old: Fentanyl Overdose)
    Andy Gibb, youngest brother of the Bee Gees(30 years old: Cocaine)
    Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees( 52 years old: complications of a twisted intestine)
    Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees(62 years old: Cancer)
    John Lennon of the Beatles(40 years old: Murdered)
    George Harrison of the Beatles(58 years old: Cancer)
    Elvis Presley(42 years old: said to have been a mix of Perscription Drug Abuse and a High-Fat, High-Cholesterol died)
    Janis Joplin(27 years old: Heroin Overdose)
    Amy Winehouse(27 years old: Alcohol Poisoning)
    Eazy-E of the N.W.A(30 years old: AIDS)
    Chris Cornell(52 years old: Suicide by Hanging)
    Whitney Houston(50 years old: self-drowning.  Though cocaine and heroin also contributed to her death)
    Bob Marley(36 years old: Melanoma due to Toe Cancer)
    Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys(47 years old: Cancer)
    Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston(22 years old: Drowning, later placed in a medical coma before dying of lobar pneumonia due to Drug Intoxication)
    Selena(23 years old: Murdered)
    Marvin Gaye(44 years old: Murdered by his own father)
    Kurt Cobain(27 years old: Suicide)
    Jimmi Hendrix(27 years old: Asphyxiation in his own vomit after he took sleeping pills.
    Freddie Mercury of Queen(45 years old: AIDS)
    Aaliyah(22 years old: Plane Crash)
    George Michael(53 years old: Heart Failure.  Died before Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died)
    Hawaiian singer Gabby Pahinui(59 years old: Heart Attack.  My dad actually knew him once.  Said to have gotten drunk many times.)
    Bruddah Iz "Israel Kamakawiwo'ole"(38 years old: Obesity, heart failure, and other medical problems.  He lost his brother Skippy at 28 to similar circumstances.)
     
    I mean, what is it about musicians that always seem to die so young, not just of drug overdoses, but also of other reasons like murder and plane crashes?  This is something that disturbs me when it comes to this kind of work.  And what causes them to go on a drug binge?  Is the stress of being a musician getting the best of them?

    As you all know, next year is Star Wars's 40th Anniversary, and I expect this to be as big as possible. And as you all know, Hasbro is the primary toy maker of Star Wars figures, especially the higher-quality Black Series figures.
     
    But I always wonder: What would happen if Hasbro worked out a deal with the Walt Disney Company(Their partner) and Lucasarts on giving their My Little Pony franchise a Star Wars promotion? And if it does become reality, how would it be done?
     
    There are three ideas I had in mind
     
    1) Dress up the Mane 6 and other characters as if they were characters of the Star Wars franchise
     
    2) Dress up characters like the Star Wars characters(Ex: Twilight Sparkle as Luke Skywalker, Rarity as Leia Skywaler, Gilda as HK-47, Derpy Hooves as Jar Jar Binks, Spike as Chewbacca, Zecora as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Pinkie Pie as Ahsoka Tano, Discord as Hondo Ohnaka, Queen Chrysalis as Darth Maul, King Sombra as Darth Vader, Lord Tirek as Emperor Palpatine, Starlight Glimmer as Anakin Skywalker, Maud Pie as Revan, Sapphire Shores as Shaak Ti
     
    3) Your favorite Star Wars characters...ponified.(Though I wonder what a Ponified HK-47 would look like)
     
    If there were Star Wars-themed My Little Pony toys, would you want them and how would you want them?
