Two jokes that could have been mentioned...
1) Han says he saw through the con, but we all know that's a lie... Chewy just told him "That's Yoda. Met him like 20 years ago."
2) I guess we know what the Force is now... the force of impact!
The one about Chewie is so good it would fit a LEGO Star wars special
@@ianr.navahuber2195 there's a Lego Star wars special that was a young han and Yoda team up
1, or better yet "Eyyyyy Little Green! What's up homie?!?"
Also isn’t Han old enough to have seen Yoda on the HoloNet as a kid?
I am sure that if that comics was made after RotS they would make that joke
Linkara's reaction to Yoda CRASHING THE DEATH STAR INTO PALPATINE'S FACE is pure comedic gold!
Darth Yoda for you boys
I'm Laughing so much when I see this scene!!!!!!!
"WELP! HERE WE GO!"
Yea it sounds like he broke character lol
Palpatine:"I have unlimited pow-"
*sees the Death Star careening right at him*
Palpatine:"Well....maybe not THAT unlimited."
Palpatine clearly never played The Force Unleashed.
Okay, my only thought for how that ending happens, is that five straight years of dealing with another Skywalker just finally made Yoda snap.
I’d actually like to see what happened in that five years it’d make a good sitcom , Luke and Yoda could have a Frasier and Martin Crane father son living together type relationship
It makes you wonder how long Obi-Wan would have lasted training another Skywalker before snapping if he didn't die early on ...
"Shut up about Tosche Station he would not..."
I can see that.
@@tinkerer3399 "How to convert power, show him I will!"
"Yoda crashing the death star onto Coruscant, right on top of Palpatine's face!!"
'Shows Linkara's flabbergasted expression'
'Cut to credits'
I feel like in this alternate universe, Yoda found out that Chopper had at least 50,000 kills to his body count and decided to one-up him in the greatest way possible!
Programmed Chopper, Yoda did.
Considering how all of Rebels takes place before A New Hope the timeline adds up
When did Chopper kill SO many people?
@@chheinrich8486 in Season 2 epsiode 8 he sabotaged the Indictor which caused it to explode with two imperial crusiers caught in the blast. That’s approximately 50,000 when you consider their maximum capacity
@@skibot9974oh, yeah, i watched a kill count video for Chopper since i made my comment 😊
The Empire: We are invincible! No one can stop us!
Yoda: GREATEST PLAN THIS IIIIIIIIIIS!!!
I understood that reference.
Yoda: BOLD ACTION MAN I AAAAAAAAM!!!
I love Charles.
Charles.
I can appreciate a good Henry Stickmin reference.
One does not simply waltz into Coruscant.
One crashes the Death Star into it.
Han not going stir crazy on Dagobah makes sense to me, he's a smuggler, he's used to needing to lay low in the middle of nowhere for months at a time to avoid government attention, 2 months isn't too long for him, especially since he's been kept busy with repairs on the Falcon.
Yoda crashing the death star seems even more extreme when you consider he could have just used a single reactor shot like in rogue one to destroy the emperor. Dude literally caused countless unnecessary casualties just to one up batman in the final episode of that original justice league animated series.
Nope. He couldn't. Palps said his men disabled the Superlaser before Yoda dropped the Death Star.
The single reactor shot took out all life in an area easily visible from space, if not the whole planet. I honestly think crashing the Death Star into the planet would deal less damage.
I believe that's what we call a "flex move."
@@alexandersturnn4530 Yes, but if the first warning that the station had been taken over had been a "low power" shot that vaporized Palps (and Vader, and few billion sophonts...Coruscant is crowded) the troops wouldn't have had time to disable the main gun. Instead he opted to destroy the fleet, giving the DS crew time to react.
It doesn't seem like a great plan unless the ships in orbit were supposed to be the vast bulk of Imperial military might and wrecking them along with the DS would make finishing off the remnants easier for the re-established Republic to come. It's not even clear if he went the route he did to give Luke a chance to turn and rescue Leia and/or Vader, although I guess that must have been part of the goal here or he could have just taken the Palp kill shot without sending Luke & Han down at all, then wrecked as much of the fleet as possible and then self-destructed the DS, which would have accomplished the "cripple the Empire" objective with far less loss of life - still in the billions, but less than ramming the planet.
