WRONG! They obviously gave a lot of thought into how they were gonna destroy Luke Skywalker’s character with the walrus fish cow, the trying to kill his own nephew, and just drop dead from Force usage. That, or they were on Death Sticks through the whole movie production
“They’re the Resistance, not the Rebels.” “What are they resisting?” “Being called a Rebellion apparently.” It’s the little things that make me laugh the hardest, but this whole skit was great! Love the little digs at the sequels, props to them for remembering the name of Not-Coruscant that got blown up.
@@jiyuhong5853 No, Zeltros is a planet in the old Star Wars EU that was home to the Zeltrons, pink-skinned near-humans who, through the Force, could sense and influence the emotions of those around them. However, the influence is subconscious and works both ways, so on Zeltros they are encouraged to always be happy and positive in order to create the ideal emotional feedback loop. Because of this, Zeltrons are (reasonably) stereotyped to be super horny, and Zeltros is literally a giant party planet, especially if you're a tourist. "He lasted three days on that planet. I've never seen such a happy corpse." - I bet you haven't, buddy!
@@tatooinenative860 What's a little funny is I'm only vaguely familiar with Zeltrons' actual appearances in the old Canon, I run a Star Wars D&D campaign and one of the important NPCs my players have met is a Zeltron Imperial Admiral who reports directly to Thrawn, so I did research to flesh her out as a character. Zeltrons have been one of my favorite Star Wars races ever since.
I just *LOVE* the Disney dig - TKFKU: ""That dream sounds a little unstructured," replied by TKFNG: "Yeah it was like I was just making it up as I went along."
Disney had clearly no idea about to make a coherent story. If they made at least and hermetic empire still clinging to the New Order, at least It would be reasonable that they return to pay back....now I am not sure they pay back their initial investimenti...let them go broke
Is it just me, or was the live action ad at the end just the world's best excuse to have FNG's and 69's voice actor and actress write off their brand new Stormtrooper armor as business expenses on their taxes? I applaud such accounting :)
He was able to survive 3 Days on Zeltron?! MAN! I know this man was a Veteran and a Badass but this... even more respect. And i got slowly the Feeling someone have a lil' bit bigger connection to the force than we may think...

