Empire Strikes Back parody. Sequel to this.

Well, I think the site's name summarizes the project succinctly.

I don't see how those captions are particularly humourous or clever. In most cases they really have nothing at all to do with the original story, so they fail as satire. In order to satirize something, you're supposed to poke fun at flaws in the original, not just replace the original with totally unrelated jabber.

The website is clearly indicatie of this person's talents. As for the title...takes a moron to think this is how it should have been.

I actually found it pretty funny.

And I'm sure somone will make a satire about star wars, pointing out the flaws eventually.

Most of it is nothing more then "LOL dirty words!", but a few images are funny - the R2 suicide, the three-frame kiss.

Maybe it's time for an ESB Caption This

Okay everyone, go to the first Star Wars parody (ANH) and read until the scene where Vader is holding a member of the Tantative IV's crew (the captain?) by the neck and interrogating him. If you're not laughing, then stop reading as you're not going to like the rest of it.

It's all juvenile humour. The type that male teenagers like me think is the funniest shit on Earth.

This is the same fuck who wrote that "gamer's manifesto" and the bitch and whine rant over what movies should have been made.

Nope, it's the other guy who runs the site. He's the fuck who handles the empty machismo juvenile humor division.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2006-08-15 04:14pm

Well it's the same website, so that's frankly bad enough.

I agree, it's fits the style...thus really who cares which idiot it is from, it's still drivel.

Eh, it wasn't exactly hilarious, but it made me giggle. Something about Princess Leia being a crazed racist is just perversely funny.

Why? I can understand if you don't think it's funny, not everyone likes juvenile jokes about racism and sex. But condeming everything on the website merely because of a few stupid articles is rather unfair.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2006-08-15 07:54pm

I've seen quite a bit of the website, and it all strikes me as being the same inferior idiot quality, so my opinion that anything that comes from that site is unfunny, idiotic bullshit is quite fair.

...

And seriously, what the hell is up with that Obi-wan caption? That isn't funny simply because it doesn't make any sense. That and it lacks any connective context and has no punchline.

So am I the only one to whom all the Jew references made no sense?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2006-08-15 08:03pm

"Jew" is aparently used as a substitute for an actual joke when you're an unfunny creatively-bankrupted idiot.

Battlehymn Republic · Post by **Battlehymn Republic** » 2006-08-15 08:12pm

It's all in the lips, apparently.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2006-08-15 08:14pm

....

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Battlehymn Republic · Post by **Battlehymn Republic** » 2006-08-15 08:18pm

What other words could she be saying?

Okay, fine, it's just stupid.

In the context of this "alternate story" Leia is very racist.

Quite frankly, that flash cannot be expressed in a few captions. And Battlehymn's captions were poorly picked since almost all of them depend on context within the story.

Anyway, it's juvenile humour: racism, sex, gay sex, rape, etc. In my opinion the ANH one is funnier.

I got that thanks a bunch. So she's aggresively antisemite. The references still made no sense.

It was shit, but I got a chuckle from their "Top 10 worst bands" segment.

Shadowtraveler · Post by **Shadowtraveler** » 2006-08-16 01:05am

There was a lot of dumb racist jokes, but some of it was funny, like the "Kill Luke" subplot.

What references? She's anti-semitic, that's all there's too it. If you don't think it's funny, then you don't think it's funny, I already said that this "parody" is not for everyone.

What Battlehymn was trying to say was that, if snap shot is taken of a person saying certains words, most prominently "you", it can look as if said person might be saying "Jew". So Leia's racist remarks often seem to match the screencap of her.

I was amused by the "Oh Snap" frame, but that's due to a combination of the still used and Ein's German engineer animation.

And Vader saying "No, it's cool. I've just been under a lot of stress lately, and some of the guys think I've been killing the crew a little too much" amused me also.

Other than that, it was pretty stupid.
