Wow that was awesome!

[LL918]

Great! That is clearly a teaser for the upcoming Cantina set and the Modal Node vs Sand People Battle Packs!

[Morgan19]

That was hilarious! Excellent animation and humor; the various movie and scene tie-ins were fantastic.

UCS Jar-Jar = win

[that guy]

Am I the only one who was disappointed that the Sarlac pit wasn't done in Lego like the 6210 set?? Also, what happened to Bossk at the end in the wheelchair? He looks like he's on a sandpeople torso, not his 8097 torso. Just my thoughts....

There are a lot of funny easter eggs in this. IJ on the movie and the sigs on the cast are great. "No more beers for you"-The Emperor (who signed the cast twice), is classic. "Who's old now?" from Obi-Wan is funny. Oddly a sig from Sir Alec too. Is that a George Lucas sig as well?

Jar Jar's T-shirt is funny too. I wouldn't mind one of those in stores to buy. Love the Reggae version of the theme song. I always knew Jar Jar got Irie on the side.

This video kinda covers the whole arc of the story, it's pretty good.

Good stuff! Thanks for posting it!

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

How cute! Glad to see the UCS sets in there (unlike the LSW game!)

[Draykov]

I think that I can safely say that this work has elicited more sympathy in me for Jar-Jar than any other I've seen him in. Cute.

[EbonHawk]

Awesome Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobalego]

So no one else has to do it, I was extra nerdy and paused and wrote down the entire opening scrall:

"It is a period of civil war.
And war as everybody knows,
makes things dirty,

Really, really, dirty.
Like absolutely filthy.
Just nineteen years ago,

Everything was so clean,
And shiny and polished.
And now look at it. It’s a real shame.

Fortunately for the galaxy,
There is a NEW HOPE.
A hope…With a mop.

Boss Nass Cleaners.
Scrubbing the galaxy clean,
One system at a time."

As far as easter eggs...
...one of the other notes on Vaders cast was:

“Get well soon dad.
Luke&Leia”

“Whose old now?
Obi-Wan”
And the name of Yoda's band: "Yoda and the BoogieWookies"

[Robzula]

Thanks, bobalego! The one thing I still can't tell is what Palpy's other note on Vader's cast is (the one with the square around it).

[thepatient]

"Wish you were here"

[mrfootball]

Great stuff! I enjoyed seeing the UCS Falcon. Also, the Star Destroyer looks like the 6211 set if I'm not mistaken?

[Solscud007]

Yep. It certainly looks like my 6211 set. Im suprised they used that and not the UCS or the Midi scale one.

Im not sure if they spit out Boba Fett to be funny or if they were sticking to the books. Boba Fett was spit out by the Sarlacc and was discovered and cared for by Dengar.

[GrayMattR]

Too funny - you have to watch it a couple of times to catch all the inside jokes. Funny that Jar Jar just goes about vacuuming with his headphones like there's nothing else going on in the world.

[Kevin Koala]

Did anyone notice the new designed Gamorrean? I'm quite skeptical about some of these easter eggs. I feel they will be 'hints' for more LEGO sets like in The Quest for R2-D2, but it seems so unlikely.

[Isaac5]

i love how Jar-Jar looks least realistic, and more grainy computer animated, im not sure if they were going for this, but god i hope they were!
