Tag and Bink are the main characters in a Star Wars spoof series of comic books by Kevin Rubio. Tag is from the planet Corellia and Bink is from Alderaan. The two first meet when they are found to have Force potential. The comics illustrate how these two Jedi in training haphazardly cause all the pivotal events in the Star Wars universe. Like other Star Wars comics of the time, Tag and Bink was published by Dark Horse Comics, the holder of Star Wars-licence from early 1990s (taken over from Marvel Comics). The whole Tag and Bink series was collected in Tag & Bink Were Here.
Tag and Bink are the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of the Star Wars universe, a pair of minor characters who deliberately or accidentally influence the events seen in the first and second film trilogies. Their meddling also explains some of the inconsistent and illogical events of the series. In fact, the title of their initial appearance — Tag and Bink Are Dead — is a direct reference to the Tom Stoppard play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
Tag and Bink will make their official cinematic debut in the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story, portrayed by Jon Kasdan and Toby Hefferman. In a Reddit AMA in October 2017, Kevin Rubio supported the fan theory stating that the two stormtroopers who back up to avoid the wrath of Kylo Ren following him discovering Rey has escaped in Star Wars: The Force Awakens are an elderly Tag and Bink.
