"Don't worry if you've been living under a rock because Disney has hired a team to lift up every rock and scream PORGS into the ether." Is still one of the best lines
"That thing has a name?"
~ Summary of my knowledge of Star Wars
Yes it has a name, and it's this. ~ Summary of my knowledge of Star Wars.
Wild how Rise of Skywalker was just this but longer, worse and less logical.
somehow he returned
Ethan and Sal's emperor impressions throughout the episode had me fucking dying
I am rewatching just for that
"assmouths and hammerheads" should be a racial slur they use in the star wars universe
Hammerheads actually is.
George derided a cartoon frog rabbit, and then 20 years later decided to put in a cartoon frog rabbit
Jaygon! It’s like poetry
Sal's Emperor impression talking to Leia about putting himself in her baby is freakin HILARIOUS! Reminds me of a Venture Bros character! lol
This story is even funnier if you listen to the radio drama adaptation. Since there are no comic visuals to go by, the actors need to work in explanations of the action in their dialogue. Luke will be fighting bad guys, and Han will be like "Did you see that, Leia? Luke just lifted that Imperial walker into the air! Now he's throwing it into that other tank! Oh, wow! He's generating some type of force field to protect us from the laser cannons!" LOL
30:42 "What, the Sarlacc told them?" I like this theory. The Sarlacc's just a big dirty gossip, holding a cigarette holder and clicking its tongue as it dishes.
Emperor Salpatine is top tier entertainment
Wouldn’t it be lame if they actually brought back the emperor in the new continuity? Thank god we have Snoke amiright?
*sigh*
@@Backtothezack been here off and on 5 years
2 years later and after watching "The Rise of Skywalker" . . .
"No it's not magic you stupid bitch it's just old" fuckin killed me!!! XD
Dengar and Fett actually become best friends in the books (well as much as anyone can be friends with Fett) to the point where Fett was the best man at Dengars wedding, and Dengar is one of the few people in the entire Star Wars Universe that Fett truly respects.
I'll say this: while this story is kinda goofy (made even more by the comedic skills of the Comic Pop crew), I still love the old Expanded Universe. I grew up reading about the fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn, the rebuilding of the Jedi Order by Luke, the devastating war against the Yuzzhan Vong, and Jacen Solo, the male twin Han and Leia had, falling to the dark side in a mirror of Anakin to protect his child, and so much more. Decades of a long narrative that is well done and entertaining to read comics and books of, play video games of, and learn about. I hate that it they replaced it with the new stuff, and I hate what Disney has made it, and so I'm glad that we got an episode of the classics. Thank you Sal and the gang for this episode.
The sequels made my love for the EU stronger
Watching this video after the sequel trilogy and the Mandalorian is like a fever dream
Who’s watching this now with Palpatine coming back in episode 9
People keep commenting on Sal's Palpatine, but nobody is talking about how great his Watto is!
The Emperor trying to keep himself entertained as an undeveloped fetus is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen “This is totally boring!”
It kills me anytime Sal or Ethan do the Palpatine voice.
I'm writing this after the rise of skywalker came out. Unreal how much of this series can be found in episodes 8 and 9.
Lol that very moment Ethan was talking about Luke going to the dark side and being confused happen to me this morning as I was listening to the hand of thawn
I believe in the Legends continuity Dengar was actually scarred by Han in a swoop bike race and held a grudge as a result. Don't know if that has been explored in recent stuff though.
The Emperor is basically Orochimaru.
I understood that reference.
*reverses that * there we go
Oh my god yes! I was just thinking that
my thoughts exactly haha
My God Tiffany's impatience with this dumb story is priceless!! lol This just made my morning, thank you!
*Looks at episode 9*
ethen emperors voice is great lol. awesome episode
Yeah this story has aged well, all things considering. I personally enjoyed it, thought the art style and character designs were neat. Story is alright, had a few parts that didn't make much sense, but most of it is actually pretty neat in my eyes.
I could seriously listen 2 the palpatine impression all day! Soo funny!
Ethan's impression of the Emperor is the funniest thing!
You know I’m a Star Wars nerd when I think Palpatine’s essence transference plan is stupid but at the same time love that the Sith cannot achieve the afterlife and must stay on the physical plane to live.
“Hey did you enjoy Justice League?” 43:59
Everyone's Emperor impressions had me bauling with laughter xD
This is the most animated I've seen Sal since his tie-in rant.
Sal as the emperor was something I didn't know I needed. I love when you cover Star Wars.
