Space Janitors: Episode One
- Thread starter Space Janitors
- Start date
I was enjoying it until it got to the Star Wars bit, then I just felt like I was on the internet. Ooh a Star Wars parody! How original. BUT: it was pretty damn well-written and acted and filmed, all you need to do is (ironically?) tighten up the graphics a little. Otherwise, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Don't disappoint me. I'm a nobody on the internet.
This. I was hoping when it was announced it would be an actual MST3K prequel-type, and well it wasn't I guess, but it did come awful close. I very much doubt Dark Lord or whoever he is will look anything like Dr Forester, though. Maybe TV's Frank.Purplecoyote said:
They better introduce a character at least NAMED Roger Wilco. This doesn't have to be a Space Quest type series, but anything to do with janitors in space has to include a character named Roger Wilco. 
Look forward to more.

Wow, I loved that, really really intriguing!
I think Dastardly summed it up for me, this show has understated humour instead of "HEY HEY DID YOU GET THAT JOKE BTW TOTALLY ACTUALLY?" that some other shows have.
Congrats to the peeps making this show, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this, and now I have to wait 6 whole weeks for the follow up? YOU BIG TEASE YOU!

Was that a Space Balls reference at the beginning? You sly dogs. Usually the knock-off brand anything grates on me but when it's the point I just can't stay mad at it. Good work, boys. But you missed a spot. Don't let it happen again or I'll dock you another Imperial Digit.
This looks great, been waiting for another real "series" to come along. The dialogue was a bit slow, but the humor was good, and all the little references kept me interested. Patches from Reboot, the Squall Troopers with Mjolnir helmets, and the rebels instantly reminded me of Mal and Zoe from Firefly.
I want to see more of this, it's got tons of potential.

Pretty good, however I seem to remember all the cleaning work done by droids in Star Wars. There are just human maintenance who keep all the droids running.
Of course, this isn't Star Wars.

First thing in my mind too. Which was worrying, because when the "now if you want to talk probe droids..." line came up I got a horrible mental image involving Scutters.MorganL4 said:
OT: Shows promise guys, looking forward to the next episode.
Not bad Escapist not bad at all, but there better be a nod to the original space janitor, Roger Wilco.
So I really liked it, but I got a weird feel from the production. The video seemed fairly low budget, which is fine but between the credits, the blurb bellow the video, and some other stuff it felt like it was some larger budget production. Now maybe this pilot was a low budget trial (as they often are) and I'll get a better feel latter, but I'm unclear on the scope of this.
Also, am I the only one who finds it weird that they are going to be posting behind the scenes content before the actual episodes. If people haven't seen your series yet why do you think they will want to see how it is made, that sort of stuff is usually a way to benefit from an existing fan base, not to create a new one.

This was mildly entertaining, but I think it'll be a show carried by the star wars fandom rather then it's own merits.
