"I'm sorry Luke, but Darth Vader is in another castle."?

"Wait, do you not have a life meter?" *Quiet chuckling*

So that scorpion boss calls himself... サソリベイダー, Sasorivader, which translates to... Scorpionvader. I've looked for some info and there seems to be more vaders like Gyaosuvader (which turns into some sort of dragon), Cladosvader (which turns into a shark) and Wampavader (which turns into... a wampa from Empire Strikes Back). The worst part is thad I'm not joking at all about this...

Best part of this video was James telling his daughter's joke 😂

I can't help but feel that James was hoping Mike would have more of a WTF reaction to the scorpion.

The best Star Wars movie was not directed by George Lucas. Lucas' involvement has been greatly exaggerated and the contributions of other creative people have been greatly diminished.

Poopy Power lol... Talking about lineage!

The more I watch this series, the more I really appreciate Mike (or whoever is editing) inserting clips from whatever they're referencing and annotations on things they either missed or weren't clear enough on.

8:24 "LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER, AND I AM ALSO.... A FUCKING SCORPION!"

JJ Abrams is no Spielberg.

9:55 Seinfeld makes an appearance.

Holy cow, did Mike have a job interview that day or something? This was the best-dressed, well-groomed, well-rested looking Iv'e seen him in a while.

Fact: Darth Maul had more screentime in The Phantom Menace, than Darth Vader had in A New Hope.

Well, the Peanuts movie had a lot of input by Schultz 's sons. Even having writing credit. So you could say that it's the real deal.

Actually, Lucas wrote a super long screenplay that encompassed the storyline of the entire trilogy. He was told that it was too long and cut his 3 act story into 3 separate parts; each act being padded out into it's own film. He was influenced by serials but that had to do with plot elements in this case, not the structure of the films.

Wow... 7:26 most evil laugh from James ever! haha :D

Prequels? Bah! Nothing is worse than the "Jedi Rocks" sequence from the special edition of Return of the Jedi. Nothing.

Mike- "Do you not have a life meter?" James- " hehehehe"

I hope the Empire isn't too powerful in Episode VII... I mean the Emperor, Vader died and the Death Star blew up, I know there's still a huge amount of soldiers and starships out there, but if the Empire is still really powerful here it'll feel like it lessens the accomplishment in Return of the Jedi.

like the force, the poop humor runs in your blood, James.

I remember that time Darth Vader shape shifting into a giant yellow scorpion with the face of a creepy child. Oh wait, this never happened in the films at all?!

You DIDNT like the badass fight against Darth Maul but you LIKED the fight between the emperor and Yoda?? THE HELL, MIKE??

Thanks guys for acknowledging the premise of Episode I. I never understood what was going on, how the taxation of trade routes led to anything.

Namco = Pac-Man, Galaga, Pole Position Beam Software = Back to the Future, Back to the Future Part II & III, George Foreman's KO Boxing Who would you expect to make the better Star Wars game?!

7:25 - James' laugh: "buahahaha, life meter, you poor soul" xD

7:23 Mike: Wait do you not have a life meter? James: (nefarious laughter)

Star Wars: Episode VII movie review to end the month.

even james's daughter can tell scrappy doo sucked

lol I cannot agree with Attack of the Shit being better than Ep. 1.... 3 is the best, but 2 is by far the worst.... dont be biased just because its got Chris Lee guys. Ep. 1 has the benefit of being the only of the prequels to be shot on location and not entirely on green screen

James' daughter is like 3 and already a smartass! That is awesome!

the game doesn't actually look terrible

Episode 1 must have been targetted at early teens because when Episode 1 came out I really loved it and my friend who was big into Star Wars also loved it. In general I didn't hear much negativity until few years later.

The lines said by Darth Vader translate to "I am Scorpion Vader. You must defeat me to get to your friends"

James' daughter is definitely gonna grow up to be like her dad based on her joke. X3

For Star Wars month James wears a Star Wars shirt, Mike goes with the Conway Twitty look

That couch has seen some really deep conversations

I was just thinking about how all of the characters from the original Star Wars AND Indiana Jones Sagas were not only killed by Disney, but their children and entire lineage were killed off as well. Seriously, thats just sick.

