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___"

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.

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

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

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. :lol:

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal.

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...

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.

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