Very entertaining though. My guess as to why it hasn't been submitted until now is that it used to come with a bunch of pr0n popups. It no longer does... and strangely, I no longer go to that site.... mmmmmmmmm... bytemail chicks....
I've seen this kind of thing before with Pulp Fiction. It was mixed with and adult film and called Pulp Friction. Seriously.
Er, okay, that sounds even more loserly than general, doesn't it?
Anyhow, very good stuff. I mean, it was a little lame at times (yeah, Pulp Fiction seeded with Star Wars terminology!), but I'm definately sending it to my non-geek friends when the /. effect wears off. Then again, I'm pretty loaded, so this is opinion is obviously open to revision sometime tomorrow morning around 11.
Crap, I'm getting modded down for this, aren't I? Oh yeah, well my UID is lower than yours, smart guy.
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
Suggestion: Try watching it fuckin' plastered. Makes dealing easier, plus you get to drink a bunch of Caffrey's.

Check out Episode 14's preloader game for some Jar-Jar Binks bashing fun!
Wow, these are pretty bad. They didn't really even change any of the plot, or dialog. Just substituted in SW characters doing Pulp Fiction line for line.
If you want Pulp Fiction, go rent it. If you want a SW parody, go rent Space Balls.
one of the episodes (number 17 I think) makes a reference to another star wars spoof here.
There are actually a lot of good sw spoofs out there; just a matter of looking at places like atomfilms and ifilms. but be warned, there are also a lot of terrible ones
Okay, I got through about five issues before I couldn't stand it anymore. I've seen Pulp Fiction many times, I've seen Ep.I. No change in dialog wore on me, but the drawing is someone stimulating.
I suppose I would have gone through the whole thing if it weren't for the splash intro for each episode. Gah, I admire the person who went to the effort, but create a set without the splash intro for each issue!

Take a look at that comment. See how they said exactly what you said, only about a half hour earlier? This mean that you should have your formulated your own unique thoughts rather than echoing another /.er.
Of course, I'm f*cking loaded, so time is progressing at odd speeds for me, but I still think you're just "Me Too!"ing your way across the board.
And my UID is still lower than yours.

It's close enough. You can find lots of translations of the Bible. One of the most common misquotes you hear at Christmas time, when people say "peace on earth and good will twords men", when it's actually "peace on earth twords men of good will", now there's actually a different meaning behind that. I can deal with slight deviations. Translating things from one language to another is a pain in the fanny.
The 'Vincent/Maul' charactor should have been a Wookie. That would have made for an interesting dialogue.
In later chapters you get to play little games while the chapter is loading. Chptr 14 you get to beat Jar Jar, another you can shoot Jawas, another you get to blast Tie Fighters.
i dont care what your UID is, your an asshole. you shouldnt post when youre drunk obviously.
Time for some tasty Shiner Bock!
This SW/Resevoir Dogs parody..
Not only is it a word-for-word redux of Pulp Fiction with Star Wars characters, it SOUNDS like it was read off of a script. The Darth Maul character was so pathetically nasally I barely made it through the entire thing without wanting to choke him.
ALTHOUGH:
The animation and drawings were decent. There were some issues with timing, but in all it was okay. I applauded the character choices as well.
IN CONCLUSION:
Getting a better soundman or sound software (sound forge rules!) AND better people who know their lines instead of reading it off a script, would have made the entire thing a ton better.
I'd give it 1.5 stars out of 4.
I agree. And the most annoying thing is the intro and exit "trailers". Look, I want to watch your stuff, just bloody well stream it to me!

Last but not least, all of the other animated crap on the screen - banner ads, other flash things that just loop through an animation sequence for no good reason - GAGH!
Look, I understand having the banner ads - a man's got to pay for his bandwidth (especially when being
Besides - "... double barreled lightsabres..." ?!?!?! Considering one of the characters is a Darth Maul parody, it should have been

Very, very, depressing.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.

Animated crap on the screen got you down? Look at the source for the .swf url.
Add /episodes/1.swf to the url and you just get the episode, scaled to the whole browser window to boot.
Can't do anything about the intro trailer. Sheesh, after about 3 of them I was sick of looking at Uma/Natalie...

I guess if you mix two so-so films, you get a not-so-so film?
