| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) | comment |
This page contains unmarked spoilers from the Skywalker Saga. You Have Been Warned!Set during the Star Wars films, Tag & Bink is a four-issue adventure comedy comic written by Kevin Rubio (also known for the fan film, TROOPS) and published by Dark Horse Comics that takes place from the perspective of two Rebel soldiers who, after escaping from the Tantive IV in A New Hope, keep getting into all sorts of trouble, crossing paths with all sorts of major characters as Those Two Guys, and even influencing galactic history, all while they struggle to stay alive. These comics are partially based on Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (with the first two issues of the comic even being called Tag and Bink Are Dead in reference), which similarly followed two minor characters from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.The first three issues each cover a single film in the Original Trilogy, while the fourth and final issue, "Revenge of the Clone Menace", covers the entire Prequel Trilogy. The third issue, "The Return of Tag & Bink: Special Edition" is a rewrite of the Star Wars Tales short comic, "The Revenge of Tag & Bink".Despite its limited number of issues and it's explicitly non-canon nature, Tag and Bink has become a Cult Classic among the Star Wars comic enthusiasts.The titular duo have since become Canon Immigrants with their appearance in Solo (although their scenes didn't make it into the theatrical release), an unusual case as they were from the Infinities brand, which was explicitly considered non-canon even in the context of the Legends continuity. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong: When Lando tells Tag that there is nothing he can say that can convince him to let Tag and Bink hide in Cloud City after being chased by Boba Fett, all it takes is Tag saying "Battle of Tanaab" to convince him. | |

Dressing as the Enemy: Tag and Bink do this a lot, whether as a way of trying to wiggle their way out of bad situations or they're actually on an infiltration mission. In this kind of series, however, it tends to invite a lot of trouble, such as getting mobbed by rioting Cloud City citizens or putting them in positions where they really can't help much. | |

Ambiguously Brown: Tag is noticeably lighter-skinned than Bink, but both characters are modeled after Kevin Rubio's brothers, Craig and Brian respectively, which would imply they are both Hispanic. However, their In-Universe nationalities are Corellian and Alderaanian respectively. | |

Adaptational Mundanity: Played for Black Comedy in the third issue. When Mon Mothma states that "Many Bothans died to bring us this information" in Return of the Jedi, it implied that many alien spies were killed gaining intel on the second Death Star. In Tag & Bink, "Many Bothans" is revealed to just be one human spy named "Manny Both-Hanz". | |

| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) / int_272abb98 | comment |
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Manny Both-Hanz is killed by Boba Fett in the process of delivering information on the second Death Star to Tag and Bink, and Mon Mothma asks the duo to deliver Manny's body to Imperial High Command to make it look like he failed to deliver his intel. However, as revealed in Return of the Jedi, the Emperor deliberately leaked that information, and not only do Tag and Bink ultimately end up being stuck on the Death Star (not even being able to take advantage of the fact that they are disguised as the Emperor's royal guards), they end up dead in the Death Star's destruction. | |

Ax-Crazy: Jango Fett is pretty easygoing and friendly when he meets Tag and Bink in Dex's Diner, but as soon as he hears the words "Order 66" under any context, he develops a psychotic urge to kill Jedi and tries to kill the kids. However, he forgets what he was going through as soon as Tag and Bink escape onto a leaving freighter. While his son, Boba, doesn't quite match his levels, it's apparent that some of Boba's sadism towards Tag and Bink after they humiliated him came from his dad. | |

Older Than They Look: Kannen Doom is depicted in both the time periods of Attack of the Clones and Return of the Jedi. Those two films are chronologically 26 years apart, and Kannen doesn't look like she's aged a day despite being human. Kevin Rubio has stated that she ages at a slower rate than most humans. | |

According to Tag, his two sisters are like this. Lando Calrissian had plans to go on dates with both of them at the same time, but he was also dating a Senator's daughter. Taking pity on Lando, Tag decided to let Lando use his victory at the Battle of Tanaab as an alibi. Unfortunately to Tag's chagrin, Lando's been using that story to win girls' hearts since. | |

