Star Wars III: A Lost Hope

Entertainment

In light of starwars.com's release of the new Star Wars III opening credits crawl (shown below), Sequential Pictures has release their Episode III parody Star Wars III: A Lost Hope. It's quite funny. Make sure to check out the blooper real, too.

Remember, this is parody, but the following is real:

 Episode III
REVENGE OF THE SITH

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by
the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are
heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.

In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader,
General Grievous, has swept into the Republic
capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine,
leader of the Galactic Senate.

As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee
the besieged capital with their turgid hostage,
two Jedi Knights and a brave but clumsy Gungan
warrior lead a desperate mission to rescue the
captive Chancellor....

Hopefully, the parody doesn't end up being better than the real thing.

The folks at slashdot seem all up in arms about General Grievous. I'm more worried about the return of "a brave but clumsy Gungan warrior."

hmm, the real thing is beginning to sound a lot like a stanislaw lem piece from cyberiad, or tales of pirx the pilot, except without the sharpness of humor and critical eye for absurdity...

No!!! No more gungangs! I hate the fact that I'm going to go see this pile of crap. I just need the closure, and am hoping for some good lightsaber action (the only things that remotely bailed out the late 2 disasters). And, with any (new) hope, that kid playing Anikan will actually have figured out how to act.
