Imagine being a collector, admiring your work, finally able to get your hands on a copy of The Star Wars Christmas Special, and George Lucas kicks in your door with a sledgehammer in hand and screams “I FOUND A HAMMER!”
Haha the exact moment he stopped giving a fuck about acting haha, now he competes with Bruce Willis for who can sleep through movies The wookies not being subtitled is SUCH a Lucas decision though haha, he's fucking clueless Somehow managing to foreshadow the shitshow of the prequels It's funny how like only 2/9 of the star wars films are actually great films Jedi is still classic and fun, but started to get janky I'm totally with RLM and Plinkett on how terribly the prequels are edited, written, acted and shot, but the memes and shlock makes them still better than last jedi, which somehow managed to be more annoying and pointless than attack of the clones, and at least that actually had plot points in it, skywalkers a total ADD clusterfuck Most of the games are shit besides rogue squadron, tie fighter, fallen order & Kotor Mandalorians the only quality thing in ages And now that the dude bros have taken it over from the nerds into a global franchise it's just a joke now

+Caddicarus Oh shit it's Caddy.... Yeah It's kind of cool seeing him get this far. Also, who wants to see a Guest Grumps with John and they all play that game? I know I would've.
Here’s the weirdest thing: the cartoon segment actually got released on Disney+ on its own, which may be the closest we’ll ever get to an official rerelease of this.
It's called Story Of The Faithful Wookie. I haven't watched it yet, but it must be good enough to stand on its own as a show, and good enough to actually release.
Ha! Ha ha...! It-- it's a trick! It's all a trick! This can't be real! They're... just trying to divide us! Yeah! This was all just a stunt to get us to let it go. In fact, I-- I think Arin was computer generated! Yes! CG Arin! CG...? CG also happens to be the acronym for Conspiracy Grumps! Ha ha! Yes! There's a conspiracy here! I know there is! It just has to! Why... won't they... just... admit... that something... happened...?! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Me too, I can't believe this was in 2015, sheesh time flies. I'm glad they got together for a crossover, always wanted that, and still want another one :P
Trancer Based on Dan and Arin’s comments on the subject at a panel, it seems like, at the very least, a Guest Grumps would have been possible, had it not been for the controversy surrounding Jon’s political comments. It may never happen now. It depends on public opinion, really.