0:42 James predicted the new Star Wars title.

10:09 mark that face is gold. XD

In regards to the upcoming Star Wars films being fan fiction, I have a couple of thoughts. I think George Lucas probably gets too much credit for "creating" Star Wars. Gary Kurtz was producer for A New Hope and co-producer for Empire Strikes Back (though he and Lucas had creative disagreements, and he left before Return of the Jedi). He played a big role in focusing the story of the films, and contributed a lot of good ideas while reining in some of Lucas's wackier ones. Then you have Lawrence Kasdan, one of the screenwriters from Empire and Jedi who's coming back to write The Force Awakens. I hate to bring up the prequels, but think about what happened when Lucas made when he had complete creative control over the franchise, I certainly don't consider those films worthy successors to the original Star Wars trilogy, so I think it's reasonable to believe that Star Wars as a franchise doesn't need his stamp.

The real question is, should we accept the prequels as Star Wars movies? The answer is 'no.'

Mike is truly the angry video game nerd. He cries more than any kid I grew up with when feeling cheated at a game. But his knowledge on everything trivial is insane. You go Mike.

I'm glad James also sees Star Wars as the story of Anakin Skywalker, really everything that happens in the films from ep 1 to Return of the Jedi has revolved around Anakin. His training, love battles all the way to his shame, regret and sins, then at the crux his redemption, the new movie(s) will be the story of a new generation, I just hope the movie's as true to the Lucas formula as possible. :P

9:05 My personal theory is that Luke is hearing about Darth Vader and getting so scared and paranoid, that all threatening creatures Luke faces before hand appear as Darth Vader to him. Pure hallucination.

5:16 I have a solution.. it should be called.. wait for it... "STAR WARS Z"!

Many people at 20th Century Fox and even Lucasfilm thought _Star Wars_ was gonna flop.

"No Luke...I, am you father, and I'm also a f****** scorpion!"

Vader says something like "I'm Scorpion Vader..."

I think Phantom Menace has merit over the other 2 films simply because it actually looks like a movie, it had animatronics, miniature sets and models, it was shot on location all throughout, the dialog scene have actual angles rather than the static ''over-the-shoulder'' formula that plagues the other 2 movies, not to mention it was shot on film, which is already better than Attack of the Clones where you can clearly see the green screen around the actors and Revenge of the Sith which has 0 sets.

Turn on subtitles at 3:49

When I was a toddler, I had this Star Wars: The Phantom Menace sticker book that I was really afraid of because it had a stern-looking Amidala in full makeup and Darth Maul on the cover. I remember having a nightmare where those two broke into my house and I hid under the dining room table, trying really hard not to cry in fear.

"Queen Amidala ding dong or whatever" - James Rolfe 2015

I adored the political parts of Episode I.

How strange would it be if they had the Disney logo at the start of the movie with "when you wish upon a star" playing and then it cuts to "A long time ago" and all that.

lets not forget that after "STAR WARS" and before Empire Strikes back, Lucas worked on the " STARWARS the Holiday special"

About the opening Lucasfilm logo, James, the fact that Lucasfilm has been bought by Disney doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. It still does, as well as Pixar and Marvel.

Well, the prequels where made by George Lucas...

Please play Battlefront 2 (PS2) together!

7:22 James' evil laugh is great. :D

Oh man, it's funny that they talk about Disney Star Wars movies ditching the opening text crawl, when that's exactly what they did with Rogue One and it DID piss off and\or confuse a lot of people.

James has a brilliant mind, he has a tremendous understanding of plot/story-telling

0:52 Man, I'd hate to see a planet de-story'd. :(

Love watching the nerd all these years. Cool to see you guys play and shoot the breeze. I'm surprised Mike hasn't seen this game before!

