Subtitle greedo with outrageous imperialscum quotes

I think Frink’s already doing something similar to that

Also have him poorly mock everyone’s name in a stupid way like Darth Id.

“Jubby Huttles put a price on your head so large every bounty Hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you, so don’t embarrass yourself.”

“He may only take your ship.”
“From my dead body.”
“Don’t flatter yourself.”

If I haven’t suggested it before, have nearly every scene on the Death Star with department store music echoing through the corridors. There’s a bunch of Kmart in store tapes that have been uploaded to archive.org.

Hearing “Attention K Mart Shoppers!” at random intervals might be funny too?

“The Rebellion will continue to gain support in the Imperial Senate if-”
“The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I’ve just received word that the Emperor has dissolved permanently. The last remnants of the Emperor have been swept away”
“That’s impossible! How will the Senate maintain control without the Emperor?”

I had to read it three times, but finally I got it and it’s great. 😃

I’m reminded that Tarkin says Dantooine is too remote and that the region governors now have control over their territories.
So it might be possible that he could reply to the chap by say “Remote Control”.

Then they just stare at him in silence for a couple beats.

Han also says remote and control I think. You might have a running gag there about the edits trying to switch off your television.

And obviously I have to find somewhere for Remote Control by Beastie Boys…and maybe the theme song from the MTV show Remote Control.

HAN : Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe that there’s one remote control controlling everything.

(suddenly film fast forwards to battle sequence Han looks confused… then it rewinds).

Maybe the ridiculous original trilogy could be about Sid Sidious trying to get his hands on the remote control. So many characters talk about control in the films.
You could replace Luke’s lightsaber in ROTJ for a generic remote control to give the gag a bit of closure.
“You want this don’t you?” (he could pause, rewind to the prequels, fast forward into the sequels) “I seen it four times”

TV’s Frink said:

If there’s something I never want to see, it’s George Lucas role-playing as Princess Leia.

moving this thought over here, because even though Frink makes a good point, i also think it is worth considering that this could be a cool little easter egg for this film. find a busy scene and add lucas with hair buns somewhere in the background. maybe the medal ceremony? thats they type of scene that a directory would normally try to cameo in, right?

When Tarkin says “Fear will keep the local systems in line” the line could be altered so he suggests a series of common phobias (using clips from other movies). Fear of spiders, fear of a gigantic hound, fear of the undead, fear of Adolf Hitler (I’m just guessing his films mention these things).

The Dianoga could have the face of Snoke. Han could be freaked out by this and say “Snokes, why did it have to be Snokes?”.