I was an idiot and read his Reddit q&a before this finale and spoiled myself. I've never really cared for getting spoiled for anything until this video; at least I didn't ruin anything for myself last year with Korra. Just wish Arin would be a better actor than this.
@@IgnoreThisCommentBro Its probably not December 25th, but rather the day before the 2 week Christmas holiday, you know, how in elementary school you'd go to school before the break but you'd just play games and not do work.
- Impossible evil! What wretched part of the galaxy did you spawn from? - Los Angeles. Jon cried out in pain as he remembered his fallen friend, his kung-fu brother, who left him to join the dark side - the west coast
@@ryanaaron4311 also he looks like wax mannequin because he is caked in multiple layers of makeup to fade the scar and stitches he got from the accident
Fun fact. Without the holiday special we never would have gotten the Mandalorian as a tv show. The cartoon segment of the special was the first thing Boba Fett was in, and without that we never would have gotten him or Jango or the entire history of mandalore and the mandalorians and a huge part of the clone wars would have never existed. So yeah we have the holiday special to thank for a huge part of star wars continuity
The cartoon segment of this was the only part Lucas was happy with, he even included it as a bonus on the blu-ray set and would rehire the animation studio for the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, even the late Don Francks (of shows like X-Men TAS and movies like Rock and Rule and My Bloody Valentine) was brought back to voice Boba again.
I'm pretty sure it would have happened anyway. The ideas were already a thing before or during production, right? Could have been implemented elsewhere if not the Holiday Special.
@@diablotry5154 holiday special was after a new hope but before empire and Boba was not in the original new hope he was added in a non speaking cameo appearance in the 1997 re-release
That's not true. Episode V was filmed simultaneously to this atrocity here and they put Boba in it as a kind of "sneak peak" at The Empire Strikes Back. But Boba would have been in the film anyways.
I've watched these so many times and just realized the whole Jacques knocking Palpatine off the ledge is totally a call back to the clock tower episode!
In that episode Jon jokingly says “Remember that powerful scene when Palpatine falls into the void because he was scarred of some birds?” And they actually had him fall into the void from a bird
***** Y'know I've been watching Game Grumps from the VERY. BEGINNING. And seeing Arin and Jon in the same video really brought back the old times, to me and a hell of a lot of others.
That was the most beautiful summation and laying to rest the original grump duo could have had. Jon is nothing short of a genius in perfectly celebrating grumps transparently without bringing back the Danhate. I can genuinely put the resentment behind me. Thank you, Jontronman, and thank you, Greased Lightning. Together, you had really good hair.
Aetherian I honestly think things worked out for the best. JonTron is so awesome on his channel and Danny and arin are amazing together so it's not a bad thing to me
Having been unaware of this dance before today, you have changed my life. I AM A NEW MAN, AND I THANK YOU!! Amazing episode, 15/10 And also, Boba Fett first appeared in the holiday special?!?!?! You're sending me into a wikipedia wormhole!! (and maybe wookieepedia, too)
+zLFOBz Boba-fett was actually never in A New Hope, George Lucas just filmed footage of Boba Fett years later on a greenscreen and inserted him into Episode IV as fanservice. So this is indeed the first appearance of Boba Fett.
It peeves me to hear him say "The Original C-3PO" when Anthony Daniels has been the only one to play him because he'll do literally anything Star Wars related
+The Goofy Gouf That's... very believable actually. In fact, I don't think anyone's had a strong reaction to the endings of the prequels except for a vocal majority of hatred.
Jon...you're such an incredible actor. Like, your talent is paramount. Even as you ham it up for your scenes here, it still feels natural. Thats incredible
11:48 Why is this trooper so adorable to me? He's like a kid watching his favorite T.V show. The way he turned his head to look at the guy just melts my heart. Way to go, Trooper. You made this enjoyable for the 6 seconds you're on camera.
Dusk Legend Currently at the bunker, wasting the last few packs of my portable charger to comfort myself before going out to war again. I tried evading some police officers, got some bruises here and there, but I can manage.
Looking back now, this was kinda the best Jontron reboot episode. If you've followed game grumps from the beginning. jon left to pursue other projects and moved. So the first game grumps were separated. From what we seen on youtube (we don't know behind the scenes when they didn't talked about their stories on game grumps), they were really good friends. Also alot of us were upset they separated, and rumors were spreading about them. What made this episode great, is because years later, jon and arin are back together, even if its for one small scene.
@@anthonybernero9720 it's not when you're directing it at a "human"🤦🏼♀️ how did that fly over your head? It's the whole point of of the joke. Why do people take things so literally?
one of the reasons luke seems so weird is because this was filmed right after he was in a car crash. which is also why he gets mauled by the wampa at the beginning of empire
***** mark hamill was in a car crash after the original star wars, so he had to have facial reconstructive surgery that changed his appearance slightly. this holiday special was filmed shortly after said car crash, so they loaded up his face with makeup. then when directing empire, they made the wampa attack at the beginning to explain why his face was messed up
huh, I never knew that. Honestly I didn't think that really was Hamill when I first saw this. Just some guy in terrible makeup that kinda looked like him.
Hylian Fox yeah, it's kinda crazy, isn't it? for one thing it puts in perspective how much these actors are just real people who run into those kind of random misfortunes like anyone else.
I knew he looked a little off, and was wondering for a minute if it was actually someone else. but wow, I had no idea he was in an accident and went on with filming this and empire strikes back while he was recovering
@@jsh020 I don't know what in that clip would lead you to believe they aren't friends. It's pretty obvious he's talking about not working together professionally because of all the bad press Jon had brought on himself, but business is business, it has nothing to do with being friends. If anything the fact that he delicately hints at "probably not gonna happen" instead of coming right out and saying "nah fuck that guy" (which would have earned him kudos from all the people who were pissed at Jon) seems to make it pretty obvious that they are friends and it's awkward for Arin to have to say no to working with Jon in any capacity.
"How could this be bad, anyways? Look at the cast! Mark Hamill, Harrison himself, Carrie Fisher, the original C-3PO..." ...that one didn't age quite so well
+Catty Hopeflyte (Charlyoddsox) They were never not friends. Jon just went back to making videos for his channel. The story did not end, for the legend continues...
Chewbacca is pretty old and has been around before the events of episode 1. With all of the fighting he did and then helping Han Solo I’m not surprised that he lives in such a nice place.
jon and arin were a comedy duo for the ages. a tragic loss, seriously. the chemistry was just so organic so the jokes themselves werent funny per se, but it was real and natural. iirc ego said this whole end part was improv
Fun fact Carrie Fisher had a copy of the Christmas Special apparently so she had something to play at parties to get people to leave
I don't care that I read this in a UA-cam comment, my heart has accepted this as true.
She’s talked about it in quite a few interviews, if that makes you feel any better. Carrie was one of a kind. The world is a little darker without her :/
I'd be the type of person to stay to watch it.

