Whoa! I just noticed that the Official Star Wars Blog ran a piece the other day on our animated cartoon series, SuperNews! sweet!!
Current TV’s web series SuperNews takes a funny look at trendy topics and news items, and then animates them into hilarious Web cartoons. Since Star Wars is ever-present in pop culture it makes sense that some characters show up in a few episodes.
One of the cameos they reference is Boba Fett’s appearance in “Rambo vs. Terror Part 1.” If you haven’t seen it, take a look:
More recently, Rush Limbaugh was featured as everyone’s favorite Tattoine gangster in “Jabba the Rush.” Here’s what the Star Wars Blog had to say:
Conservatives kneel before the almighty Rush Limbaugh (as Jabba the Hutt) to beg forgiveness. Add bonus — Ann Coulter as Salacious Crumb!
Looks like they enjoyed Super_Josh’s take on Ann. What do you think?
Seeing SuperNews! featured on the Official Star Wars Blog has inspired me to dust off my lightsaber and play Jedi for an hour or so re-watch the original trilogy. perhaps this weekend.
If you haven’t checked out their blog yet, you really should. It’s chock full of Star Wars references that surface across the interwebs and in other forms of media. The write-up of last week’s episode of LOST, titled “Some Like it Hoth,” in which Hurley tries to re-write The Empire Strikes Back was a personal fave. Check out their post, titled “The Empire Strikes LOST.” Great stuff.
Here’s another recent favorite, a mash-up called Star Wars as MacGyver:
From the same fan who brought us Star Wars as Dallas comes another excellent TV intro mashup. This time it’s Macgyver! Will Luke blow up the Death Star using chewing gum and a drinking straw? We may never know.
Did that spark an idea for another ’80s TV show + Star Wars mash-up? Too late, the same fan just released a Star Wars as Airwolf clip. Best dig out some old footage from The A-Team.
To the folks over at The Official Star Wars Blog, thanks again! You make our geek hearts jump for joy.
