So not too long ago, I had this idea to create a bunch of characters original to the Star Wars universe who were each heavily inspired by characters from The Disney Afternoon. Since today is Star Wars Day, I'm dipping back into that well.
At first, I wasn’t sure how to plop the Gummi Bears into the Star Wars sandbox. Jedi? …nah. Ewoks? … too obvious. Nothing quite fit. Then I remembered Disney’s now-defunct Galactic Starcruiser and my favorite part of that whole experience: the Saja.
For anyone unfamiliar, the Saja are Force-sensitive beings who aren’t technically Jedi but are devoted to preserving the Jedi ways... very similar to how the Gummi Bears devote themselves to the ways of the Ancient Gummis.
The two go together like a jawa and Amy Sedaris... which is to say... good enough for a blog post!
