Star Wars: Retold by Someone Who Never Saw It

[Susan Arendt]

...Well, "Eewok" originated as a palindrome for "Wookie", so she's right about Chewbacca.

True. The original idea was for Endor to be a planet of Wookies, but once Lucas had established the character of Chewbacca, he felt he couldn't do that. (Not sure why, to be honest.) And so we got Ewoks instead.

That's awesome
This was better then the newer 3 movies at least.
I like This [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4] better though.


EDIT: To respond to the guy below me. I think it's because they could have been so much more. I liked episode 3 and 2 had some good points.
I mainly added the second line so I wasn't just posting a couple of words.

That was freaking awesome!

as for the video, the images made me laugh a lot, as well at the
"Hans"
"Han"

part.

funny as.....
loved the editing and pitures.
Good bit of fun.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

why does every1 always make fun of the newer starwars movies,
i personally liked them better than the original ones, (fell asleep during movie 5 x_x)

No, you are wrong. I know this an opinion, but its wrong.

 

[Avatar Roku]

I haven't watched the trilogy since I was a little kid, but that sounded pretty accurate.

Not even close. And that's ignoring the fact that she mostly confused the order of the second and third movies.

 

[Zallest]

Why am i laughing and filled with rage at the same time...

That's not a palindrome its an almost anagram. Kind of a phonetic anagram. Which is weird.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean. I thought you should know.

It was sarcasm. Haven't you seen the Dead Parrot sketch? "The palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob!"

A palindrome:"Racecar = racecaR"

An anagram: "Tom Marvolo Riddle = I am Lord Voldemort".

"Eewok" was originally "Wookie" spelled backwards. Ergo, a palindrome.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Really funny, surprised at how that Star Wars would have been. I can't tell which would have been better, mainly because Hans Solo sounds bad ass.

Isn't it obvious?
What would you rather see, an army of three-foot teddy bears illogically defeating an army of stormtroopers?
Or an army of three-metre grizzly bears tearing them limb from limb?
I know what I'd choose.

I'm also laughing at the people here getting offended because someone has the gall to not know about Star Wars

Oh, and is it just me, or did she not mention Vader being Luke's dad?

 

[nathan-dts]

The 3 year old was more accurate than her.

I liked the two second prequels more than Return of the Jedi or Star wars. But then again I think everything Lucas touches turns to crap and am not really big into the series.

 

[Scarecrow38]

I thought she had a really good crack at it. I like how she picked up on the sublte sexual tension between Han and Luke that George Lucas only alluded to in a few critical moments during the 6 films.

 

[Fightgarr]

And somehow she manages to forget "I am your father" probably the most famous movie quote in history.

 

[neoman10]

Dark side of the moon... lol.

yes that was great

 

[Meanmoose]

That was amusing

 

[Jharry5]

That was pretty funny, especially the Hans/Han bit.

But the people who are ripping her; Star Wars isn't really everyone's cup of tea. I've met people that hate it with an unnerving passion...

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

"Then Hans and Luke made out and...chewy growled...the end."

PERFECT!

You seem to understand the concept of palindromes, but you're still wrong. Wookie backwards would be Eikoow. Eikoow isn't like Ewok. However:

1 2 3 4 5 6
W o o k i e

6 1 2 4
E w o k

They dropped an o and the i, and moved the E to the front.

Palindrome: Word spelled the same backwards and forwards. You named my favorite example, racecar.

Anagram: Word who's letters can be rearranged to form a new word. I'm too tired to think of an example right now, but a quick google should give you a few examples.
