Tag and Bink (Tag Greenley and Bink Otauna) are the main characters in a Star Wars spoof series of comic books that parody the films. The characters were created by writer Kevin Rubio and artist Lucas Marangon. They are a pair of minor characters whose activities deliberately or accidentally influence the events in the first and second film trilogies in ways that explain some of the implausible events of the series. The title of their initial appearance—Tag & Bink Are Dead—is a reference to the Tom Stoppard play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, itself titled after a line from Hamlet.

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 the Star Wars comic licence from early 1990s. The entire Tag and Bink series was collected in the trade paperback Tag & Bink Were Here. While their original appearances were meant to be parody comics, a reworked and more grounded version of the characters was later added into Star Wars canon in a scene from the novelization of the film Solo: A Star Wars Story that was filmed but deleted from the final cut due to pacing issues.