I hate to say this, but now you have set the expectation of a Star Wars Christmas special!!! You better not give hope and hold back on us AFK!!! You hear me...
since i was alive when Star Wars (no episode IV tag) came out, and reading lots of stuff by and about Lucas, 7,8,9 seemed a lot more like just using Georges 'original' plot notes. Starlog #7 boys !
Retiring with the zeltrons...sounds like good, if possibly brief fun. And glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks the new troopers look like upgunned Howard the ducks.
The level of detail and the storylines are just outstanding on these. I truly feel Star Wars needs this! Its taken itself far too seriously and it is SCREAMING for some satire. This scratches that itch! Amazong work as always!
This is effn brilliant!! I really hope anyone currently in charge of the STAR WARS IP, is listening, retaining & implementing corrections to the IP moving forward!!
How to roast the entire sequel trilogy while actually being funny! Love how older FNG is all “I’m gonna go find an escape ship, I know how this ends.” 😆 Side note does this mean that the series will be following the EU timeline? We already got Mara Jade and Captain Palleon after all. Imagine FKU or FNG were used as templates for the Grand Admiral Thrawn’s cloning program during the Thrawn trilogy.
I recall that there was this Guy that write an entire series named "For the Domination" based off FKU, FNG and 069 fighting for Jar-Jar Dark Empire versione on DeviantArt, Perhaps It Is not the best but at least It was written with some passion..heck I. Don't know you but apart of "For the Empire" the others Star Wars contents seen pretty souless to me
I love this. All the digs and jabs. Just genius. But for some reason I can't not hear the veterans voice in the rookie, and the rookie being a veteran feels like a stab at the heart.
A retired Senator, her antique translator Droid and a Ragtag band of musical Theatre Hippies. had me rolling, almost as much as 69 leaving FNG for a guy with 2 mouths.
Hmph. I grew so used to not paying attention to stormtroopers’ designations that the meaning of FNG’s sailed over my head for years. Even though I got called it a lot when I was young.
Totally got me. I thought FKU and 69 were dead. THANK GOD it was just a bad dream as we can't lose TNG, FKU or 69. Just can't. That would be like losing Han, Leia and Luke...and we all saw what that did to DISNEY Star Suck. This was hysterical. You have some great comedic writers who know their OG Star Wars shit. AFK is the ONLY Star Wars worth watching since the OG Trilogy. You hit it out of the park again....as usual. Well done guys.
@@jenniferbrewer5370 Actually no. The only Disney SW I've seen has come from watching YT reviewers rip those movies to pieces. Same with Rings of Power, She-Hulk, Velma, Wheel of Time, Echo, ALL of Phase 4 M-She-U. and ANYTHING from KennedyFilm. I don't do DEI crap and never have spent a penny on any of that crap or contributed a second of my time to watch a single episode of anything from Disney, Marvel or KennedyFilm. It's ALL unwatchable.
Man holy sh** i will be honest i avoided this at first not a fan of holiday specials. Yet you have again struck gold. I havent even finished the video but having fng trying to mimic pops is so perfect. I hope he is just talking smack and our other two main characters are ok. This is so insane how intrigued i am by no name storm troopers in a story that has no bearing on the universe. You got talent and if disney had a single brain cell to work with you would be writing there shows. Thank you for making good star wars content please keep doing what your doing!
Moff Je..jerr..jejeje... I think I first learned he had a name when studying the credits of RotJ. That poor VHS didn't stand a chance with all the rewinding and pausing I did - "WHO IS THIS CHARACTER?! Gotta be the Death Star guy, he's the only one I can't find!"
So what we have here is likely FKU having some kind of Force vision from the persepctive of FNG, then transitions to him waking up as FNG in his dream, then waking up for real. That's one hell of a Force vision.
Evidently, FNG is a latent force sensitive and under the influence of the "blue noodles" is able to see possible futures. Would explain him, FKU and 69 surviving all the shite they've been through, as well. I did say possibe. Maybe the sequel trilogy doesn't happen? "Somehow, they were de-canonized" Mwuh-hah-hah Banging stuff, peoples. Thanks 👍🏻
I'll put Money on that or at least there would be a lot of support in that direction. I Remember that there was this dude that write on Deviantart a series based on For the Empire named "For the Domination", which is actually a what-if scenario mixing Canon and Legend where Dark Jar Jar lead the "Domination" against the New Republic. It Is not the best structured, but well there a few Lines good especially when FKU lead the assault on Corusant.
Lol this was amazing! I was cackling at all the sequel roasts. Including the rebels being called musical theater hippies. Also FNG being the old jaded trooper was both hilarious and slightly disturbing. I’m looking for an escape ship. I know how this ends. I also can’t decide if FKU’s supposed death was funny, sad, or fitting. A bit of all 3 I think.

WRONG! They obviously gave a lot of thought into how they were gonna destroy Luke Skywalker’s character with the walrus fish cow, the trying to kill his own nephew, and just drop dead from Force usage.
That, or they were on Death Sticks through the whole movie production
Yeah flawless!!... unlike Disney Star Wars!! 😅
I’m amazed that the producers of this can produce something so much better than a Disney product.
The Disney movies were like a teenager copying a smart kid’s work and throwing some odd stuff in to make it his.
I like how "older" FNG is using "son" to the recruit... ;-)
“I could never have predicted such tragic outcomes for all of us. It really subverted my expectations.”
😂😂😂
Wasn't Kathleen Kennedy the one who said that?
I believe it was ruin johnson *cough* "tosser" *cough*

“What are they resisting?”
“Being called a Rebellion apparently.”

That ain't happening. They just don't have romantic chemistry. Then again, neither did Anakin and Padme and that happened 😂
I hope they do, I like to think that their voice actors are together lol
I really hope they do
Love how they changed voices. Veteran is the rookie and rookie is the veteran.

I was beaming when I heard about FKU's rockstar death and immediately switched to depression when he talked about 069. FNG's seen a lot💔
Just like a Farmers insurance agent. *Insert Farmers insurance jingle*
Makes Halloween special. The scary part is that the sequel trilogy exists. I needed that today.
But we got Lando and Wedge back though. Fun Fact Wedge is played by Ewan McGregor's real life Uncle.

"it's like I was just making it up as I went along" (at 5:20 ish) LOL!! brilliant!
