And if you haven't seen the skit where Vader calls Palpatine to tell him the Death Star's been blown up yet, you FAIL at the internet.

Our tongues can't repel flavour of that magnitude
Amazing stuff. Can't wait for it to appear on youtube.

It was hilarious! My favorite cut was the one of Luke throwing a thermal detonator in the AT-AT, only to see a snowtrooper taking a dump, replying, "What the f___"

Boba Fett posturing in front of carbonite'd Han Solo, then starting to live out a fantasy.

Oh my god that was beautiful. My favorites were the YO MOMMA duel and ADMIRAL ACKBAR CEREAL.

Dude, they're running re-runs every freakin' hour. They devoted the entirety of tonight's Adult Swim to it.

I loved how Vader kills Jar Jar only to have him return as a force ghost.

That was pretty good. They went for the cheap shots a few times, but overall it worked quite well. The orientation video was gold.

Fucked twice in one night by my own self!

That had some good new material, but on the whole I was a little underwhelmed.

I loved the little details. The guy in the AT-AT's bathroom was reading NabooBies

Is this the whole thing?

I watched it last night with my girlfriend, she didn't laugh once whereas most of the "inside" Star Wars jokes had me in hysterics ("Your taste-buds can't repel flavor of this magnitude!" and the whole ANH bar-scene redo). Unfortunately, Becky claims she's a Star Wars fan, yet she didn't get half the jokes.
For her punishment, she's being forced to watch the original movies with my buddy Chris and I. Since we've both seen the OT a hundred times, she's in for brutality only surpassed when Brian and I watch "Spaceballs" and quote the entire damn movie (Yes, we are all those annoying guys you hate to invite to movie night).
On the whole, I'd say it was a little weak. Some of the jokes were kind of over the top in slap-stick. Yes, we all hate Jar-Jar, thanks for the reminder. "No speak-a minimum wage-o," meh. And the inclusion of the "Teenagers blowing up the Death Star" annoyed me due to it being used to eat up screen time.
Oh and "Yo momma's so stupid, she has to go to Bangkok to get a Tie-Fighter."

The Jar Jar thing was mostly funny because the real Ahmed Best was doing it.
Anyway, my favorite bit was easily Ponda Baba's bad day.

My favorite part. There were a lot of good ones, but having Ackbar come racing in "It's A TRAP!" and bash the cereal away, then that line...it just had me rolling.

I don't think I can ever look at poor Ponda Baba the same way again....I'd almost rather that be in the canon than the actual Evazan/Baba backstory...

"And that was the best day of my entire life!"
"What about when I was born?"
"Not even close."

The Ackbar skit was probably one of the funnier moments in the show's entire run. The rest was great, too, even the bits they repeated.
"Oh Jeez, he's crying!"

I wonder if Travis and her fanboys are grinding their teeth at the mocking of their super Fett...

Nah. She is probably trying to figure out how to get frozen in carbonite.
