George Lucas Strikes Back

Some more humour on a Sunday. I missed the release of this gem back in May but glad I’ve found it now.

Have a look and a laugh:

Now if only they’d release the full movie!

Darth Vader Meets Alien

I love me a good Star Wars T-Shirt and here’s yet another one I’m going to be tempted to buy:

It’s aptly titled “Are You My Father” and if you’re up for a purchase yourself, here’s where to buy it.

Ten of the best: Star Wars parodies

It’s time for another one of our regular humor posts. This time I thought I’d go in deep and pick the ten best videos that parody Star Wars. Obviously it’s objective and feel free to add your own picks in the comments. In the meantime, enjoy:

1. Injured Stormtrooper

2. Star Wars Help Desk

3. Lego Star Wars – The New Guy

4. Never Call Me At Work

5. Chad Vader : Day Shift Manager – A Galaxy Not So Far Away

(If you haven’t watched Chad Vader before, you haven’t lived. Check out all the episodes)

6. Star Wars Episode 3: A Lost Hope

7. Grocery Store Wars

8. Empire State of Mind

9. Interrogation Droid

10. Star Wars: The Empire Brokeback

Darth Vader at his scariest

It’s time for a little more general Star Wars humour. There’s not a lot more to say about this:

Yoda and Ewoks do mix

Being Easter it’s time for some humour, and thanks to a t-shirt designer here’s something to have a chuckle over. It’s a drawing of Yoda and an Ewok and their offspring.

If you don’t recognise the kidlet, have a look here and then the joke may make sense. Check out the full-size design here.

Language localization in SWTOR: the joke’s on you

On April 1st,  you obviously know what that means:  April Fools day.

Last year we got the Sarlacc Enforcer update –  this year we got an update over the localization of Star Wars: The Old Republic into Shyriiwook, the native tongue of the Wookies. This faux update includes three videos of the Shyriiwook version of SWTOR and a new HUD skin that is pretty much a fur ball. Other than this small April Fool’s joke no real content was posted to the site by Bioware, and as usual half the community took the joke and the other half are outraged that the release date wasn’t revealed.

No matter which side of this argument you’re on, be sure to check out the funny videos and HUD skin here on SWTOR’s official site.

I personally like these funny updates, the game will drop when Bioware and Lucas Arts decide it’s ready, so enjoy this update and may the Force be with you.

 

Demotivational Darth Vader

Just a quick post with some broader Star Wars humour. I love me a good (de)motivational poster and they don’t get much better than this one:

Talking to your kids about Star Wars

The folks over at Asylum have created a brilliant video on the very sensitive topic of when to introduce the concept of Star Wars to your kids. There’s not a lot more to say although a highlight for me is the section on Jar Jar Binks and the Special Edition movies.

A big thanks to Darka on the forums for the link!

You’ve got to love Star Wars humour

One of the best things about any well established genre is the satire developed by its community. The best stuff comes when two iconic movies are mixed together.

Take last year’s Full Metal Star Wars – Gunnery Sgt Vader for example. If you’ve seen Full Metal Jacket, you’ll remember the character of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. He makes an appearance in Star Wars, with great effect in the video below.

Enjoy, but a warning: this is in no way safe for work and contains very frequent explicit language:
