The Light Side

You know, I've been so disappointed with the first two Star Wars prequels that I'm not at all sure I'm even going to bother watching the third one. But this I would sure as hell go and see: Star Wars Epsiode III: Yoda Goes Nuts and Hides in the Swamp. Not only is it a dead-on brilliant parody, but it actually ties all the continuity stuff together.

A couple of samples:

Anakin: "Chancellor Palpatine, you've always given me good advice. Three years ago during the Jedi Padawan athletics contest-"

Palpatine: "I remember you got first prize, of all the Padawans in the Order."

Anakin: "And I'd never have thought of spiking their drinks beforehand if you hadn't suggested it. And last year, when I was having trouble convincing that Bothan renegade to tell me what he knew about the Twi'lek slave trade-"

Palpatine: "His information did prove vital to exposing the slave traders, yes."

Anakin: "And you were exactly right, I didn't even have to cut off his other testicle. You always know exactly what I should do. Not like Master Yoda and those others, 'anger leads to suffering, violence leads to hate, hiding spy-cams in the Senate to look up Amidala's dress leads to'-"

Or how about:

Eeth Koth: "I believe what Master Yoda is trying to say, Master Windu, is that we all appreciate the great skill and wisdom you bring to this Council, but shut up."

Windu: "You starting something, horn-head? Come on, I'll take you all!"

Adi Gallia (doing JMT hand motion): "You need to go to the bathroom."

Windu (squirms in seat): "One at a time, or all together! All the same to me!"

Adi Gallia (JMT hand motion): "Really badly. Your bladder is about to explode."

Windu bolts from the Council chamber.
