      Storm trooper helmets are GL’s caricature of excessive plastic surgery: dimple chin implant, massive jaw implants, botoxed forehead (raise your eye brows, you can’t, can ya?), no nose to speak of, check implants, massive lip injections, no hair, etc. He wanted the bad guys to represent the vain actors he has to deal with every day

      I could not stand this channel longer than twelve minutes. I am not an actual Star Wars fan, but decided to check a few parodies, and the jokes and dialogue in this one feel forced and tedious. I have ran into too many people like that trooper in real life to find this in any way amusing.

      The same thing has happened to Star Trek and its fan films. Collectively, these are more than just franchises -- they are present-day mythology, and the stories are owned by the people who revere them, tell them, and add to them. That's why, unlike most franchises, fans get *very angry* at the current copyright holders for mistreating it.

      yep. In fact in WW1, There where so many wolves displaced from their habitats and drawn to the dead body's on the battlefield, the Germans and Russians decided to quit fighting each other for a few days and focus on clearing the wolves from the battlegrounds before they commenced fighting.
      EDIT:
      i did some digging. It's fact there where many wolves attracted to the bodies and also that they where displaced and formed a threat to both German and Russian soldiers. So it is not unreasonable to think that at certain moments both parties had a common enemy they'd rather be fighting. However the "wolf truce" i described seems to be romanticised and is never confirmed by Russian reports (like the Christmas truce was). I seem to be mislead a bit by news articles that where quoting eachother rather than independant sources. So I am backtracking a bit here. I don't think it's accurate to call it an actual "truce".

      This is correct. Many times a posted soldier would be given an order to guard the perimeter or the like. If an enemy patrol went by but wasn’t attacking they would many times let them go because their orders weren’t to just kill every enemy. They saw them simply as other kids like themselves and not an enemy at that moment.

    you guys are writing realistic yet consistantly hilarious dialogue with well placed callbacks that dont pull you out of the story. showing the humanity to stormtroopers as just guys and not a faceless evil which is something people have always wanted. youre excelling at things that the biggest media giant cant manage. such as good dialogue, likeable and relatable characters, and subtle callbacks that fit into the diologue and story which negates the need for big action scenes and nostalga bait that disney relies to heavily on. thanks for taking the time to give star wars fans something we can be proud of. i hope you guys see how much we appreciate the work youre doing and continue this series. im waiting for season three with bated breath❤

    I don't know how this popped up on my feed but I am so happy I watched it all the way through. Freaking hilarious!

    This is so masterfully done man! I'm an old school RvB fan from back in the day, and this hit all my nostalgia nerves. Proof that the concept was solid and will always work. Such a fun sandbox of universe lore to play with too!

    “The white zone is for immiediate loading and unloading only”. Very unexpected reference for this made me chuckle

    I like how he gave the stormtroopers lots of personality. They are usually so drone like. First time I've ever seen a stormtrooper and thought there's real people under that armor. I always had the impression of cold drones or clones who don't think for themselves. The way the one crossed his legs and reacted to the Jedi all but took the armor right off him. This was really good.

      It is. This is just the compilation of the season because The Algo likes longer vids

    Even though I’ve seen (most of) this before, it’s still laugh out loud funny. Really great creativity and writing. There’s clearly room for more humor in the Star Wars universe!

    I love this series. It is so well done, and the trooper’s interaction are hilarious, and, I would like to believe, spot on, for both sides. It’s awesome how both veterans have taken a rookie under their wings, and they are both just trying to survive this conflict. Also, I love the references to the “skinny blonde guy with a glow stick” - just brilliant.
    I hope there will be a season 2.

      They have no humor in them, I think, the Cartoon series tried to humanize them a bit but their design id =s just unpersonal.

    This is THE BEST SW content produced in decades! I stumbled across this and so glad I did. Well done and super funny! Funny that the fans produce much better content with a fraction of the budget Disney dedicates to their projects and can't seem to get it right. Awesome work!!

      Normie with the crazy hyperbole alert. Likely sheltered and never seen anything funny before this, or intellectually challenged. It's good, but only a lame normie would take a spoof as far as you did. Decades means Likely Return of the Jedi an Empire Strikes Back. Slow your roll, normie hack.

      That is too funny, I thought the same thing with John Mulaney except I had it mixed with Will Forte. But even more the veteran guard is a dead ringer for Albert Brooks.

    This is so good, funny ,and entertaining that this should be what Disney produces rather than a flimsy film/series that only ticks off boxes on a sheet of paper regarding DEI.
    There's character development in this mini series. It holds to the lore. The short stories are hilarious without being cheesy and manage to get the viewers involved in the story.
    How is it a corporation with many billions of dollars, access to the best technology, and having access to established media to push and promote their work can be out done by a fan film series with limited funds and a simple computer program?

      Stormtroopers hauling frozen solo to bobo fetts ship?
      Death star "workers" watching the millennium falcon first arrive stuck outside in a vacumn of space?
