It is with a heavy heart that we report tonight that one of our community forum members, Mark Grimshaw, passed away today from cancer.
Mark was known as Grimace in our community, and often shared a fun comic strip in our forums called Karaoke in the Cantina. He was great at bringing a fun sense of humor with these and was active across our boards. He had a strong passion for the Original Trilogy, and an impressive collection of custom figures he had purchased and also some he even created himself.
Any thoughts one has to share can be posted in the comments section here or in his Karaoke in the Cantina thread; which is a great place to look back and reminisce about the contributions he made to our community.
Personal Note: Thank you Grimace for all of your activity here at Yakface over the years and helping make our forums what they are today. You were always great to chat with about the hobby and a positive part of our community. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. God Bless, and MTFBWY – Always.

We won’t be publishing the images or the links here due to the varied ages of our readership, but Lucasfilm has issued the following statement.
It’s not surprising that GQ would want to capitalize on the cultural cachet of Star Wars, but Lucasfilm and Disney did not authorize, participate in or condone the inappropriate use of our characters in this manner.