All the impressions of the emperor made this easily the most hilarious episode of Back Issues
This is probably my favorite Episode. The comic ain't no prize, but Sal was plugged in and killin' it that day. I've already watched it a couple of times.
I've probably watched this one and the other comic pop back issues star wars videos at least 3 dozen times since I discovered them about 3 years ago.
Luke does eventually have a son with Mara Jade. Also I liked this comic growing up, watching you guys rip into it was kinda difficult not gonna lie.
Happy to see Star Wars back on Back Issues, they're very interesting episodes because the people on the couch actually know most of the lore going in so Sal doesn't have to explain the basics to them.
I always love when the crew does a Star Wars book because I didn't read Star Wars so it's always a surprise
Feel the same way about every DC book lol.
Dr. Madd it's also hilarious 😂😂😂
That ending banter as the Emperor was hysterical!
Omg, emperor Sal and Ethan were the best thing about this episode, started laughing and didn't stop till it was done.
Would love to see more Star Wars ridiculous EU stuff from you guys!
Heartless fang lol well at least in came in second...or last.
TheRealZubes aww, well your contributions are always important to good episodes! You were hilarious in Spiderman/Batman (or vice versa) and in Your episode of Ghost Rider :D (FYI, I picked up the first 6 volumes of Saga because of your episodes
Heartless fang haha thank you! Ghost rider is easily one of my favorites! So glad you got into Saga!! 😄
I laughed more watching this video than I have in a long time. I laughed out loud every time you referred to Jedi as "magical wizards." Not to mention; "This is a waking nightmare, like that song One." I lost it... I still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Thank you for this wonderful episode.
50:30 might be one of the funniest moments in back Issues IMO. I was dead
ComicPOP has made Wednesday my favorite day of the week
I hear you. I used to hate hump day, but now. I look forward to it.
Yeah but now I hate Thursdays
That So Landon i save either back issues or the podcast for thursday
That So Landon watch one save the other
Characters turn blue because Manhattan 👀
This is one of the funniest episodes I've seen. Sal was killing me with the Emperor's readings. *Really* funny. Loved the episode.
Luke actually probably is with Yoda for several months. The Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive wasn't working and they had to travel to Bespin from the Hoth system on sublight engines. The planets are "close" but it's not like they're in the same solar system.
A "kamehameha" from tiffany? I'll take it!
ethans palpitine voice litteraly killed me we need more starwars books
The final part with the reference to the Metallica song is probably my favorite part, definitely a highlight of why I love back issues
Sal and Ethan's Emperor voices made my day.
I love Emperor Sal, “No it’s not magic you bitch!” Hahah
I belly laughed to the emperor expressions and was in tears by the end. Solid episode
52:40 Lol that's funny but there is magic, night sisters practice magic on Dathomir.
Still better than Disney’s Sequel Trilogy
For anyone curious, new canon said that the "b" in b-wings stands for "blade"
Oh my God, Palpatine is a Space Lich!
Slave 2 reminds me of the terrible Trek books where they just kept making Enterprises and adding ANOTHER damn letter! "Its the Enterprise S right next to the Slave 9 and the Millennium VULTURE!"
Like coming back home, Star Wars returns to back issues. Can't wait to watch this tomorrow. Nice gift after a long term at school.
I cried laughing twice this episode. You guys are amazing
Coming back to this months after ROSW is so cathartic. XD
Thank you so much for this episode. I remember as a kid seeing the part of this comic where the Emperor said he cloned his body in the Clone Wars and thinking "oh yeah, the Clone Wars was a thing vaguely mentioned in Star Wars." Then I never read the rest of this story, never really knew the context, and never thought about the Clone Wars again until Yoda said that they had begun.
Hahaha!!! Yeah what a bad idea... Cloning Palpatine?? Glad THATS not canon anymore!
The rise of skywalker : hello there
55:20 Ethan with that Soflo meme, this is becoming meta.
Watching this a few years later, it’s funny how many parallels you can draw to The Rise of Skywalker.
- The Emperor returns in a cloned body with war machines *even more deadly than the Death Star!*
- He assumes he seduces a Skywalker to the Dark Side and grants him vast resources without any proof of loyalty
- The Han Solo character has little to nothing to do the whole story.
- An old friend of the Han Solo character appears to sell him out, but then inexplicably helps him, even though *he* owes *them*.
- The Emperor keeps changing his mind on which Jedi he actually wants to seduce.
I’m sure there’s more I haven’t thought of. I mean, there’s gotta be *something* there, right? It can’t all be coincidence.
"Ridiculously circuitous" Take a drink! #ComicPopDrinkingGame
Oh my god this was hilarious! I love the emperor impressions ... best episode ever!
