film: Star Wars Spin-Offs

August 15 2008 | Arnold Pistorius

Here’s a right treat for all you Star Wars fans out there.

 To coincide with the release of The Clone Wars movie, I proudly present The Top Ten Star Wars Spin-Offs Of All Time.

 The list encompasses comedy, internet sketches, computer games and a few other odds and sods.

 There will be some things you are familiar with, and - I hope - a few bits and pieces that are new to you.

 There are bound to be a few bones of contention, so do hop into the Forum and let me know your thoughts.

Is there anything I have missed? If so do please provide links.

 Anyway - just press play. It’s a great vid.

previous: In Bruges

OMG that was f**king awesome!!
Nice work Justin - i had completely forgotten about that animated Star Wars series - have you personally watched?
If so, how many stars would you give it?
I might have to track it down from somewhere…
Also, that Robot Chicken Star Wars looks hilarious ;p

Hey Beau - glad you liked it!

Animated Star Wars series was a high 3 star.

Robot Chicken Star Wars totally rocks. Absolutely hilarious.

You must not have seen Backyard Productions’ versions of Star Wars Episode II and III. They must be the biggest british produced Star Wars fan films, and worth a glance ;)

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the video! Was pleased with how many of the list I recognised :P

How on gods green earth could you leave out the original spoof (1977 “Hardware Wars”).
and 1997 parody “Troops”

Mike - Chad Vader is awesome, and I should have certainly had it in the list. I’ve even met the two guys that do it…we spent a day in the pub in London believe it or not!

The show was great… but wait just one minute!!!

Where the hell is Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs”?!?!?!

Even though it’s not a ordinary spin-off, I think it should have been mentioned.

That’s a good list. I do find it rather disconcerting that the Christmas Special, Vader being a Smartass and Star Wars Kid ranked Higher than Clone Wars. In fact that very thing caused me to spend the the 1st few hours after viewing screaming wild obscenities, drinking cheap American beer (eg. Icehouse, Colt 45), and crying like a hungry-wet baby. But when I calmed down I came to this realization: “Hey, my main man Justin doesn’t see Clone Wars as I do - that being the absolute best motion picture Star Wars story since Empire Strikes Back - but he does acknowledge its greatness enough to include it on his list and that’s not nothing. After having done a bit more sobbing and sniffling I am now able to say - you made wonderful choices. May the Schwartz be with you.

Me love you long time?