James' diabolical chuckle at around 7:30 when Mike learns that there's no life meter -- priceless.

Phantom Menace wasn't my favorite by far...there were only two scenes I liked. The Senate (call me bizarre if you want), and the Duel of the Fates.

taken as a whole so far, for better or worse, the pre-Abrams Star Wars films told the story of the Skywalker legacy. Force Awakens feels like it'll veer away from the Skywalkers

I bet that episode VII is going to be shit.

15:10 "The third (Star Wars) movie was good but everyone just wants to focus on Darth Vader screaming noooo..." I feel the same way about the dancing scene from Spider-Man 3

Lucasfilm still exists. It's just a division of Disney.

Can you get Jontron for the next episode or something? I really loved the rant on the movies when you were giving him a tour. He looks like a very suitable guest for this month :D

Also James, the Neimoidian "frog things" weren't CGI. The irony is that Phantom Menace had a huge amount of practical effects, you can Google it if you don't believe me. Eps 2 and 3 seemed to have progressively less 'traditional' effects and went more into CGI and green screen.

I would love to see an episode on the early portable games on the shelf behind James and Mike.

Now These Games Are Good But Is It Better If They Made It On The Atari 2600.

It's weird how Lucas went from a cool indie director who made these crazy films and self-financed V and VI and did all this profit sharing etc. etc. to a bizarre reclusive control-freak nutter. What _happened?_

To put James and Mike at ease, it's been confirmed that there will be an opening crawl in The Force Awakens, as well as it being called "Episode VII".

At 8:17, he's saying "I am Sasori Vader. Your friends are in my grasp."

I have to disagree with you guys- AOTC is WAY worse than Phantom Menace.

I totally disagree that Episode 1 is the worst. At least it had the podrace, and 1 great lightsaber dual. Attack of the Clones is the worst because it had NOTHING. The CG was even more intrusive, the "romance" subplot with Anakin and Padme is one of the worst romances in film history, and the big battle at the end is laughable bad. Just dozens of extras running around on a green screen with prop sabers and no semblance of direction. AND THEY MADE YODA FIGHT...dumbest idea ever and totally ruining of the character. I hate that movie.

This playthrough explains why there's no cutscene between Luke arriving at the cantinia and getting on the Falcon because he just jumped his speeder into the back of the Falcon. :)

That Cantina Song has been playing in my head since I saw this ep..

Hayden Christensen is actually a really good actor, I've seen other films of his. It's just star wars did him no justice

attack of the clones was way worse than episode 1 imho

"Luuuke, I am your father, and a scorpion. Therefore you are half-scorpion! Muahahahaha!" I remember that scene from the movie. Riveting. A real page-turner. That's why Owen and Beru give Luke blue milk because it's scorpion milk.

There's actually a fan translation of this game and it also explains why Darth Vader turns into these different animals. They're basically other darths in disguise.

Well, it´s 2019 and we all can say that Star Wars is dead.

James' daughter's theme song: Shes gonna take you to the future With all the brand new games that suck turds

Begins hopeful enough, A New Hope if you will... then you realise when ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!

When Mike shouts "come ooooooon" it sounds like Jerry Seinfeld

PLAY THE FUCKING GAME

if only he knew how bad 7 8 9 would fall if only we all knew

Count Dooku was swatting at Yoda like a pissed cat!

Absolutely great episode! Love the conversation!

Spot on for how episode 1 was...so remember that, seeing it day one at midnight and pretty much falling asleep during the movie..but man, it was total shit

Ugh. So sick of everyone picking on the prequels. To this day, I still like them better than the original trilogy.

James n Mike Mondays, easing you Monday blues for the past 3 years :D

This is getting me even more excited for Star Wars! Love it!

Sorry, episode 2 is the worst of the franchise

Episodes 7,8,9 are an abomination. TOTAL TRASH

"Luke, I am your father, and I am also, a fucking scorpion!"

I can't help seeing the joker character when Mike has his moments of laughter hahaha!
