"I stood next to your mother as she died" - R2-D2 That seriously is the grandest dark comedy statement of all time

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a filmmaker said "I will create a character named Kit Fisto".

"use the force, Luke...I've run out of lubricant."

'Oh, genius! Thrawting Darth Vader by sending the plans to a planet covered in sand. He hates that!' Oh shit! That is epic and makes fantastic sense. XD

I wish the MST3K cast could just live in my brain and riff my life. That would make me happy.

"Die like you did by the lake on Naboo!" had me rolling.

"You guys keep retconning it up over there." Sometimes things are way more humorous (and sad) way after they are said.

I lost it at the "Bea Arthur" joke!

The Holiday Special jokes are always burns

"Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is the alteration of previously established facts in the continuity of a fictional work." - Wikapideia

Thank you very much Senator Binks and his "Meesa Gets A Fair Turn Uh Mui Mui" Bill - Oh my god...

These guys are awesome. If I won the lottery I would give them a ton of money to keep these coming

Love the great Star Wars Holiday Special references!

What's sad is that I know who Nute Gunray, Watto, Wickett W. Warrick, Kit Fisto, Poggle the Lesser, and Dexter Jettster are.

1:10 I love the jokes that make Bill laugh like the Predator.

Revenge of the Sith was my favorite, it was like watching an episode of General Hospital.

11:53 "Oh great, you just stepped on the Prime Minister of Naboo" CRACKS ME UP EVERY TIME.

"Darth Vader Hates Sand" Should be a t-shirt

Sounds like they watched the series in order, lol, love the sarcasm.

Thats right, I'm Padme's baby daddy! You should have seen what went on by the lake on Naboo! LMFAO thats the best riff ever hands down.

"I stood next to your mother as she died" so fucked up. And yet so hilarious.

"Die like you did by the lake on Naboo" sent me. 😂

Lol! Everybody hates Gungans xD

Great work on this compilation!

Is that Naboo? Maybe that’s Naboo. OH THAT’S GOTTA BE NABOO.

Nooooo, "that's my line' LOL

"Oh, if only Art Carney or some holographic version of Starship were here -- they'd know what to do!" Any plans to upload the original trilogy?

1:26 No! Eat your fried Gungan....

I love how we make fun of the names in the prequels, when A New Hope has a guy named Porkins

No! Eat your fried Gungan!

Whenever I watch return of the jedi I always end it right before the celebration in the village, because I can't bear to look at how they replaced Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen.

Must have been an incredibly awkward family reunion.

10:53 Yes, _Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace_ , AKA the one you thought was the worst _Star Wars_ film until you were proven SEVERELY wrong 16 years later...and again 18 years later...and again 20 years later...

'Chad Vader', heh, Where's 'Chip Hitler' when you need him?

I think George Lucas got the name Padme from "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", a book written by Joseph Campbell from which Lucas got many ideas for Star Wars. It was from the quote "Om Mani Padme Hum", which means "The Heart is in the lotus" or "the heart of the lotus". Something like that.

I turned this on at work and had to shut it off because I was laughing out loud.

for some reason, I think cloud city and the sunset in the empire strikes back is really pretty

I think that yes, Lucas definitely relied far too much on CGI rather than character development when making the prequels but at least when they were released in the theaters, I genuinely enjoyed them and looked forward to the next installment!

(01:10) Bill's longest laugh lol

Love the Chad Vader appearances! 😂

its official im the only one who likes episode 6 more than 4

Idc I was 3 when I saw this in the theatre and it blew me away

8:21 ouch, that one's a real hard nut xD

I'm your Father. That right I was hitting that Nabooty!

The age before the sequels

You just described my teacher for half the school year

When did R2 have a flamethrower? Are they referring to his rockets that ignited some kind of oil in Revenge of the Sith?

Lando is wearing Hans shirt and vest O.OL

Anakin's "I hate the sand" rant in episode 2.

Nagneto, I wish that YOU had never happened, yet here you are, just like the Star Wars prequels and herpes.

