This show was fucking genius. I love how it's like robot chicken yet it's child friendly, but it's still funny. And this was one of the most memorable ones.
@@ZeepAtomic You do know that George Lucas was pretty heavy on marketing Star Wars as much as Disney when he owned it. Sure he didn't made a bunch of TV shows, but there were a bunch of video games, books, comics, toys, and constant re-releases of the OT that adds new stuff to the movies whether for better immersion or just adding random CG garbage for some reason. There's a reason why people dislike the de-canonization of the EU when Disney bought it. There's like hundreds of mediums that were made under George's ownership and these all exist as products to buy. Sure many of them were great like Force Unleash, Jedi Academy, and others but they exist for the same reason Mandalorian and Rogue One was made, to make money from Star Wars fans and expanding an audience to make more money. Star Wars is a great IP, but it would have never existed if it weren't for merchandises considering how big their budget were.
@@AgentA113 and yet you corrected them. It's like angrily correcting someone who told a knock knock joke by telling them "but nobodies at the damn door you idiot!". That's what you sound like
I watched Clone Wars since the beginning, and for whatever reason even before this sketch I always thought Ahsoka looked like Garfield. Seeing this and knowing someone else felt the same was mindboggling back in the day.
Well yeah, that was initially the point. It was supposed to have a "Thunderbirds" feel to it, all the characters wooden, everything hand painted, and then they slowly moved away from that and went more realistic with it.
Anyone else suddenly started getting Garfield Ashoka in the feeds and wanted to look up the source? I am not complaining, i would have never found this otherwise. Though it is strange that it started recommending this over 10 years later.
@@Mick_92 I think a lot of people knew about George Lucas making Star Wars detour except the kids who were watching the show. Detours was cancelled and immediately forgotten until the same kids grew into adults and learned about the cancelled show. This skit is basically acknowledging the show's existing rather than predicting George making an animated sitcom
@@Voltar Correction you can never have enough GOOD Star Wars content. Disney has been shitting out Star Wars for years and people are sick of it because it's always mediocre at best and insulting at worst.
@@lessalazar9068 They spent billions of dollars acquiring it, have spent a lot on 5 movies, 4 TV shows, countless novels, and 4 videogames. Not to mention the whole ass Amusement park they built, where they literally immerse the customer into the universe. Every person who works at Lucasfilm and helps with Star Wars isn't there for the money. They genuinely care about Star Wars. If they truly only cared about the money we would start seeing Christmas specials, Ewoks: Caravan of Courage, and Star Wars: Detours stuff. Oh wait, we already saw all three of those when George Lucas still ran the place. Not to mention nearly all of his prequel designs were the way they were for the sole purpose of selling toys. George stopped giving a fuck about Star Wars the second the 3D rendition of TPM flopped and his toy sales started dwindling. Thats why he sold the rights to it.
ImperialSpence thank the maker someone isn’t a moron and actually looks at what’s been done throughout both George and Disney’s ownership of Star Wars. Although many people aren’t that happy with Disney’s time owning Star Wars, I really wonder what it would be like now if George didn’t sell it. Considering George Lucas’ attitude towards Star Wars in 2012, we might have gotten even more things like Detours and Ewok movies.
George trooper: You- take their lightsabers. You- create a video game. You- make an animated sitcom. I want a bounty hunter clothing line by the end of th week. Ahsoka: I hate Mondays. (six fetts music plays).
If you're talking about the marketing stuff, it was always there way before Disney ever considered buy Star Wars. George Lucas was really heavy into marketing Star Wars ever since A New Hope. He puts a lot of emphasis in merchandising as that's the real form of income for his movies to make. There's a reason why there's a clone army of George Lucas and not an army of Micky Mouses. Disney wasn't the only one exploiting Star Wars, George was the first but he focus mostly on video games, novels, comics, and other that are not as noticable as TV shows and Movies as seen in Disney. But he always relied on merchandise as a stable income for his IP for decades way before Disney made a deal with him. This skit didn't aged like wine, it aged like water as it's always relevant no matter what
@@kcjc Okay, I just noticed a lot of people trying to compare this skit to Disney milking Star Wars when the joke itself is literally George Lucas doing the same thing. It was a bit of a rant because it seems a lot of people had forgotten how Star Wars as a marketing force under George's control
There’s a lot of great stuff in this skit, Palpatine doing the Six Flags dance among the greatest, but I’m partial to this exchange: “I’m the bounty hunter known as Bad Name.” “Guessing ‘Bad Outfit’ was already taken.”
This is why MAD was a great comedy show, no dry humor TTG has. I admit they sometimes had the same TTG humor but they used that and got super creative My cousin, who was 16 in 2010, laughed a couple of times while watching this show and he was more into serious Sci-Fi shows
@@carlosmaldonado5697 In Star Wars, for the Jedi and I suppose the Sith there are different combat forms that also double as schools of thought; you can tell a lot about a Jedi by the form they choose to hone in on. Dooku was the master of combat form II, or Makashi. Its the purist lightsaber duelists form of choice with the real world analog being akin to fencing and sword dueling where precise strikes/parries and footwork are paramount. An elegant, sophisticated style for a likewise character. Dooku was one of the greatest duelists of the Jedi order, to the point he could hold his ground against Yoda and in a few sparring sessions managed to best him.
@@lufsolitaire5351 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I see now. I'm getting back into star wars and I just finished last Jedi. I just watched all the 6 ep movies and now I'm watching 7, 8, and finally I'm about to watch rise of Skywalker and so far I hate the ones Disney made. They make me mad
For some reason I can't stop watching this video. I loved watching MAD when I was little, and I wrote my own MAD stories, and I'm really good at writing stories.
Can we just commend Disney for completing the Emperor’s plan of buying out the Star Wars universe purely for financial gain and building an amusement park? Truly the scarred Sith Lord would be proud
To all of you saying that MAD was like Robot Chicken for kids... Remember, the whole show was based on the MAGAZINE of the same name that was BEFORE Robot Chicken.
Bad Name: I'm the Gounty Hunter known as Bad Name! Manikan: Guessing Bad outfit was already taken. Bad Name: (Mocking) I'm guessing Bad Outfit was already taken! Manikan: Old jedi mind trick. Band Name: It wasn't a jedi mind trick! I was clearling mocking you! But I am free for general lawn care and landscaping. (Pause) Bad Name: Really? Not interested THEN DIE! That entire scene was funny.