Honestly, it seems like a pretty reasonable sequence of events. With the Empire's heavy hitting force users distracted by Luke on Coruscant, Yoda could move around the Death Star much more freely than Obi-wan did in A New Hope. The only issue is that, logically, Yoda should be a more noticeable Force presence than Luke, but Force cloaking techniques can mitigate that.
Yoda just pulled an Operation: British. He has join the ranks of the Zabi Family.
I wonder if there was a missed opportunity here with the whole crashing the Death Star into Coruscant.
What if the second Death Star still got made in this timeline and Yoda smashed them both into Coruscant? With the two Death Stars hitting just the right spots to make it look like a huge Mickey Mouse head just before exploding.
XD BRILLIANT
I feel like Yoda really dropped the ball with the ending.
"Charlie brown scream"
EH😂
ruclips.net/video/PeFcJKZmK6s/видео.html
Rimshot!!!
"Career in moichandizing, I thought I'd try... Spaceballs, the planet destroyer!"
Yoda taking the death star and sending it to Palpatine head literally is really funny and such a crazy way to end a new hope.
I thought it was a sick burn when Luke addressed Palpatine as "Your Highness" as though the latter were at best a crown prince, but Yoda here calls him "Your Excellency" 😂
For those unaware, Your Excellency is used as the title for a President, Ambassador or Chancellor, i.e. denying the existence of Palpatine's Empire in a way that you know rankled the ever insecure Palps
A jedi's gotta be respectful of those of authority.
The hilarious thing to me is that this isn't even the only time in Star Wars canon that someone dropped a moon on someone just to kill them in particular.
In the original EU (before the Disney deletion), there was a big ole alien invasion from beyond the stars... the Yuuzhan Vong. And they got so flipping annoyed by Han, his kids, and Chewie... that they *dropped* *a* *moon* *on* *the* *planet* *they* *were* *on* . Chewie does a heroic sacrifice and saves Han and Han's kids, but Chewie gets the most absolutely *awesome* final sequence before he finally dies - shaking his fists and screaming at the moon crashing down, as if to to challenge the literal world ending catastrophe happening around him.
The Yuuzhan Vong also devastate Coruscant, so this is a twofer
The old EU at times feels like someone got their anime and JoJo mixed up with their Star Wars. Like... people complain about what some of the sequels had? I feel like if you gave the EU time, there'd probably be a moment where like... a Jedi jumps into the air through the Force hurls 50,000 Star Destroyers at someone.
@@the-aspiring-creator4249 That's why I'll always prefer Canon to Legends. The latter had too many cooks in the kitchen and got way too messy.
@@the-aspiring-creator4249 There was that time Starkiller pulled a Star Destroyer out of orbit in the most annoying level in video game history
@@jacklovejoy5290 I remember that, especially because I recall bringing that up in a discussion regarding the two canons and someone chose to question that by going "Well in the novel we see what actually happened which was that he slowed its descent and not that he pulled it out of the sky." which prompted me to check the novel, copy the exact passage where it said basically that he was ripping a Destroyer out of the sky. Seriously, I love TFU but that game is loaded with absurdity.
I imagine Yoda was playing "Come on and SLAM" as he drove the Death Star into the planet
I can safely say i never seen Yoda pull a The Force Unleashed move, but i have no clue to think he COULDN'T
Yoda using his powers malevolently is always treated as a real threat. I think in one book Yoda briefly opened himself up to the dark side just to show Count Dooku - who was trying to convince him to turn - how absolutely catastrophic that would be for everyone. He'd pretty much overwhelm the Sith without breaking a sweat.
The Force Unleashed wishes it could be like this!!!
Ok Yoda calmly bringing down the Death Star on Palpatine’s head like Madara Uchiha summoning a meteor? That’s the kind of badass visual Lucasfilm needs to animate!
Oh God, yes! A Disney+ Original Series: Yoda and his Death Star vs Palpatine
I would pay for that to happen in Live action film
Now I picture Yoda and Madara playing Meteor Dodge Ball. Who dodges first wins!
It reminded me of Operation Britian
@@larrychilders6599 Why haven't we had Star Wars Vs Gundam?
He dropped the Death Star on Palpatine’s head.
Best. Comic. Ever!
So, Yoda remembered that time back in Episode 3 and decided to do one better.
Yoda: “From Force-Master Majora I got this.”
HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THAT ENDING?!?! I mean, I knew these comics existed since I remember seeing the reactions of the torpedoes not hitting, but in all the time on the internet and obscure star wars stuff I watched from time to time, I'm amazed that *"Yoda crashes the Death Dtar into Coresant and squished the Emperor"* wasn't a thing I knew about til now!
I knew this already, read it in a library years ago, but it's still insane to watch to this day.
I mean, Gundam already took "magic space hippies with laser swords" from Star Wars; It was only a matter of time before it'd return the favor and have insurrectionists dropping space stations into planets
Wait, is that why the title card looks like that?!
*gasp* 😅
And together, we can be Justice Star!
Everyone else is playing checkers while Yoda is playing Katamari Damacy.
Kind of ironic that Luke failing to blow up the Death Star resulted in an overall better future than what happened in canon. Then again, it’s hard to top “Yoda dropping the Death Star on Palpatine’s head” in almost any other Star Wars-related media.
To be fair, I imagine a lot less people died or experienced prolonged suffering in the regular timeline because the Empire was defeated a few years before they were here.
Considering the official population of Corusant, I am pretty sure Yoda now has the largest body count in all of star wars...
What about Starkiller base?
@@skibot9974 out of curiosity I did some google searches, now I don't know how accurate these are since they come from Fan Wikis, but apparently Hosnian Prime had 179 billion people on it, meanwhile Coruscant has around 3 Trillion. So even if the other four planets destroyed had similar populations to Hosnian Prime, which is doubtful since Hosnian Prime was the capitol and thus probably the most populated by a large margin, it would mean eight hundred ninety-five billion people died, still less than a third of Coruscant's population.
@@Enixon869 wow
According to an official Census, by the end of the Clone Wars, Coruscant was stated to have a population of *1 trillion people.*
And _that_ is not counting transients, temporary workers, unregistered populace, nor residents of orbital facilities, leading the actual estimations to be *3 times* that of the official figure.
Thank you, I'll see myself out.
How has no one done the "I am your father" bit with C3PO and Vader before? That was clever as all hell!
The fact that Han knew instantly that was yoda helps my theory that he has a little bit of the force in him.
That or the first Lego Special is actually canon.
Or Chewbacca told him.
It’s the only explanation to him manually landing at Lightspeed in TFA
(Why does the Holdo Manuver get so much crap but never that?)
I love that headcanon. My favorite part of it is how DEEPLY OFFENDED Han would be at the notion that he could be Force Sensitive! XD
@@Levitz9 also when he appeared to Ben in ROS, he was an ordinary ghost which we don’t see often in Star Wars
Linkara's reactions to the death star crashing into corousant just had me die laughing with split sides 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was easily the single most hilarious episode of the past two years hands down. You has good material to work with and your jokes and energy were spot on! Thank you, Lewis. This easily cracked into my top ten favorite episodes of Atop the Fourth Wall.
The last time I saw this many jokes in quick succession was General Hammond's giant head in the Stargate SG1 review...
Oh my God! That was some kind of ending. My jaw was on the floor.
Are we sure the what if of this issues isn't, "What if Yoda fell to the Dark Side?"
Because with what he shows in this, it wouldn't be surprising to find out that he used the Force to mess with the torpedo.
Yoda crashes The Death Star into Coruscant.
Brian Drummond’s Vegeta: Too bad it’s Sunday, those buildings would’ve been filled up tomorrow.
I loooooooooove What-If stories. When they're bad, they're hilarious. When they're good, they're honestly incredible. I think Marvel's What-If animated season being a sort of backdoor "Exiles" pilot was brilliant, but I'm disappointed it seems to not have gone anywhere.
It's truly incredible how many people had "massive issues" with Rey, a scrappy scavenger who's fought every day of her adult life, being skilled at close combat and knowledgeable about the inner workings of ships while Luke, a farmboy with some toys, flying the equivalent of an F16 fighter jet after nothing more than "dusting crops" is completely fine.
What COULD the difference between their situations be, I wonder?
Yoda: "The Jedi code, more like a set of guidelines they are."
TO BOLDLY FLEE WAS 10 YEARS AGO?!
What have I been doing with my life?
One of the funniest things about the final panel is that Anakin is drawn as his old man look from the original cut like all the fanboys want, but Obi-Wan looks _way_ more like Ewan Macgregor than Alec Guinness.
Law of equivalent exchange I guess.
Man, Yoda with the biggest mic drop ever! I love this book and was hoping that you would eventually cover this someday. I was NOT disappointed!
