Did someone say "prequel"?

Post by Karsten_Thiel » Sun Mar 05, 2006 4:30 pm

HEDONISM BOT: A written trailer? How delightfully absurd!

I do think that something like this hasn't been done before; basically, as our friend Hedonism Bot already pointed out, a preview of a fanscript written as if it were an actually movie trailer. It might be a bit bumpy in places, but then again it's merely intended to whet your appetite somewhat for the upcoming Bart Wars: Episode I. I hope you'll enjoy it! :)

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Highlights:

Darth Bob is genius.

Please kill Cletus.

Krusta's speech is priceless.

Eagrly looking forward to it.

A "Bart Wars" prequel! *head explodes out of general happiness*

I had some doubts about this, mainly because "The Phantom Menace" is... how shall I put this... special.  :) Anyway, if this trailer is anything to go by, you've still got it. The only problem I can see is having Margidala (who's good so far, by the way) and the protocol droid in the same story, but it shouldn't pose too much of a difficulty. Darth Megalomaniac is a great name, too.

Steve pointed out some of the best bits already. Allow me to add: Willie as Qui-Gon makes me very happy. Darth Bob is indeed genius.

Oh, and do kill Cletus, by all means.

I figure he's got some kinda joke planned for that little bit o' confusion.

Worry not, I've got it all planned. ;D

Glad you enjoyed it so far. :)
