I'm delighted they got Anthony Ingruber to do Han Singular, because his "I don't care about anything mumble mumble mumble" Harrison Ford is downright eerie.

Also, "Birthday Attack" has redeemed the special edition song.

I did learn the hard way not to watch these in Machete order. If you start with Episode 4 you'll just be very confused.

You should have paid more attention at the "Previously, on Star Fight" segment at the beginning. That shoulda brought you up to speed.

Nothing could be more human than smoking a cigarillo, or watching episode six.

Hey, you got your E.T. in my Star Wars!

(That "minus Williams" stuff is just brilliant. Shows just how much emotional manipulation channels through the soundtrack)

Creepio is one of the greatest characters. I really need one of their FLESH t-shirts.

Also, make sure everybody has Zimas! (I knew I was saving some for a special occasion.)

How can it be April when it feels so much like Christmas?

Creepio's rant about what the Tree People taught him in the newest episode had me laughing so hard I was crying.

Now the terrible wait till episode 7!

I call my cat Friend Besto all the time now. So far he has not build a Singularity Engine. (At least not that I know of...)

So much better than Lucas’s version.

Kylo Ren vs. Bane: Multibowl is still one of my favorite videos ever. The first comment they made on the overhead boxing game forced me to pause the video.

Kylo Ren ASMR Interrogation / Personal Attention / Dark Side Tingles

As an unrepentant Kylo stan and longtime industrial music fan, uhhhh, this video did things to me. Why yes, I do like the sound of your gloves.

Compared to the other ones, this seemed more about resolving loose ends than big laughs to me, but unbelievably for a gag dub, a lot of the humour comes from long-term character arcs and development, and more stuff might click on a second viewing.

For example in the third one, the big moment where Palpatine ultimately sends Anakin on the path to the dark side (by making him symbolically take the 'evil' red lightsabre and kill Dooku) doesn't have anything on "You're friend's wasted, Anakin. I'm telling you, the Jedi are all a bunch of self-destructive smackheads, and they're going to bring you down. Tell me, are you happy? You don't seem happy", but only because it's built on two episodes of Obi-Wan being a complete dick.

Not to rag on Obi (after all, he's no Creepio), but the swamp scene in 5 has something similar - we get "I opened a door to a new dimension, and you can too (pause) if you do enough midichlorians" in the most amazing portentous Tesco Value Alex Guinness voice, but it's undercut by the knowledge that he's a lifelong relapsing junkie ("if this is what sobriety's like, I'm smoking a big fat sack of crack").

5 is maybe the funny sweet spot, but 3 holds together the best for me, because the prequels just provide a lot more material to play with, plus they'd had two other episodes to build on at that point.

I'm glad someone on here told people to persevere with episode 1 until the Creepio skin bit, because the first 5 minutes were pretty meh, but that's where it really 'grew the beard' in TV Tropes lingo.

Actually now that I think of it, the Steve Ben Obi-Wan Larry Kenobi arc is nearly better than Creepio's. Also the meta-narrative ("I have no regrets about cloning my arch-nemesis. You guys are the best!")

At least one of these people is Tim Heidecker, right?
"Bock bock bock bock bock bock, meow meow meow meow meow meow."
"Burning Inside" playing during Jedi Party.
The Laser Master song actually rules. Same for the Dance of the Fates.

what i love is that ewan mcgregor's character (the young Obi Ben-Larry Kenobi) is played as basically the same character as Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting, and possibly Shallow Grave

I am still just blown away that they managed to make a coherent plot. Granted, it was an insane plot about trying to hire a magician for an orbital laser-tag business that happens to gain sentience, but it works.