Somehow managing to foreshadow the shitshow of the prequels

Jedi is still classic and fun, but started to get janky
I'm totally with RLM and Plinkett on how terribly the prequels are edited, written, acted and shot, but the memes and shlock makes them still better than last jedi, which somehow managed to be more annoying and pointless than attack of the clones, and at least that actually had plot points in it, skywalkers a total ADD clusterfuck

I was an idiot and read his Reddit q&a before this finale and spoiled myself. I've never really cared for getting spoiled for anything until this video; at least I didn't ruin anything for myself last year with Korra.
Just wish Arin would be a better actor than this.
ffnovice7 Nah, I found it perfect. They seemed just like the friends they were before.
Glad at least someone did :3 Merry 2016!
I made the mistake of going into the comments section before finishing the video... T _ T
you ever just get sad because something like this probably wont happen again?
@@alexsosa6588 no they mean jon and arin crossover
@@gruffgrim5915 why not?
@@parakeeni9220 because jon said something that the game grumps didn't agree with
Nope more like days
@@gruffgrim5915 Well? What did he say?!?
I'm not really a star wars fan, but can we appreciate for a moment the production level of this series of videos?
You lucky bastard. Avoid the rabbit hole.
@@tinobemellow I mean, I fell into the rabbit hole, I just find the discourse around Star Wars much more interesting than the movies themselves
it was sponsored by Maker studios, i think. so yeah, disney money
My science teacher shows his class the special every Christmas. God bless
That's fucked that y'all still have class on Christmas
@@IgnoreThisCommentBro Its probably not December 25th, but rather the day before the 2 week Christmas holiday, you know, how in elementary school you'd go to school before the break but you'd just play games and not do work.
You got a damn nice science teacher then.
I wish I was in his class
Reminds me of a teacher I used to have, who had a vintage millennium falcon in his room next to a foot tall jar jar binks that was missing an ear
That moment in 2019 when Disney makes "Life Day" canon in "The Mandalorian."
aka Duffy doesn’t help that the rifle the Mandalorian uses came from the cartoon segment
Does this make Chewbacca's pappy's porn addiction canon too?
Life Day was canon before disney
That Life Day moment killed me, it makes me so happy that nerds get to tear their hair out all over again.