That's no mic! It's some kind of space station
Hey, Yoda! Let go of that frickin' Moon already, will ya?!
28:32 "Greatest. Plan. This. Iiiissssss!"
Not shown in the comic, but Sidious has a Magic 8 Ball designed to resemble the Death Star. Just that morning, he asked it if it was gonna be a good day for him, but it slipped out of his grasp & through some quite impressive cartoon physics thwacked Palpatine on the head.
"...I forgot to mention r2-d2 is apparently all it takes to take control of and use the death star" Yeah, It's R2 the sailor-mouthed linchpin of EVERYTHING ever! By sheer anger he can do whatever he wants, and the rebels are lucky he's on their side
With how much time we spend following the jedi, it's this tiny little ship repair bot that seems the most overpowered.
If it’s not R2-D2 it’s gonna be C1-10P aka chopper from Star Wars rebels
Yoda kamikaze bombing the Death Star into Coruscant is something out of a “ketamine Yoda” meme
28:51 The Death Star used Body Press it’s super effective
I had no idea this comic was even a thing. Holy crap, that ending was insanity. Forget jumping sharks and frying the coke, this is BOWLING PALPS!
Willy Wonka: Wasn't that magnificent. I was getting worried it was getting a little dodgy in the middle part, but then that finale. Wow.
29:00 - Was not expecting a Star Wars/Majora's Mask crossover today.
I've read all of the Infinities series and it's really interesting. How one simple change to an important moment can cause a massive deviation. That's how I know about Marvel's What If. My favorite was the one for Return of the Jedi. Why? Because of one reason: White Darth Vader aka Darth Vader in white armor symbolizing that he not only survived but returned to the light. That and the Rebels kind of pissed off the Ewoks which is kind of funny.
This is a good one and I like it. Keep it up mate.
Is there by any chance a "What if Anakin hadn't joined the dark side" Story in the infinities series?
The white armor is so silly though. Like - I get the sentiment but it’s like trying to turn a swastika into a pride flag. They should’ve just given him new armor imo
The white Darth Vader armor is so cheesy but I love it so much
@@naplockblubba5369 I know. It is cheesy.
@@legoking6165 nope. they only covered the original trilogy. But theres some fanart or fanfics that might have covered that.
I did NOT see that ending coming! Yoda crashing the Death Star on Sidious! Laughed out of breath!
The only way that Yoda RKO'ing the Death Star right onto Palpatine's head would be more metal was if he started blasting "Angel of Death" from every loud speaker imaginable.
"Luke! You will go to the Degobah system."
"Degobah system...?"
"There you will learn from Yoda! The Jedi master who instructed me... in the art of trolling." - Obi-wan to Luke.
Yoda using the Death star to kill the emperor is just awesome.
Ya missed one more joke there, Linkara.
*"Oh...balls."*
...
...
...
...
*SPACEBALLS, THAT IS!*
That bit with the Emperor and the Death Star is metal as hell.
While I have mixed feelings on star wars infinitys, yoda just going
"I chose violence" at the end will be forever burned into my brain
Do you think he started playing BFG division while he popped the imperial star fleet like soap bubbles
Of course you mean "violence i have chose"
Tarkin: YOU CAN'T JUST THROW THE DEATH STAR AT CORUSANT!!
Yoda: Bet, you will?
I think you mean "Yoda just going 'Violence I choose.'"
This is what happens when Yoda doesn’t get his ketamine.
Yoda’s extended period of training Luke obviously drove him even madder than he already was. That or he got temporarily possessed by the spirit of LEGO Yoda.
Two episodes in one week?! Linkara, don't tire yourself out.
I’m pretty sure he’s like a month behind the original schedule. As much as I’m sure he’d love to take a break, I’m just as sure he’s stressing out hard over how he’s gonna catch up in time for the Halloween festivities.
@@cartooncritic7045
He's gone on a record multiple times on Twitter to say that he prefers people not tell to take a break from work as Lewis himself has said before that he prefers to be on schedule and wants to be held accountable, which is very responsible of him. If it makes everyone feel better he is canceling the Late Night Double Feature that was supposed to come out last mouth, and instead we might get it at a later time and mouth when Halloween is over (since you know that he will do a different movie series for the late night double feature in October). Plus Patreon sponsors are locked in.
Here's another Yoda crashing the death star joke, "Hello younglings, I'M BAAACK"
That teaser at the end about “a planet destroying ball” with Halloween coming up made me optimistic that there were Phantasm comics out there.