Bad Boss: Admiral Motti is one towards Tag and Bink while they are undercover on the Death Star in the first issue. And his first encounter with the duo after bumping into him (due to the stormtrooper helmets' notoriously bad vision) lets the audience know that he's very unpleasant and egotistical. He later has them penalized for letting Obi-Wan Kenobi disable the tractor beam despite their incompetence being part of Darth Vader's plan to track the Rebel base. | |

Taking pity on Lando, Tag decided to let Lando use his victory at the Battle of Tanaab as an alibi. Unfortunately to Tag's chagrin, Lando's been using that story to win girls' hearts since. Kannen has a grudge to pick with Boba Fett for him dating her at one point and dumping her. However, seeing as she also dated Jango, Boba's father from whom he was cloned, it's implied from some of Boba's testimony that she's mistaking him for his father (if she's unaware or in denial of Jango's death) or treating him as a Replacement Goldfish. Unfortunately for Boba, Kannen isn't buying his claims of being one of Jango's many clones, regardless of whether he's telling the truth. And she will stop at nothing to get her revenge on him personally, even going so far as to retrieve him from the Sarlacc's stomach (although that was actually Tag in disguise). | |

Instead, he ends up shooting through Luke's (cybernetic) hand. | |

Not What It Looks Like: In "Return of Tag and Bink", the duo abruptly ends a conversation between Lando and Kannen, thinking Lando's up to his usual gig (that plus Tag's annoyed that Lando's using the Battle of Tanaab to win her over) and not focused on trying to meet up with a Rebel spy. It turns out Kannen was the contact for the spy and she was going to try to help the team get into Boba Fett's Slave I to rescue Han Solo. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: Tag was the real winner of the Battle of Tanaab, but Lando Calrissian keeps taking credit for it as a pickup story. He and Bink were also responsible for stealing the Tydirium. However, they barely get any respect for any of their achievements. | |

Replacement Goldfish | |
| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) / int_643618e5 | comment |
Kannen has a grudge to pick with Boba Fett for him dating her at one point and dumping her. However, seeing as she also dated Jango, Boba's father from whom he was cloned, it's implied from some of Boba's testimony that she's mistaking him for his father (if she's unaware or in denial of Jango's death) or treating him as a Replacement Goldfish. Unfortunately for Boba, Kannen isn't buying his claims of being one of Jango's many clones, regardless of whether he's telling the truth. And she will stop at nothing to get her revenge on him personally, even going so far as to retrieve him from the Sarlacc's stomach (although that was actually Tag in disguise). | |

Spared by the Adaptation: A downplayed example. Boba Fett was revealed to have eventually escaped from the Sarlacc in both Canon and Legends. Here, Boba doesn't get eaten at all, as his screen time from Return of the Jedi is actually Tag in disguise. However, this doesn't stop Boba from suffering other embarrassments. | |

While other Expanded Universe works have shown Lando Calrissian to be kind of a slimeball in his younger days, he became a more responsible man by the time of The Empire Strikes Back. In Tag & Bink, he was never actually involved in the Battle of Tanaab, and after using Tag's victory there as an alibi to avoid the wrath of Tag's sisters (whom he was supposed to be dating when he dated a senator's daughter), he has used it to woo over other women since then (or to negotiate for something else). | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tag and Bink have a habit of accidentally contributing to bad situations, such as accidentally erasing Kamino from the Jedi Archives.

Phony Veteran: According to Tag, Lando Calrissian never participated in the Battle of Tanaab, and used Tag's victory there as an alibi to cover for a triple dating incident. To Tag's annoyance, Lando's been using it to pick up girls since. This is eventually downplayed as Lando gets his own legitimate war story after the Battle of Endor. | |

Foreshadowing: Tag and Bink coming back as Force ghosts at the end of "The Return of Tag and Bink" didn't come completely out of nowhere. This is subtly foreshadowed by Tag mentioning that he learned to understand astromech language in "Temple class" and providing a harsh critique of Luke's lightsaber skills at the Pit of Carkoon. This is then followed up in the prequel, "Revenge of the Clone Menace". | |