This commentary shows that the prequels don't tie up to the originals well at all. It's like George Lucas never even made Star Wars, and was just given a very sparse outline of the originals before he made the prequels. Oh well I still enjoyed the lightsabre battles!

KF-jelly... Tested and approved by Kit Fisto. Available anywhere in the Outer Rim-Job.

They don't call him Kit Fisto because he likes the ladies....

Alright, here's my positives of the prequels: 1. The Clone Wars series (both but especially the latter) 2. Ewan MacGregor as Obi-Wan 3. Qui-Gon 4. Christopher Lee as Count Dooku 5. Seeing Yoda fight 6. Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine 7. Duel of the Fates 8. Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan 9. Order 66 (once you've watched TCW) 10. CGI Yoda (hey it beats that crappy puppet they had in Phantom Menace) 11. Occasionally the political stories were interesting

I think the prequels are better than the orginals, they have a better story line, the actors are better, its more realistic and serious and every scene is perfectly directed, plus the characters and the dialogue are way better written, also the originals dont even have jar jar binks in it and hes the funniest character probably ever to be created. And there wasn't enough romantic scenes in the originals and I think george lucas should have put more cgi in the orginals because cgi is much better looking than practical effects. The prequels are also just make more sense and the plot is much better, there is no polotics and not enough scenes with two characters talking about exposition in the originals so they suck.

2:02 YUP!

That's pretty BS Disney had robots take down some of the star wars rifftrax.. these are the defenition of fair use, although I guess since it's clips posted by a third party and not rifftrax maybe that's why

R2 never had a flamethrower. He burned down some Super Battle Droids, but only by first drenching them in oil, and then ignite them with his flyingrocketjetpackwhateverthings.

Did no one else notice these aren't the prequels? This is Episodes IV, V & VI (4, 5 & 6) the original films. The prequels are Episodes I, II & III (1, 2 & 3).

What is 4:47 - 4:52 a reference to? The Holiday Special? If so, what part of the Holiday Special was it?

11:08 and again thirty-two years later and again thirty-five years later and again thirty-eight years later.

The reason the prequels failed was purely down to execution. George can form good worlds and overall narrative, but he's best not to actually direct actors in the 'talking' bits. Aside from execution [hell, with a bit of tweaking to his voice/get rid of the clumsiness and have him previously 'exiled' for maybe some scandal with boss nass's daughter, Jar-Jar could have been decent.], the prequels had not much to make them BAD movies. But on a less subjective note, anybody who thinks the holiday special is better than any of the prequels deserves to be thrown either to the sarlacc, or thrown into the mustafar lava lakes.

I grew up in the era of the Prequel Trilogy. I remember a couple of years before TPM came out, they had the SW Special Edition which was shown in the movie theaters.....then the TPM comes out, and I watched it like 7 times that Summer. The OT is amazing, because it defines an era, but the PT era was a great time for Star Wars, too. The Clone Wars anime and series was epic! It was a great time for creativity, stories, comics, novels, and games. The movies got progressively better. I see flaws, but I also see things which really stand about about the PT which I appreciated about it, and I thought more about the good things than the flawed things. The OT is great, but not at all perfect. Not as flawless as the hyper-fanboys want you to be about it. The previous generation may have despised a lot of the PT, but the generation who lived through it loved it, until it became a fad to hate the PT. These clowns that want to remake the PT utterly disgust me. They don't know how to appreciate good things when they see it. They just knit pick it to justify what they want to believe in their minds. It's time for a new era in SW. Don't trample on another one which made a great contribution to the mythos and cultural interaction. Long live all of SW.

In addition to what beardedartisan said (which is very true) Lucas did not direct ESB or RotJ, neither was he the primary screenwriter for either. ANH was good because of the wringer the script through with Lucas' filmmaking friends (including many uncredited rewrites), the collaborators who elevated it, and how hard it was to make. Back then Lucas realised he wasn't a writer and had no grasp of character or dialogue, and he sought the help he needed. He seems to have forgotten at some point.