…I guess transformers will do.
Jedi Master Yoda: The greatest mass murderer in history.
Because of that ending, I’m gonna share this with EVERYONE I know😂 it’s that brilliant
This actually had a good build up and a lot of meaningful directions... then Yoda used a WMD on the most populated planet in the galaxy, billions cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Ngl I could not stop laughing at that scene, it was the most goofy, delightful kind of fanservice!
[deep breath] Okay, you might want to sit down for this one Linkara. RUclips's doing a GOOD thing for a change involving copyrighted music.
28:45
Two jokes that could have been mentioned here.
1) So it turns out Palpatine was playing the real-life version of "Legend of the Jedi: Yoda's Mask" (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for those that don't get it)
2) So that's what the Death Egg crash in the opening of Sonic & Knuckles looks like from the other side.
5:17 whats funny its that in the young adult canon novel: Lost Stars, Vader was stranded near debri of the blow up death star....for more than 4 hours. And considering his TIE did had basic shields and hyperdrive....yeah Han damaged it severely
I think they were taking from robot Chicken here
And together, we can *be* the Justice Star! Very, VERY close together.
Gotta say, Yoda smashing the Death Star down is pretty effing metal!
I did NOT expect that ending! Holy crap, Yoda! XD
I would be more concerned about the heat the Death Star would produce when crashing. When you compress a gas quickly, it heats up quickly and will make the entire planet extra crispy.
23:05 I think the writer just wanted to see Yoda use Jedi mind tricks so that others could speak in his backward sentence structures. :P
I guess this is what happens when Han gets stiffed on his paycheck: Luke fails to destroy the Death Star, no Saint Porkins day, and Yoda going crazy (And based on those couple of panels, it wasn't part of the plan). This was really fun even if it doesn't make much sense at the end.
How the hell did you resist the urge to go "What is wrong with your face!?" at Luke at 6:57 ?
Palpatine: Everything is as I’ve foreseen. This battle will happen exactly as I will it an- what’s the music?
I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands, for your will drags us under
My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?
Oh god lmao, he about to get Meteor'd
Holy shit that's good
Vader: I have a daughter??
Palpatine: oh no not again
Man, the way you portray Palpatine in your jokes reminds me of his portrayal in the LEGO Star Wars cartoons, and that makes them all even funnier!
(Later on, as Force Ghosts)
Yoda: "Yes...restored to the galaxy, peace has."
Anakin: "Master Yoda, you just killed trillions of people!"
Yoda: "Hm! Just like a PURGE, you could say? Ask the younglings we should-AWWWW, TOO SOON?!"
Anakin: "...Obi-Wan, I don't like Master Yoda now."
Obi-Wan: (Eyes wide, backing away slowly) "It's probably best we keep our distance."
How serendipitous this came out at the same day as Andor.
I read all of Infinities back in the day and it was very interesting how things not only differed, but also incorporated elements of the prequels. I was very disappointed they never did Infinities for thr Prequel Trilogy, and I would certainly love it if Marvel brings back Infinities as a limited series for both the prequels and sequels.
Hell I would also be open for them to do a limited animated series in the vein of What If where they do alternate Star Wars retellings. So many possibilities given the amount of fateful decisions made in all the movies:
What if Qui Gon lived? What if Anakin was able to save Shmi in time? What if Padme didnt die of a broken heart? What if Obi Wan lived? What if Luke joined Vader? What if they failed to rescue Han from Jabba? What if Kylo Ren didnt kill Han? What if Finn and Rose recruited the Master Codebreaker? What if Rey didnt heal Kylo Ren?
I wish they did Infinities on the Prequels because it would have been really interesting to see.
i am surprised we never got infinity comics on the prequel trilogy because that could've been interesting.
@@TevyaSmolka Agreed.
@@MegamanNG indeed
If Linkara ever does a “Top 15 villain defeats” Yoda crushing Palpatine with the Death Star would have to be in AT LEAST the Top 5
30:13 That joke certainly caught me off guard. The brief silence either made it awkward or funnier, can't be sure which
3:58 The point of the scene was that the targeting computer had already proven unreliable, and clinging to a piece of technology that HAD proven itself unreliable was foolish. Luke taking the shot without it was the only realistic choice he had!
Upon dropping the death star...
Yoda: "Na nanana nana na na... Damacy Katamari..."
