Funny, too, as apparently (though it's all rumors and hearsay, you'd have to do some digging to find the original source) JT hated making most of it. His sponsor (which most assume to be the mouse himself based on the timing and amount of copyrighted material he was allowed to use) was cutting jokes he liked left and right, forcing him to make ones he thought were bland, and so he basically did the bare minimum. And yet, his bare minimum at this budget was immensely entertaining, possibly the best thing he ever made. With humor he didn't like being some of his best gags. Perhaps Jontron was always a creator meant for this sort of thing, tight and curated. A reviewer on a leash. If anything, he was holding himself back by NOT holding himself back I talk like he's dead or something but I just find his content past like...howling II to be incredibly unfunny and low-effort, barely a step above reaction channels. And, you know, he's super racist apparently. I guess always has been if you look back. Glad he doesn't make a fuss about it, no JK rowling style decent into extremism, but still off-putting to think about.
@@ReddCrystalI agree with you but there's one thing I actually appreciate about Jon he view himself as a showman for pay which is what he is instead of acting like he knows better than the average guy he just does his job well
@@ReddCrystal That stuff about Starcade makes so much sense. Always felt the series was really watered down in humour compared to his other videos at the time.
Every Jontron video I watch and have watched for many years. But this series I saved for one day, a day when I'm feeling really down and needed a pick me up. Today is that day.
His knowledge of Star Wars, at least at this time, seems to only be from the original trilogy and maybe some of the prequels, but he probably just completely forgot or chooses to ignore what the prequels were about, due to them being considered bad for most of his life.
37:07 - 37:22 “Why make one movie when you can just keep adding to the same one forever? Just put- Just put that there. One here… More… More! It must be perfect! Never clean! Never clean! The past never happened! I’m in control of my life!” I think that perfectly encapsulates Disney’s Star Wars and their sequel trilogy
Maybe I'm just getting older (34) but... I miss original JonTron. His new stuff is good and I respect that he probably has other things going on, but I pine for the older days of em'. Also, RIP Jacques. :>
The reason the little Wookie was walking on the railing because if he had taken one more step he would have fallen the next rail over is the one Han Solo tricked that storm trooper into falling through. Checkoffs gun, but with a rail…
@@Khornecussion yeah. And he even paid actors, artists and had many youtubers come to the show back in the day. Now most of his show is him sitting and making the same joke of him whispering things into the mic and just watching RUclips videos. What the hell
1:05:00 I’m that crazy person. I thought this thing was so cool. I didn’t care that was basically full motion video and it wasn’t really a game. I had so much fun playing this stupid thing.

@@johnjohndejohnson269 yee , in that case i recommend you take a moment to reflect over how much your own projections might cripple your ability to compute meaning from written words of others
The man is funny no matter what he makes but also...? The idea of expecting him to produce entertaining content without turning some kind of return on it is... baffling?
my favorite part of the star cade episodes is jontron spending hundreds of dollars on an SS uniform for a visual gag and then finding out later that he has trouble with other people not the same skin color as him

I’m a simple person. Jar Jar’s Jar Jar Jar was some fantastic humor.
Jar Jar's Jarringly Ajar Jar Jar Jar
I like how all the episodes combined make up literally an hour and a half; literally movie length
that's how you know this series is somethin' special
It’s cool that Jon made better Star Wars content than Disney
“Reluctantly in love” describes Han Solo and Princess Leia better than anything else the new movies could ever do
Describes arin and jon
I remember waiting for these to drop back in the day. Times sure were different. I was stuck at work most of the holiday.
wait.. JonTron had 9 Episodes before Star Wars!? Nice!
It's Kirito! OMG.
The best thing we got out of Disney's star wars.......Was Starcade
No the best thing we got out of Disney's star wars was jontron's review of starcade
@@KillerKoala5974Did he post one of those? Where might I find it?
Nah
The last good thing out of Jontron was Starcade COUGH.
@@MforMovesetshe's had shit to do and the economy's been shitty what do you expect
Every Jontron video I watch and have watched for many years. But this series I saved for one day, a day when I'm feeling really down and needed a pick me up. Today is that day.
This is how I find out Markiplier appeared in a JonTron episode...? Fellas, tell me I've just been watching too much Mark and I'm tripping.
I feel like I’ve been watching too much Jontron and am tripping lol.
Ironically Jon not knowing who Plo Koon was actually did mean he must've been living under a rock, because that's a fan favourite character these days
Maybe for like 18 year olds 😂.

@@oneblacksun *All of his life Ain't no way in hell the prequels will EVER be considered good by anybody, lol.
@@Necrobadger There's been a resurgence where people, generally younger people, who view the prequel trilogy in a much better light.
@@oneblacksun So humans are confirmed to be insane?
One of my personal favourite series on yt the sheer production value is insane and it’s so funny plus starwars

