WHAT IF, STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE Was Made Today?
This blog post is a little late for May the Fourth, but I can still make it for "THIS IS THE MAY" (Little bit of MANDALORIAN reference there). So in celebration of this "STAR WARS" month, I'm going back to my special What If editorials to do a What If, STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE was made today.