hi baby
They way mark Hamill looks at the camera it feels like he's rehearsing for the joker and he just doesn't know it yet lol
Why doesn't he blink more!??
@@bigman25plus25 He was in a car accident right before the shoot
@@ryanaaron4311 also he looks like wax mannequin because he is caked in multiple layers of makeup to fade the scar and stitches he got from the accident
Cocaine was my first thought seeing him all bug eyed
21:46 omg i just realised when jon takes arins mask off it plays the 'hey im grump, im not so grump' jingle
AHHH amazing, didn't pick up on that, good work :D!
Oney knows how to make the little touches count
Fantastic pick.
FinnBoBob That One Guy
Holy shit.
Fun fact. Without the holiday special we never would have gotten the Mandalorian as a tv show. The cartoon segment of the special was the first thing Boba Fett was in, and without that we never would have gotten him or Jango or the entire history of mandalore and the mandalorians and a huge part of the clone wars would have never existed. So yeah we have the holiday special to thank for a huge part of star wars continuity
The cartoon segment of this was the only part Lucas was happy with, he even included it as a bonus on the blu-ray set and would rehire the animation studio for the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, even the late Don Francks (of shows like X-Men TAS and movies like Rock and Rule and My Bloody Valentine) was brought back to voice Boba again.
I'm pretty sure it would have happened anyway. The ideas were already a thing before or during production, right? Could have been implemented elsewhere if not the Holiday Special.
Boba was in the OT though...
@@diablotry5154 holiday special was after a new hope but before empire and Boba was not in the original new hope he was added in a non speaking cameo appearance in the 1997 re-release
That's not true. Episode V was filmed simultaneously to this atrocity here and they put Boba in it as a kind of "sneak peak" at The Empire Strikes Back. But Boba would have been in the film anyways.
One of the best endings to a video I've ever witnessed. :D
Ross Is a pilot in the background!
Hopefully people will shut the fuck about jon and arin bullshit now
I legit started watching this series last week and had no idea the fate of the Game Grumps relationship. very nice surprise. :)
I've watched these so many times and just realized the whole Jacques knocking Palpatine off the ledge is totally a call back to the clock tower episode!
Just now?
20:50
Logan Stewart it’s like at the end of the thing I think
In that episode Jon jokingly says
“Remember that powerful scene when Palpatine falls into the void because he was scarred of some birds?”
And they actually had him fall into the void from a bird
SWEET SWEET REUNION!! 8D
Aaaahh the ending made my YEAR!
+TheJege12 Wow, you must not be a very big fan of Game Grumps or that ending would have made your entire life -_-
+Jj Beasley well you're a party pooper, aren't you?
***** Y'know I've been watching Game Grumps from the VERY. BEGINNING.
And seeing Arin and Jon in the same video really brought back the old times, to me and a hell of a lot of others.
+TheJege12 I'm with you, man. The ending was the fucking nirvana to me
+TheJege12 REUNITE AND IT FEELS SO GOOOOOOD!!!
0:32 I like how Ford started to nod as he remembered but then realized himself and turned it into a shake
That was the most beautiful summation and laying to rest the original grump duo could have had. Jon is nothing short of a genius in perfectly celebrating grumps transparently without bringing back the Danhate. I can genuinely put the resentment behind me. Thank you, Jontronman, and thank you, Greased Lightning. Together, you had really good hair.
Aetherian I honestly think things worked out for the best. JonTron is so awesome on his channel and Danny and arin are amazing together so it's not a bad thing to me
JON AND ARIN WIN!!!

WHERE IS THE LOVE IN EVERY FADING RAINBOW
Having been unaware of this dance before today, you have changed my life. I AM A NEW MAN, AND I THANK YOU!! Amazing episode, 15/10
And also, Boba Fett first appeared in the holiday special?!?!?! You're sending me into a wikipedia wormhole!! (and maybe wookieepedia, too)
Hello!!!
+schmoyoho
Make a song about it ... ;)
+schmoyoho ayy lmao a song about StarCade... I like it
+zLFOBz Boba-fett was actually never in A New Hope, George Lucas just filmed footage of Boba Fett years later on a greenscreen and inserted him into Episode IV as fanservice. So this is indeed the first appearance of Boba Fett.
the dance is in JonTron's Star Wars Kinect video
It peeves me to hear him say "The Original C-3PO" when Anthony Daniels has been the only one to play him because he'll do literally anything Star Wars related
23:10
Arin: "My dad is Adolf Hitler"
Jontron: "yes he is and he will always be!"
Goodly ooooo
brickfighter 14 No, the question is, how are he and Danny friends?
Goodly yi

Yes, that final shot with George Lucas coughing blood was pretty emotional.
Seriously though Zach Hadel is a blessing
Jon...you're such an incredible actor. Like, your talent is paramount. Even as you ham it up for your scenes here, it still feels natural. Thats incredible

Someone write a deep lore for this guy. If "Wilrow Hood" can get a story. Someone give this guy a story.

