It is a period of civil war...Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base,
have won their first victory against the evil
Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies...

1. well i started by saving up jokes i got in christmas crackers, or that other people got in christmas crackers. for christmas in 1963 my godmother gave me a wooden box, and i had to give all the christmas cracker toys to charity on boxing day but i was allowed to keep all the jokes.
2. by 1997 the box was full. my godmother had died in 1991, at the ripe old age of 47, so i had to buy a new box out of my own pocket money.
3. in 2000 i got my first computer, an amstrad cpc464. i connected it to the internet by tying the phone cable around a nail and hammering it into the tape drive. that was how i started the first VEC WARS website.
4. i quickly made upwards of five million pounds, but unfortunately VEC WARS fell victim to the dot com bubble burst, and i lost it all and was declared bankrupt.
5. when i moved into the hostel for fallen businessmen in 2009, i remembered the box of christmas cracker jokes. so i decided to resurrect VEC WARS. but i did not want to repeat myself, so i wracked my brains for a way to keep it fresh.
6. that was how i came up with the VEC WARS FACEWASP. the word FACEWASP is a combination of FACE and WASP. WASP is an anagram of SWAP. this was a mistake, the first time i typed it i got the letters in the wrong order, and the FACEWASP was born.
7. actually the second time i typed it i typed FACEWASP. the first time i typed FECES WAP.
8 the VEC WARS FACEWASPS are in black and white to give them a uniform aesthetic, and to make them distinctive.

re: pt. 8are you sure it's not just because it's easier to match contrast in B&W rather than deal with colour difference? B&W makes faceswaps a complete doddle.
