All I can say is:
That was twelve different kinds of awesomesauce and there were only seven of them known about. One of the best Star Wars parodies I've ever seen, and from Arendt to Sterling, an awesome job by all of you.
It makes me want to install X-Wing. And that takes a lot considering how much I dislike that game.
(Okay, I liked X-Wing, but when I installed TIE Fighter it was light years beyond its predecessor and that's not even factoring in graphics.)
EDIT: For some odd reason I thought Sterling was before Stark. My apologies, Jim your performance cracked me up as much as the rest.

That was laugh out loud hilarious! I bet it was a nerdgasm dream come true for Bob to be Darth Vader hehe
Thank you so much guys for the amazing skit, Ashley's bit was actually my favorite but I'm fast developing a sweet spot for her cheesey dorkiness anyway . (Dont tell my girlfriend!)

Holy shit. I'm so disappointed now that she wasn't R2 now for no other reason than to be able to make that pun. Gah.lacktheknack said:
Yeah, after a second viewing, I realized Susan was one of the operators. Now that I think about it, I don't remember if Princess Leia had many or any lines during that whole sequence other than *concern face*, but yeah the dots line was pretty perfect for her even if the guy saying it really didn't have a name. Wait, what am I saying? It's Star Wars. Everyone in every frame of that film has been named and has at least three novels based solely around them written by Timothy Zahn by now.
You could see the original pilots behind their heads, I just imagined they were sitting on someone's lap.
Also, the casting was perfect, there was never a doubt in my mind that Yahtzee as going to voice Obi Wan, it made too much damn sense not to happen.
The people who think R2D2 sounded like Susan Arendt are crazy.

The great thing is that now that it's been done, it can never return!
Except as a short film during this year's expo.
Hey, give me some credit. When I heard the "Not the face!" line from Janelle2-D2, to me it sounded nearly identical to whenever Susan starts imitating what she thinks her dog is thinking in almost any given podcat.OlasDAlmighty said:
Dammit. "Arendt2D2" is genius. I'm kind of ashamed none of us thought of it.
Fortunately, Janelle did such an incredible job as R2 it hardly matters.

i had to strain myself to force a chuckle... this was a great idea in theory, but the differing comedic styles of each content maker didn't fit this skit at all, except for the LRR crew.
the effort is appreciated and a nice gesture towards the community, however this kind of skit was way beyond the ability of whoever directed it, and the editing was atrocious, the timing for the bad jokes was no where near fitting.
a great idea, i hope that this wont be the last time we get content like this, hopefully with better execution... just be careful you guys don't turn into "that guy with the glasses" team. Despite many of the personalities of the video makers being very appealing, they are not as interesting as the original content they provide, in my opinion.