Failure Hero: Whenever they try to help the heroes of the saga, Tag and Bink are usually in disguise as the bad guys. Unfortunately, because the heroes sans Lando aren't in on the situation, they end up suffering for it. For example, they tried to rescue Han Solo just when he was about to be carbon-frozen, only to get tossed aside by Chewbacca. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: While other Expanded Universe works have shown Lando Calrissian to be kind of a slimeball in his younger days, he became a more responsible man by the time of The Empire Strikes Back. In Tag & Bink, he was never actually involved in the Battle of Tanaab, and after using Tag's victory there as an alibi to avoid the wrath of Tag's sisters (whom he was supposed to be dating when he dated a senator's daughter), he has used it to woo over other women since then (or to negotiate for something else). Mon Mothma is still a Reasonable Authority Figure like in other works, and even commends Tag and Bink for stealing the Tydirium and relaying Manny Both-Hanz's intel on the second Death Star. However, she pulls rank on the duo to get them to go undercover to deliver Manny's body to the Empire (to make it look like he failed to relay his findings) when Tag tries to suggest against it. Jango Fett is still an Affably Evil mercenary, but he mentions that he'd have Boba skinned if he did something as bad as delete files from an archive by accident, but would still respect him for coming clean. And that's not even mentioning his "Order 66" episode. | |

Self-Deprecation: The intro crawl for almost every issue has at least one self-inflicted jab against Kevin Rubio. The end of "The Return of Tag and Bink" features both the Sebastian Shaw and Hayden Christensen versions of Anakin Skywalker's Force ghost staring at each other in confusion. George Lucas appears in the background of Dex's Diner filming the scene with a depressed look on his face. Anakin's rather awkward romantic dialogue with Padmé is a result of poor coaching by a young Tag and Bink. | |

For example, while he and Bink are posing as the Emperor's guards, they overhear Palpatine reflecting on Darth Vader's role as Sith but can barely hear him, and Bink misinterprets it as something about a Bith. Tag then wonders if this means there will be music later. | |

In the comic proper (Dan Jackson), she's a redhead. Behind the scenes, Kannen is modeled after Kevin Rubio's friend, Drea Hoffman, who is blond. | |

Delayed "Oh, Crap!": Tag tries to ask Lando for a place to hide from Boba Fett, only to realize the Slave I had just landed in Cloud City. In "Return of Tag and Bink", Tag and Bink, in disguise as stormtroopers, try to distract Boba Fett while Lando searches Slave I, only for Boba - who threatened to kill the duo painfully for humiliating him back on Yavin - to casually point out that he remembers the duo.note The duo didn't dodge a bullet in the original "Revenge of Tag and Bink" rough draft comic. Instead of Lando knocking out Boba, Boba apprehends the duo and feeds them to the Sarlacc as payback, only to get out along with Boba later on the condition they don't tell anyone that he screams like a girl or that he was taken out by a blind man with a stick. | |

To the Pain | |
| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) / int_e482cfa7 | comment |
In "Return of Tag and Bink", Tag and Bink, in disguise as stormtroopers, try to distract Boba Fett while Lando searches Slave I, only for Boba - who threatened to kill the duo painfully for humiliating him back on Yavin - to casually point out that he remembers the duo.note The duo didn't dodge a bullet in the original "Revenge of Tag and Bink" rough draft comic. Instead of Lando knocking out Boba, Boba apprehends the duo and feeds them to the Sarlacc as payback, only to get out along with Boba later on the condition they don't tell anyone that he screams like a girl or that he was taken out by a blind man with a stick. | |

Brain Bleach: Among the mishaps he endured explained to Kannen, Tag mentions "learn[ing] more about the digestive process of a Sarlacc then any person should have a right to." Of course, given what the lore has established about the Sarlacc's digestive process, it's hardly jaywalking and was probably more horrifying than gross. | |

Running Gag | |
| Star Wars: Tag & Bink (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Stormtrooper helmets having hilariously bad vision. Lando Calrissian taking credit for Tag's victory at the Battle of Tanaab and using that story to get into people's good graces (for romantic reasons or otherwise). The accidental deletion of Kamino from the Jedi Archives being blurted out in a public area, followed by everyone else raising their hands in response to being asked if they heard that. | |

Pet the Dog: The duo survived the Jedi Purge because Anakin Skywalker spared their lives in return for helping him eventually marry Padmé. However, they are given conditions that they never mention being Jedi, practice with the Force, or come back to the Jedi Temple. | |
