Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope — Page 10

I've long thought about using the Life of Brian UFO bit but not exactly sure where.

Instead of Ben talking to Luke during the Death Star run you could have Dave Bowman saying, "My God, it's full of stars".

You could cut out the battle altogether and have Luke mimic his father by taking out the Death Star with a lucky shot fired while approaching the station.

The squad could reply to their call signs and then Luke fires and the torpedo hurtles towards the station, skims down the trench, goes right into the exhaust pipe and blows up the thing without any Rebels getting hurt.

Han could then turn up and congratulate him on the great shot.

The pilots could just fly around for a bit and go home.

Porkins could eat a pork pie.

^That works ;-D

LOL

I like that. And of course Obi-Wan would still be on the Death Star, so his force ghost should fly past Luke's X-Wing when they return to the rebel base.

Or have him accidentally fire the torpedo instead of opening his s-foils (with an Anakin "OOPS!"), then either show it randomly flying around until it enters the exhaust port, or have it blow up all the other rebel ships (each with an Anakin apology).

4 words: Pinball machine audio effects!

Alec Guinness' reading of his autobiography, My Name Escapes Me contains lots of potential comedy gold.

Including references to microscopic life forms farting and refusing to do any more Star Wars sequels.

When Vader kills Obi-Wan, perhaps he could have some trouble? What I have in mind is that Vader would swing his sabre at Obi, Luke would yell "Nooo-" and have it cut short, since Obi-Wan would still be standing. Vader could swear (bleeped out of course), and try again, repeating the same thing with Luke, Vader, and Obi-Wan as many times as it needs to become funny and as few times as takes to remain funny.

Oh wait...that wouldn't work if they were leaving the Death Star without him.

It could still be done though. Perhaps when they come of the ship, use that scene and have Vader suddenly fighting Obi-Wan outside, but have him fail to kill him. Then cut to a sped up shot of Obi-Wan going through the halls, implying that he is using force speed. Cut back to Vader, showing the doors closing, and have Obi-Wan and the team meet up in the control room thing, or have Obi go straight to the tractor beam thing and begin the scene in the control room thing beginning after Obi-Wan leaves.

I haven't seen ANH in a while, so I'm not sure how plausible this is, but I'm sure some of this could be used...if it's funny enough, that is.

"I can't believe he/she's gone" should be Luke's running line. He should say it when Han leaves before the Battle of Yavin; every time someone is killed in said battle; when Yoda, Vader, and the emperor die; etc.

It would be funny if Ben could be scoped into the background when Luke says that.

I like this.

^I suggested that first, dammit! But yeah, seriously, that's gold.

For when the Falcon is flying through the remains of Alderaan.

When Vader is going on about the stolen plans he could claim to have altered them and threaten to alter them some more for reasons best known to himself.

Maybe the exhaust port leading straight to the main reactor could somehow be made to be one of his alterations.

The uploader has not made that video available in my country.

The song is "Carrie" by Cliff Richard. If you search it up you should be able to find another version somewhere else on Youtube or elsewhere that you can watch or listen to. This one has my vote.

Fun idea, but too limiting.