I don't understand all the sand jokes, but they're funny.

gosh they do take the piss out of the prequels

Hayden Christenson at the end: worst retcon ever

We will see Lucas again, but not yet...not yet. -Gladiator

The way it was always intended...

MY SECRET SANTA IS DARTH (SHAFT !! BABY!!) VADER !!!!

2:04 you're sooo not going to get that joke if you haven't seen the Christmas special!

Can you update this video with Episode VII's RiffTrax?

Kit Fisto? Magneto!

It still only indicates that the Jedi knights were around for over a thousand generations. They said that the Republic stood for a thousand years, as in it held together for that long. Therefore, it could have been around longer, and might simply have had trouble with corruption and instabilities before that time frame. But even in those times, the Jedi were guardians of peace in it.

How do you know he came up with the name

I would even dispute the "anymore". Reading about the making of the original trilogy, it's clear how much influence other executives / artists had on those films and how they changed many of Lucas's original ideas for the better. The major problem with the prequels is that everyone was too afraid to stand up to Lucas and challenge his terrible decisions.

11:27 TIE Bomber, do you see it?

How is episode IV a prequel?

Kit Fister!

is that mat sloan?

Watching the original series with all of the crappy, unnecessary knowledge gained from the prequels is such a slap in the face. Why show R2D2 flying in a prequel when he couldn't in the original series? That would just generate a million plot holes. And come to think of it, Only C3PO had his memory wiped at the end of "Revenge of the Sith", not R2D2, and It's been proven that not only do people understand R2D2 perfectly well, but that he engages in active and complex conversation with them, so why the hell wouldn't R2D2 know who luke is? He was there when he was born and named, knows that he has the same last name of the same person (anikin) that he spend nearly two decades (I think) with, and lives in the same spot on the whole friction' desert planet where Anikin found out where his mother lived. Whoops!

OK I'm still confused, I'm hearing riffs from the original trilogy in the proper places in this video. So the vid maker didn't use all riffs from the prequels. Just weird. Figure out what this is and give it a proper title and description lol.

Newt Gunray is the fake-Chinese talking thing from the prequel; any accident that he's named after Republican politicians (Newt Gingrich and Ronald Raygun)?

Bea Arthur heheh the holiday special

I was slightly ok with Episode 1 (except for Jar-Jar. And Qui-Gone Wrong. And Anakin.) I was fine with Episode 2, and I've never seen Episode 3, and likely never will.

Kit Fisto, must be a prison nickname.

mmmm...fried Gungan

Eh, sending the plans to a sand planet wont do any good. Darth Vader's suit protect him from the sand and the suns' heat. He once came to Tatooine specifically to kill an entire village of Tusken Raiders. And yes, that is canon.

Ah Return of the Jedi. The movie you thought was the worst Star Wars movie ever until you got proven wrong 16 years later And again 19 years later And again 22 years later And again 25 years later And again 32 years later And again 34 years later And again 35 years later And again 36 years later.

When did R2 had a flamethrower?

1:36 Anyone else feel that wasn't a retcon and was just Obi-Wan trying to hide facts about his past life from Luke?

I am the only one who likes the prequels? cause I do feel like it sometimes

Ahhhh OK I see that this is Riffs from the prequels which were placed on the original trilogy by the video maker. But still, making the title, 'Rifftrax vs Star Wars Prequels' says to me that the video is going to be the prequels. Just a bit confusing. I think, 'RiffTrax vs Star Wars (Prequel Riffs put to Original Trilogy Video)' would be a less confusing title.

Episode 2-Anakin tells Padme about his dislike of sand-he really gets into it. Rifftrax has exploited that on several occasions as the original dialogue was corny and laughable.

Clit Fisto

What's your deal with the Midi-Chlorians?? They are just a mean to measure the force... It's not like it taking the magic off of and you can't "take" them like vitamins!!

Was that James Earl Jones during episode v?

Fisto!

(4:47-4:53) That's actually a reference to Return of the Jedi, not the prequels

I just noticed that each there is a 16 year gap between each star wars trilogy.