That Mary Sue Luke joke is perfect 👌
A prequel's _What if_ in wich Anakin dies at the end of _Episode I_ seems a little extreme, but "What if Obi-wan died on the fight against Darth Maul instead of Qui-gon?" would be very interesting, or "What if Jango Fett and his shapeshifter associate successfully killed Padme at the beginning of _Attack of the Clones?_ or what if she survived _Revenge of the Sith_ and raised Luke and Leia?", "What if the crew of the Rogue One survived their mission and became permanent players in the Rebel Alliance?" "What if Asoka became Darth Vader's apprendice?" "What if L3-37 survived to start a Galaxy-wide droid revolution?" "What if a remant of the Empire raised Rey as Palpatine's heir since childhood?" "What if the First Order found Luke in Ahch-To before Rey?" Possibilities are wild
This episode is GOLD tier.
I really hope Linker will review the rest of this series because, hot damn, there's so much potential.
...
I might just rewatch this video right now. x)
PS: Thanks for that part about Luke destroying the Death Star being "some Mary Sue bullcrap". I see what you did there and I appreciate it.
I had never heard of this before this episode, so I was just as blown away as Palpatine by that Death Star Smash
I've literally read it and own the omnibus and I was still surprised
Same
Holy shit. First thought on Yoda bringing the Death Star down on Palpatine's head: cool! Second thought: holy shit Yoda just murdered everyone on Coruscant. Yoda wtf.
I just have this image of Yoda doing his trademark old hermit laugh as he goes full kamikaze on Coressaunt and Tarkin just staring at him in horror wondering what the fuck he experienced to make him go insane all while R2 beeping out the tune to Amazing Grace.
Palpatine: *upon seeing the Death Star coming down* Oh, this is what my fortune cookie predicted.
[Palpatine notices a lot of shadows all of a sudden.]
"Wait. How late is it?" [Goes outside.]
"Huh. The moon looks really large this evening... Wait... That's no moon... THAT'S MY SPACE STATION!!" [Gets crushed to death & dies instantly.]
Then BAM
15:01 that's a take I haven't heard before. C3PO is actually Luke's Brother because Vader is his father too.
"Anyway that's why it's good that Yoda stayed on Dagobah cuz that little guy is FUCKING NUTS."
30:20 One more
“Disturbance in the force, I felt. As if cried out and suddenly silenced millions of voices were. Mmm, turn on, it is”
Vader wearing your hat was comic genius. Also, that '"Especally the typos" exchange reminds me of Garak's "especially the lies" scene and "Stronger than before" always makes my think "Go Zeo!"
Yoda used Colony Drop. It is Super Effective.
Wow, Yoda really took Zeons playbook of colony drops to heart, didn’t he?
He remembered… THE GOOD OL’ DAYS AFTER OPERATION BRITISH!
@@Nameless-ln5mr Operation: British accents in space
You think, when he was rolling the Death Star around on Coruscant, Yoda was humming to himself "Damacy Katamari, na na na na na na na na?"
So, if I remember correctly, it was cannon in the original series that the reason why this would work is the stormtroopers weak will. It's why the mind trick works so easily in A New Hope. So Yoda using it to get to Tarkin doesn't really bother me.
I thought he was bothered by the fact that Yoda could have probably done something like this a long time ago.
@@Mike_Dubo also I don’t see the guy who’s essentially the third in command of the empire being weak willed
@@skibot9974 There's that too. When you can order the destruction of an entire planet without a second thought, "weak-willed" is not exactly a term that neatly applies.
Man, never didn't think To Boldly Flee's ending was actually used in this sense. But man, that was 10 years ago!? My god, where has the time gone!?!?!
Yeah….2012 really was 10 years ago 😅DAMN
Not only was this a great story, amazing review, but the title card on this episode is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Bravo to Viga.
0:30 Funny to think that all of those came about one way or another.
26:55 This would be the perfect moment to include a clip of How It Should Have Ended's Darth Vader cheering that he's a father.
32:57 If I had a nickel for every franchise I've heard of that have giant, planet-destroying balls that I haven't gotten into, I'd have two nickles.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Palpatine: Exists
Yoda on the Death Star: "About to do what's called a Pro-Gamer move, I am"
I think they took some inspiration from how Chewie died in the Expanded Universe. They dropped a moon on him, too!
Darth Sidious the Squished! HA!