Emperor Salpatine is classic
I love these Star Wars episodes finally Ethan gets a character with the Emperor which makes these episodes worth watching several times.
I'm not even a star wars fan, but man this was funny as hell.
This is definitely on my top ten back issues now! The emperor impression was hilarious!
"I can't believe that didn't work this time...Even though it didn't work last time" lol
My Palpatine impression is Sal and Ethan's Palpatine impression
Somehow emperor palpatine returned
Freaking sal and Ethan emperor impression brings me to tears of laughter!!!
I was gonna watch the Infinity War trailer but eh... It can wait an hour and eleven minutes.
A Back Issues the same day as the Infinity War trailer? The Gods smile upon me lol
i spend the occasional lazy sunday binging older back issues and best of the worst episodes. good times
Salpatine > Salan Moore
The Star Wars Back Issues have had some of my favourite moments out of all the episodes you guys have done. The "waking nightmare" of Emperor Palpatine as a self aware fetus goes right along side the "hibernating" Tauntaun as some of the very best laugh out loud highlights of an awesome show.
I would love to see some of these little moments animated!
14:35 did you call me Sal?
In the old EU, Luke built a new order of Jedi, but unlike in the Force Awakens, it prospered.
Jonathan Shaw thats because the big mouse wanted a new new hope
Jonathan Shaw Until it didn't. The order was destroyed once again about one hundred years later within the "Legacy Era" comics.
Emma Kielty How so? Luke was only ever shown to be in a leadership role during the Battle of Hoth, where he led a group of snow-speeders on a poorly planned frontal assault on a group of AT-ATs.
Emma Kielty If Luke was the one who came up with that "plan" to rescue Han from Jabba's Palace, then that only reaffirms that Luke is not tactically inclined. He sent one to two people in at a time with little weaponry and no way to escape if need be. Then, he entered Jabba's Palace alone, still failing to have any intelligible exit strategy. Then, to make matters worse, he threatened a mob boss in front of dozens of armed thugs and mercenaries. The only reason they escaped alive is because they are the main characters.
Moreover, Luke was losing his fight with Darth Vader. The only reasons he won was because Vader didn't want to kill him and Luke gave in to his anger, which allowed him to briefly overwhelm him.
Maybe it's just me. But, none of that seems to indicate that Luke has his shit together.
voiceinthewind this. 100 percent.
5:31 Ethan emulates Jerry Seinfeld
I don’t know if you guys will see this, but this is such a good episode, I hope you guys do some more Dark Horse Star Wars stories soon!!
Thanks Manny!
@@comicpop Hey gang, you should definitely do more star wars EU content! Thank you for all the entertainment
So..... At the end of the day the emperor was defeated by the power of love?
As it should be.
"Ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of WUV, TWOO WUV."
This aged well.
I don’t know how it happened it was completely unexpected but this ended up being one of the best episodes ever!
"It's like a waking nightmare." Had me crying laughing.
I'm in love with Tiffany's cap. I shall begin a search to get my own
50:25 and onward 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sal’s emperor made me die laughing while I cleaned. 😂 Loved this episode. Keep up the awesome work. 👍
This episode was great. Sal and Ethan keep kicking ass..lol
Stay real and original👍
Freddy Zavala and I was there!
TheRealZubes but you didn't do the Palpatine voice..lmao
Freddy Zavala nope, because that's their thing and I respect that.
TheRealZubes well it's because you already kick so much ass, I have to lets Sal and Ethan know they're special too!!..lol and you're still my number one👊✊lol
Freddy Zavala that really kind of you to say! 😄
The later New Republic did create new capital ships. They were called Star Defenders. Booster Terrik had the red ISD-II.
This may be your funniest episode of back issues.
This is one of the funniest episodes of Back Issues. I think this is a great episode to show a friend that’s never heard of the show.
You know there is an audio drama version of this story and it is so much better.
I'm not a fan of Star Wars, but the way you narrate this story makes me rewatch this episode again and again. I think I've watched this episode at least 5 times.
I love these Star Wars episodes because it means that we get to see Ethan and Sal's terrific(?) Star Wars impressions.
Star Wars.
Emperor Sal is silly 😁 lol
For years I held out hope that Max Rebo survived (listen, I thought he was adorable when I was a kid).
You have crushed my dreams.
I'm not a huge star wars fan but I have to say that I really enjoyed this episode. Keep up the great work!
I really want to count how many times Sal is forced to say "So they fight" during a Back Issues episode
Sal’s emperor voice is legit one of my favorite things
