St. Luke Skywalker on Skywalking Ox

Did you know that the original Tauntaun's were supposed to be flying oxen? It was deemed too religious so this part was cut out and they put in fuzzy-winter kangaroos instead.

Lion King Venice Republic War Ensign

The Republic of Venice was once an independent nation. Its flag had several variations. The main difference from other Venice flags was that it had the Winged Lion of Mark holding a saber instead of a Bible. But there is still a Bible underneath the left paw.

Lion King Flag of Veneto

The Lion King version of Venento's flag features Simba and a new constellation of the Italian skies. If you guessed Leo, they you were correct. The constellation Leo is facing right or sinister. The 12 stars represent the 12 signs of the Zodiac and 12 disciples of the Chosen One. Note that Venento is a sub-federal region of Italy that includes the cities of Venice, Verona, Pauda, and Rovigo.

Simba is holding a page from the Bible that reads in Latin PAX TIBI MARCE EVANGELISTA MEVS which directly translates to Peace To Mark Envangelist Mine, or rather Peace to you Mark, my evangelist. Note that MEVS should be written MEUS, but for some strange reason formal writing switches up U's to look like V's.

Can yov imagine if regvlar writing did the same thing. I am from the VSA or Vnited States of America, specifically Vtah Salt Lake City. They do this becavse making a letter U is deemed too hard. But if they can make a D, C, B, and O... what gives? I have never receiued a good answer.

The All United Kingdom Achievement of the UK - The Union of Draco and Monoceros

The All United Kingdom Achievement of the UK, a coat of arms, for the entirety of the English Speaking world. As all good followers of Islam should visit Mecca, people who speak and dream in English should visit London, for London is where the narrative voice within the spirit of your heart and mind originates.

This version of the coat of arms retains the red Dragon of Wales as in the Original United Kingdom when Wales and England were united before the addition of Scotland from 1284 until 1603.

The dexter lion supporter is deleted but the English lion is conserved on the crest. This gives the English lion on the crest more honor and value, and is less redundant. Also, the lower sinister shield has a Welsh heraldic quarter. This gives the UK a full palette of rainbow power. Not only does the Welsh Dragon and Scottish Supporter make sense, they providentially reflect the English colours—red and white.

Maybe a future reigning monarch, a potential King Charles the III or William the IV or King George VII, will adjust their royal banner to include the dragon? The Dragon and Unicorn echo like Yin and Yang. Imagine the Serene and Peaceful Unicorn united with the Intimidating and Powerful Dragon.
