Trixie: Expert Sith Lord

[Yellow Diamond 7,569]

 

 

I just messed around in Adobe and this popped out. Little effort was put into this other than synching the audio with the video (which was remarkably easy).

 

Revenge of the Sith is so laughably terrible and awesome at the same time.

[AegisReflector 886]

The scene where Trixie unleashes her weak lightning attack on Rainbow Dash that tickles her actually reminded me of the scene in Episode 3 where Palpatine UNLEASHES HIS FULL POWAAAAA!!! against Mace Windu and shoots him out of the window, with Trixie's lines being replaced by Palpatine, of course lol.

 

Good work! I'll say it as well, the prequel trilogy were some of the most massive disappointments in the history of science fiction, but some dialogue is just so bad that it's good.

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

This show certainly blends well with just about anything. I agree, that movie was pretty bad and never liked it to begin with, but this was pretty funny.

@@AegisReflector,

 

Oh yes. The prequels are unfortunately quite awful, though I am personally still fond of Episode I. The real gems, so to speak, are the pieces of "dialogue" (if they can even be called that) and other lines which otherwise don't receive a lot of attention (e.g., "YOUR NEW EMPIRE?"). They are ripe for all sorts of editing and mixing.

 

When I first heard Trixie's line, my first thought was of the confrontation with Count Dooku. I have no idea why. Out of all the Star Wars moments, the fact that this one rattles around in my mind still is a testament to how bad the material is.

[Party Cannon 876]

Move over Guile's Theme, PONIES go with anything!

 

Most entertaining clip, thank you for making it.

 

Man, I must be in the minority in that Revenge of the Sith was my favorite Star Wars film. I totally know what you mean about some parts being ridiculous, while others amazing.

[Yellow Diamond 7,569]

@@Party Cannon,

 

The only parts for me which are passable (and I stress passable) happen to be some of the action sequences. But even the stunts are overrun by horrendous dialogue ("THIS IS THE END FOR YOU, MY MASTER.") and stilted acting.

[Night Shine 767]

 

Just...lol. That was kind of hilarious.

 

Didn't even think of that scene when I first saw Magic Duel, but now that I think about it, they are pretty similar.

Oh yeah. Nah I know what you mean. If I had to choose the defining aspect of the film, it would have to be Order 66.

 

(Jedi fans stop reading here if easily offended)

 

I love Obi Wan. With that said, the Jedi regime of the republic I thought was very hypocritical and arrogant. This does not make Palpatine any better of course. It was actually amazing, not in a sadistic way if that makes sense, to see all these Jedi mowed down by clones, who are not "special" and have force skills etc.

 

Clones made the movie more than anything for me. The new show blows because it lacks depth.

 

By the way, isn't it funny how Stormtroopers can't shoot the broad side of moisture farm barn, but clones can cut down a Jedi master?

Canonically, most stormtroopers by the time of the old trilogy weren't the clones of the most feared bounty-hunter of the time. After a batch of clones on Kamino went rogue, Emperor Palpy decided to diversify the gene stock and recruit regular people into the stormtrooper corps.

 

By the time the events of A New Hope roll around, the stormtroopers were functioning as peacekeeping forces keeping order on subjugated worlds rather than the ball-busting commandos we saw in the Clone Wars. I imagine that given the number of worlds within the Empire's control, Palpy had to really cut down his standards to get enough bodies to fill those suits. After all, their main purpose would be to just stand around in identical rows and look menacing.

 

I'm sure there are stormtrooper companies who are still very competent, and who get called in when serious stuff needs doing. Kyle Katarn leads one such squad before he defected and became a Jedi. They'd also have the incredibly advantageous support of the Imperial Navy with its continent-leveling weapons in any serious conflict.

 

...I'm probably over-thinking this.

I'm just saying, but over-thinking is the best kind of thinking, especially when it comes to sci-fi or fantasy-genre stuff. XD Gotta love Star Wars lore.

I know right? It's a wonderful mental exercise that causes us to stop worrying about mundane stuff and temporarily let our imagination roam the cosmos.

I was waiting for someone to hit this! Yeah I know, haha, every time I bring up Stormies vs clones...

 

Very good reasons for the massive difference in skill/competence. It just goes to show how amazing Jango's DNA was.

 

*Sidenote

If it weren't for that arena animal RUNNING JANGO OVER, Mace would be toast. Absolutely an unfair fight and Mace knew it.

You are absolutely right about all of that. I too love Star Wars lore

 

And personally, I liked the prequel trilogy. Not as much as the original, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as everybody says.

You're not very familiar with Mace's EU showings, are you?

 

He could bust out some vaapad and destroy 10 Jango's without much trouble.

Pfft... it's Jango's fault for not taking taking on a Jedi Master with anything less than a fully automatic shotgun.

I loved the prequels too! I loved watching the massive battle scenes and intricate lightsaber fights with all the flipping and twirling and stuff. The original trilogies' fight choreographer based his fight scenes on kendo techniques which resulted in some really stiff fencing.

 

Pre-cognizant mystical swordsmen wielding weightless laserblades ought to fight and move like something out of Wuxia.

No, I am not familiar.

 

I am familiar with him getting his arm chopped off and getting his ass thrown out of a window...

 

Mace is awesome, don't get me wrong. It's just funny how Jango set his cloak on fire, and only after he got ran over that Mace actually defeated him.

Ha! You should have seen the Clone Wars animated series that aired on Cartoon Network. Mace demolishes a few hundred battle droids and SBDs with his bare fists like a force-empowered Kenshiro. It makes me wonder why Jedis even need their fancy swords if they could just kung-fu their way through countless mooks.

Yes. By one of the most powerful Sith Lords ever. If you knew about Palpatine's powers in the EU... you wouldn't look down on Mace for getting owned by him. And you have to remember, Mace was winning until he was attacked by Anakin, whom he had no reason to believe would attack him.

"POWAHHH! UNLLLLIMITED POWAAHHH!!!!!"

 

One of the things I liked about the EU is that it shows that the Empire is a more serious threat than the movies showed us.

 

Sure, Palpy was killed at the end of the trilogy, but the only concrete thing that did was rob the Empire of an absolute leader that united it. The destruction of the Death Star II did nothing about all the materiel the Empire still had; the billions of personnel, fleets of ships, and all the political clout that ruling over several star systems gave you.

 

On the other hand, because the EU was handled by several authors, consistency within the lore soon went down the drain...

Actually, it's pretty consistent.

 

And yeah, the Empire still managed to mess up (or at least, mostly mess up) a lot of the New Republic.

 

And Palpatine survived in a roundabout way. He had several clones prepared before hand and used the force to transfer his mind and whatnot to them. He had to be killed 3 or 4 times before he actually died. At the height of his power, he used the force to tear a hole in spacetime and dimension-fuck an entire Republic fleet

Yes! I've started a geek discussion on the nuances of the prequel trilogy! My ultimate plan has come to fruition.

 

But then I saw the Expanded Universe show up and it made me sad.

Aw, come on! The EU's not that bad.

 

Among other things, it just brought Boba Fett back to life and undid the most important events of the movie series by repeatedly resurrecting Palpy...

 

 

 

...yeah, it is pretty bad isn't it?
