Star Wars Detours.... I dont even....

[EHKOS]

The style looks like sith, but I still found it humorous. It's the self-parody part I like.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

I don't get why people are so pissy. Why is Star Wars the only franchise that isn't allowed to self parody?

 

[Bat Vader]

Apparently it was developed by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich. The two guys behind Robot Chicken. It makes sense why a lot of the actors from Robot Chicken are also doing this.

I must admit I thought some of the jokes were pretty funny. I have faith in those two and that they will make this show funny.

 

[Piflik]

This is actually quite good. It has a consistent art direction, good animations, some not only good, but even clever jokes...

I'm not sure, but I think many here just hate it, because it is currently en vogue to hate anything Star Wars that is not the original cut of the original trilogy...

 

[kasperbbs]

I'm not much of a Star Sars fan and i didn't find it that bad. I'm not saying that i'm gonna watch this, but i think kids might like it. It's funny watching fans rage over it, if it's really so terrible then it will fail and will be canceled, if not then just don't watch it and it wont bother you.

 

[Helloo]

Oh come on; if Admiral Ackbar's "trap" part didn't tickle your funny bone, then you need to lighten up and stop taking the Star Wars series so seriously.

I mean, George Lucas certainly didn't after the first 3 movies...

Zingg..



Anyway.. Personally, I enjoyed the trailer and it seems like a great parody film. I'm curious to see more.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

That's about all I can think of for this... I sincerely hope that Seth Green had very little to do with this, Robot Chicken was hilarious but this just isn't funny in the slightest...

 

[Radoh]

I don't know, I haven't really taken anything from Star Wars seriously since the original trilogy anyways, so why not? It had a few bits that I found funny, so this may be a thing I pay attention to.

*Waves hand*
You all loved the trailer and look forward to seeing its inevitable success

Seriously though, I got a smile/chuckle out of some of the gags, its certainly not worth flipping out over.

 

[chiggerwood]

Quick question: Is it wrong to wish nut cancer on everyone involved with project?

 

[Jegsimmons]

Yeh.

Speaks for itself don't it.

I believe this is appropriate

ill, admit......this was funny as shit. Seth Green is awesome.


for everyone mad at this....lighten the hell up.

 

[thelonewolf266]

I was expecting to hate it but I thought the Admiral Ackbar bit was fucking funny and I think the animation is actually pretty good looking.

 

[Ramikadyc]

As long as this show doesn't affect the expanded universe I don't care.

 

[The Funslinger]

Yeh.

Speaks for itself don't it.

Over reaction much?

If this was a third party who made this sort of spoof, you'd people would probably be absolutely fine with it - excited with it. Think Robot Chicken and Family Guy, only a dedicated series that also happens to be produced by a first party.

I can't say I'm super excited about this because it seems to be almost a comedy for younger audiences. But still. The over-reaction from the star wars fanbase is hilarious.

EDIT: I was gonna mention/find an article where Moviebob delves into this topic but I'm too lazy. needless to say he does. You should find it for me. lol.

You mean his remark on the dancing mini game? Yeah, if that had been a clear third party parody, people would have creamed for it.

It's not the work of a thousand muscular slaves to ignore that cannon remark (I'd like the source on that, actually) and with that in mind, this could be amusing.

Calm your passion, fellas.

 

[Chemical Alia]

That wouldn't have been so bad, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't laugh once. Is this going to be a television show or something?

 

[Cabisco]

I like it, I honestly really like it and I'm happy the Robot Chicken lot are doing this. Sure it's art styles not amazing but I think I'll adjust to that quickly and find myself laughing.

I'm surprised some people seem so angry at this to be honest.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well I do like myself some parody from time to time, but it still needs to be good parody... this is not.
The worst part is this will have it's very own franchise sub branch with TV series and games included.

It's Star Wars. I'm sure there were people who got angry when Knights of the Old Republic was announced because it was taking place in a completely different era from the established one we already knew. People got angry at Anakin Skywalker being characterized as a pissy, angry teenager when his character was supposed to be at the age of being a pissy, angry teenager who had lived in slavery his whole life, and whose mother was still a slave after his own freedom had been bargained for. And then he watched her die in his arms. If that's not reason enough to be angsty, then I don't know what is.

Yeah, this looks like it's just Robot Chicken Star Wars: For Kids! so I don't see anything wrong with it. And it's not done by Lucasfilms. And it's not the worst thing we've ever seen happen to Star Wars.

 

[loc978]

Eh. it's not that bad... pretty much Disney meets Family Guy on a Star Wars set... occasional kid-friendly funny moments with a lot of padding (I say this after watching the youtube playlist [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8BA6CF6978B4E2C1&feature=plcp]... the trailer kind of represents condensed padding).
Still, most of the funny moments just involve out-of-character application of cliches...

I've gotta admit, though... I find Obi-Wan as a dirty old man hilarious.

 

[Jaime Silva]

I dunno... I kinda liked it. I thought the Admiral Ackbar thing was hilarious and I had the giggles throughout the rest of the trailer after that. I'm gonna give it a chance cause I see potential here for a genuinely funny show. But who knows, maybe it'll suck.
