Quips and Comebacks

Star Wars: Quips and Comebacks, subtitled Mix and Match More than 150,000 Zingers from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. . . .,

Put scruffy-looking nerf herders in their place with this hilarious interactive Star Wars quip generator that lets readers mix and match more than 150,000 zingers using phrases and language from a galaxy far, far away. . . .

From a galaxy full of colorful turns of phrase, this flip-book format lets Star Wars fans of all ages creatively combine adjectives and nouns for lighthearted fun, with the flip action creating hundreds of thousands of possibilities for playful jest, whether your target is a malfunctioning worst-order womp rat, a coarse dimwitted Loth-rat, a wretched sarlacc-kissing scavenger, or a slimy no-good moof-milker.

INTERACTIVE FUN: The book includes a short introduction celebrating the witty tradition of Star Wars quips—such as when C-3PO banters with R2-D2, Han and Leia trade affectionate jabs, and when Chewbacca is called a walking carpet or a fuzzball—and tracing the appearance of some of the new lingo from sources such as the bestselling Star Wars: The High Republic novels.

INTERGALACTIC TRANSLATION: The backs of the cards give the sayings in the Star Wars Aurebesh alphabet.
