Alan Moore: Tilotny Throws a Shape

Credits: Story by Alan Moore; Art by John Stokes; Letters by Jerry Paris
First Printed: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back #154 (1981, Marvel Comics UK).
Reprinted: Classic Star Wars: Devilworlds #2 (1996, Dark Horse Comics)

Synopsis: Bizarre abstract entities from another dimensional plane pop into being on an unnamed planet within the galaxy. One of them, a bubbly, easily-distracted being known as Tilotny rejoices in her discovery of this new type of existence, but she is soon joined by other, less agreeable fellows from her native realm. In her experiments with time and space, Tilotny stumbles upon Princess Leia Organa, who is fleeing on foot from stormtroopers. Unaware of their corporeal nature, these aliens end up not only killing and resurrecting these life-forms, but also inadvertently casting some of them into the galaxy's distant past. Four pages.

Choice Excerpt: "Oo-la! A shape! I've thrown a shape! I've invented form! I've invented mass! Oh cleverest Tilotny! Everything has edges! And... and things happen one after another! Time! Tilotny has invented time! This is a novelty. This is a first thing!"