The past never happened! I’m in control of my life!” I think that perfectly encapsulates Disney’s Star Wars and their sequel trilogy
Yeah
To be fair, episodes 7 and 8 were 2 of the best Star Wars films ever made. Not sure why they fucked it up with 9
@@NecrobadgerEh, most ppl agreed that the Last Jedi fucked everything over and Rise of Skywalker was forced to play damage control
Funny, when this firsr came out it waa making fun of the george lucas rerelease of the original trilogy adding a bunch of cgi crap
@@douggibson2030 I know. These days, it just feels prophetic to me and the state of Disney’s Star Wars
I loved yoda waaaay before i knew who zack was and omg i love he
The Arin reuniting was awesome for me as an OG Game Grumps fan
This is actually kino. One of the best game reviews on YT
shame he threw that all away. his modern content isnt bad but it utterly pales in comparison to any of his gaming content
@@sweetypuss true, game reviews were much more interesting.
And probably the most expensive.
I completely forgot Markiplier and Ross were in this haha
I never realized how much of the script was written by the oney guys. This explains a lot.
I actually had the Vader plug and Play game, gift from my grandmother
So did I.
It's fun looking back at this and hearing all the smiling friends voices in the skits 😅😂❤️ fing love it
In retrospect, this is everything Channel Awesome wanted to have but never quite captured
What ever happened to the Star Wars Transformers?
This is my "Holiday special of Star wars". I watch starcade every Christmas.
Also, I never noticed that Zach Hadel was Yoda and Indie’s wife. Such an odd detail, but fitting for the time.
zach has the gift of brilliant writing and the ability to make practically anything funny
" died the way he lived, like a goddamn psychopath. "
never gets old.
2 years and we still dont talk about how jontron had a ps1 controller for the dreamcast game starwars demolition
Better late than never to watch this.
Fr as a kid I didn’t watch these because I didn’t care about Star Wars but now I’m 19 going through my Star Wars phase 😹😹had to come back
Thank you for actually uploading the entire series, unlike a username by the name of felman87
19:49 that one didn't age quite so well
@user-bq5np8zb2r still
43:16 THAT IS ZACK HADEL!
(Charlie from smiling friends)
@@ryanfarris8175 it sounds just like him!
yes, he and oney also appeared on the talent show jontron made or something
he's green and he's retired
Oh shit :O
And then the Sequel trilogy appeared and the galaxy was forever shamed, even worse then when the holyday special was made!
The set production is impressive.
I’m just watching a man devolve into insanity
This is the best star wars we've got since disney took over.
.....Smiling friends.......I was not prepared
I was exposed to Zach at a very young age and it’s haunted me ever since, and I never even knew it until recently
better than disney trilogy xD
Don’t forget Star Wars rapper merchandise from Li’l Padawan!
🎶 3PO - he cant go pee pee yo ...🎶
Maybe I'm just getting older (34) but... I miss original JonTron. His new stuff is good and I respect that he probably has other things going on, but I pine for the older days of em'. Also, RIP Jacques. :>
Ugh when did Jaques die?
He didn’t die, Jon just stopped using him because the bird was too hard to work with.
@@shard7549 Nah, filming with Jaques stressed the bird out, which is why he basically got retired from the channel. Sad.
My head canon is that this George Lucas is the same one from Half in the Bag.
anyone notice the diy guy is the bad guy in Blazing Saddles
The reason the little Wookie was walking on the railing because if he had taken one more step he would have fallen the next rail over is the one Han Solo tricked that storm trooper into falling through.
Checkoffs gun, but with a rail…
Jon should've done this himself as soon as the first Disney Star Wars movie was made.
I can appreciate a Golden Girls cameo.
et tu, artwo?
(Luke falls over in hysterics).
46:42 AND THATS THE GRANDMA FROM SMILING FRIENDS!
"I'm devastated seeing all the Star Wars characters die." He should never play Force Unleashed 2 then. Also just now realizing Yoda is voiced by Zach.
5:53 🎶ooh ooh🎶
"episode 1 a movie that lives in infamy!" Oh, Jon... If you only knew. Such a different time before Disney Star Wars.
I had that star wars volcano from star wars 3. It came with obi-wan and anikin
Anyone else here after learning that James Earl Jones died?
Back when every episode of Jon Tron wan't just him sitting in a room all alone without ambience nor budget
( You realize that he had a lot of practical sets built for this stuff, right? The X-wing scene for example was a set. Lol. )
@@Khornecussion yeah. And he even paid actors, artists and had many youtubers come to the show back in the day. Now most of his show is him sitting and making the same joke of him whispering things into the mic and just watching RUclips videos. What the hell
1:06:58 for the Han and Chewie docking scene.
1:04:10 - Would have been cool if the 2nd Luke is would have been called 'Luuke' as a reference to Luke's clone in the expanded universe.
>best of series
>Shows entire series
U must love this sh*
1:10:40 Disney paid Jon to do this, saw that line, and said "Hold our blue milk."
“I wanna go all the way! NO, okay, this, nope, this didn’t work. I’m gonna take this off now.”
Nice
I can't believe this was 8 years ago
I wonder if Jon still feels that nostalgic tinge with the new garbage lol
12:33 MARKIPLIER AND JONTRON IN A VIDEO!!!!
1:32:56 Holy Sheep Shit it's Erin from GAMEGRUMPS!!!
Was the voice of Yoda puppet Lyle from Smiling Friends
It’s not a “best of” if it’s every episode. I think this would be more considered a compilation.
35:48 Joker in a nutshell
Jacques killstomped in the first 3 minutes?! This kind of brutality could have saved the prequels.....
This is just smiling friends lol

Back when Jon actually cared about his fans and wasn't a sell out
Not that I didn’t enjoy this, but it is definitely sell out material. 😂
He...
He was literally payed, by Disney, to make this series. He, by definition, sold out to make this.
He was paid by Disney to make this, what you mean sellout?