"YOU GAVE THE MAN PORN!!!!!" best line in this video.
“They don’t even seem to like eachother. Just making passive aggressive jabs”

So then... that was an actually accurate depiction of a family household...
"raccoons. at least 5. i've seen 4, but there's people that say that there's like a spotted one that i haven't seen." still Arin's best line
2 1/2 years of not talking to each other just to build up for this very moment!?!?
Totally worth it.
+GameAce6 It also would have been kinda awesome if one of them was like, "The other guys was funnier, anyway".
+GameAce6 and you assumed they never talked to each between those 2.5 years why?

zLFOBz FUCK, I meant Chris.
In this scene in the actual movie it plays the star wars theme like that
Looking back now, this was kinda the best Jontron reboot episode. If you've followed game grumps from the beginning. jon left to pursue other projects and moved. So the first game grumps were separated. From what we seen on youtube (we don't know behind the scenes when they didn't talked about their stories on game grumps), they were really good friends. Also alot of us were upset they separated, and rumors were spreading about them. What made this episode great, is because years later, jon and arin are back together, even if its for one small scene.
Remember that scene where palpatine falls off because birds were bodering him

JON AND ARIN WIN! They realize friendship's more important...
A broken marriage out of ten... Sorry, wrong channel
one of the reasons luke seems so weird is because this was filmed right after he was in a car crash. which is also why he gets mauled by the wampa at the beginning of empire
***** mark hamill was in a car crash after the original star wars, so he had to have facial reconstructive surgery that changed his appearance slightly. this holiday special was filmed shortly after said car crash, so they loaded up his face with makeup. then when directing empire, they made the wampa attack at the beginning to explain why his face was messed up
huh, I never knew that. Honestly I didn't think that really was Hamill when I first saw this. Just some guy in terrible makeup that kinda looked like him.
Hylian Fox yeah, it's kinda crazy, isn't it? for one thing it puts in perspective how much these actors are just real people who run into those kind of random misfortunes like anyone else.
hammerheadshark45 so THAT'S why he looks so weird and heavy makeup. Kinda reminds me of when Harrison Ford crashed that airplane last year
I knew he looked a little off, and was wondering for a minute if it was actually someone else. but wow, I had no idea he was in an accident and went on with filming this and empire strikes back while he was recovering
I STILL GET WEIRDLY EMOTIONAL WHEN THE GRUMPS JINGLE PLAYS
OMG I just realized that was a Game Grumps jingle
When? When does the jingle play?
Was watching this while in line for the force awakens, I freaked out and everyone looked at me like I was crazy
11:02 the greatest quote of all time happens here it’s a real tear jerker
I’m glad to see that Arin and Jon are still friends, it makes me happy.
sadly they probably arent anymore after the controversy last year according to this
ua-cam.com/video/Mc9dbQwX9xo/v-deo.html
Ugh, well shit man
@@jsh020 I don't know what in that clip would lead you to believe they aren't friends. It's pretty obvious he's talking about not working together professionally because of all the bad press Jon had brought on himself, but business is business, it has nothing to do with being friends. If anything the fact that he delicately hints at "probably not gonna happen" instead of coming right out and saying "nah fuck that guy" (which would have earned him kudos from all the people who were pissed at Jon) seems to make it pretty obvious that they are friends and it's awkward for Arin to have to say no to working with Jon in any capacity.
I remember hearing both dan and Arin give a nice shoutout to Jon on GG so let’s hope everything is still kosher

did anyone else realize that the reason Emperor Palpatine died was because he backed off into the nebulous void because a Bird was bothering him?

jon and arin were a comedy duo for the ages. a tragic loss, seriously. the chemistry was just so organic so the jokes themselves werent funny per se, but it was real and natural. iirc ego said this whole end part was improv
