Episode VI: Return of the Ridiculousness — Page 7

I was just doing an edit of this scene from 'Blackadder: Back & Forth'...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_41Ltpyl-g

...and I realised it would cut seemlessly with the Ewok-rope-trap capture scene.

You don't own it but please buy the DVD* as I need to see Rik Mayall leading a merry band of Ewoks in ReturnOTR! :-D

(*It's one of the top 2 or 3 best comedies Britain ever produced, so the boxset is money well spent for a comedy fan)

I've always loved everything Rik Mayall's done!

Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.

No need to apologise for that.

I loathed that waste of lottery money, I also never liked Mr Bean or The Thin Blue Line.

And he doesn't look like me!

We are as alike as two dissimilar things... in a pod.

Just jumping in here with an idea I had the other day. Dunno if it's already been suggested but have you thought about swapping unmasked Vader's face with the Moon from the Mighty Boosh?

I had not.

If someone could do it for me, my preference would be Jar Jar.

Sloth of The Goonies would work too. Compound comedy disability.

Master Blaster from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome? Basically the same thing almost, lol.

I always thought it would be funny to see James Earl Jones underneath the mask at the end, but I wouldn't know any good static shots of him that could be composited in that scene.

Hayden (without aging and preferably with his creepy smile) would be even better because it would parody the replacement of the Shaw force ghost.

 How about Jake Lloyd? Complete with a "yipee!"

Not sure if this has been suggested, but perhaps a puppeteer hand could be dissolved in as Yoda disappears after death. 

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Starlog once ran a cartoon with a similar gag not long after ROTJ came out. Luke hugged Yoda in his grief, and pulled the puppet right off the hand. ;)

Yoda could also randomly speak in Miss Piggy's or Grover's voice as he expires?

^This is a fantastic idea!  Could be used in Empire as well.  You could have Yoda sing "Fuzzy and Blue" or when going through Luke's items when they first meet, he could toss out stuff saying in Miss Piggy's voice, "Underwear, underwear, underwear..."

If only we could greenscreen a Grover puppet into the movie. ;)

Post-credits, Anakin awakes in bed, panting. (from ROTS)

When the Emperor reveals the fully armed and operational battle station, he could say "Fire at Commander Will!", then cut to Will Riker on the bridge of the Enterprise just before the laser fires destroying the ship.

 Other ships and commanders from other franchises could cameo in the battle as well, during the charge into battle.

 That's what goes through my mind every time somebody says "Fire at will!" in a movie. ;)

This could make good use of the Enterprise D destruction in Generations. Then the saucer section crashes on Endor.

I'm glad I'm not alone in mentally firing at Will.

I kind of like the idea of cutting back to Will and Deanna crashing the Enterprise every so often during the battle. Maybe have the saucer destroy the shield generator accidentally.

If only there was a way to have the Ewoks running from the crashing saucer! ;)

The "I have felt him" and "Strange I have not" lines could be reworked to be rather naughty. Maybe Vader and Palpatine fancy Captain Solo.
