I bet Officer B4711 is the stormtrooper that got killed... Its a good thing Trader Sondat is so influential with the empire...
 
omg... they hold up some sort of candle thing and suddenly they are joined by a bunch of the little guys from Spaceballs walking through space into a star...

Dude... do yourself a favor and just stop... it gets worse... and worse... I can feel my brain turning into shitty pudding and slowly ooze out my ears...
 
And in case no one has seen Episode 4 ANH you get to watch the entire movie broken down into about a minute and foggy as Chewie remembers "the good times".
 
The Nostalgia Critic is going to review it tomorrow. Should be interesting. Carrie Fisher is supposedly hopped up on drugs through the whole thing.
 
Oh thank fucking god!!!!!! Its over!!!! I made it!!! Praise god! Praise jesus! Praise allah! Praise the 6 arm indian god!!!!
 
Wow, that was truly a piece of crap. It was a 22 minute show expanded to a two hour time block. Holograms doing acrobats, softcore wookie porn, lots of singing (including Carrie Fisher), a Tatoine reality show, etc.

WTF was up with the end though? Were they all on some teleconference acid trip because how did they all end up together?
 
I've survived Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Hobgoblins. I'm ready for a challenge.
Maybe I'll watch it tonight....or tomorrow.

The few seconds I did watch seemed very terribly bad though, like something out of a middle school multimedia project.

It's mainly just mind numbingly boring.

There was a short cartoon in the middle of it (Chewy's son watches it) that actually was mildly entertaining for the fact that it is the first appearance of Boba Fett in Star Wars.

If you look it up on Wookieepedia, it's all considered canon in the Star Wars universe. Scary isn't it. Lucas said he wants to have every single copy hunted down and destroyed. Maybe he should have hired HK-47.
 
Well.....here goes....


00:07:00 - I'm somewhat scared....bored too, but scared mostly. Urge to kill: Mild.

00:08:30 - The small dancing things...yes, mostly scared now.

00:22:00 - Oh Harvey Korman, how could you?

00:25:20 - WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS!?!?!?!?

00:33:30 - Powerful urges to cry, run away, slit wrists....

00:35:50 - Strength waning

00:44:xx - NOBODY expects the Stormtrooper Inquisition!

00:56:15 - Oh for....half of this damn thing has been watching other people watching TV.

00:58:00 - They must've blown at least $20 on this animation sequence.

01:09:15 - Wow, Han Solo's been somewhat disfigured by the animator.

01:14:40 - Ok, screw this, cutting my losses.

Good...god. Just nothing else to say. It's just, no.
I picked a hell of a day to quit drinkin'.

I SEEN SOME THIIIINGS MMAAAAAAN!!!! Some CRAAAZY things!!!!



Any of them could have prevented this. Any of the actors. One bullet. One knife. One length of rope. A simple fall off a ledge. Anything. One dead director won't be too devastating to the world, we'll be ok. But no, he was allowed to continue this crime against humanity. All light is gone from my world now, for I have seen the Star Wars Holiday....the Star Wars......no
 
Reading the wikipedia page about the show is funny, as are all the quotes from George Lucas making it clear he wishes the whole thing never happened.
