Younglings (Padawan Observer comic)

"May the force be with you, Chaba-Down."

- A boy to Chaba-Down in Younglings

Younglings was a comic strip published in The Padawan Observer, a school newspaper of the Jedi academy based on Coruscant, and possibly in other publications as well. The strip focused on the misadventures of a young Lannik boy named Chaba-Down. One such strip saw Chaba-Down complaining to a friend that everything he ever tried, such as holding a lightsaber, failed and the friend telling him "May the Force be with you," Chaba-Down. In another strip, Chaba-Down struggled with the fact that his attempts to fly a kite were always thwarted by the "kite-thieving Jawas."

Behind the scenes
The comic's style, characters and content are an obvious homage to the class comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, which often focused on the misadventures of a young boy named Charlie Brown.
