Bounty Hunter II - Pit Of Carkoon

How many Bounty Hunters does it take to knock a Jedi and a Scoundrel into the Pit Of Carkoon?

Apparently not enough?

This is the second video in the Bounty Hunter Series. I posted the first one here last year and hadn't seen the new one until now.

It always reminds me  of Topless Robots #3 reason why Luke Skywalker is a complete idiot

3) His Insanely Stupid Plan To Rescue Han Solo from Jabba The Hutt
Let us imagine that Luke Skywalker is trying to tell you his plan to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt.
Luke: "Okay so, first we get Lando Calrissian posing as a guard inside Jabba's Palace."
You: "How do we do that?"
Luke: "We just get him a costume and he--just walks in."
You: "Um, okay, say it's that easy. So then Lando gets Han out of the carbonite and we pick them up and get away?"
Luke: "No. What happens next is that I put my lightsaber in a hidden compartment in R2-D2 and send R2-D2 and C3PO to Jabba the Hutt as gifts."
You: "Wait, why-"
Luke: "Just listen. Next we have Leia pose as a bounty hunter arriving at Jabba's palace with Chewbacca captured. She's going to hand over Chewbacca to Jabba."
You: "Wait, why? Wouldn't that mean we would now have to rescue Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C3PO? That just makes it more difficult, right?"
Luke: "Just go with me here. Next, Leia is going to sneak around at night and get Han Solo out of the carbonite, but get captured."
You: "What? Why would we get everyone captured like that?"
Luke: "Now I'll show up, use my Force powers to get in to Jabba's fortress, get past the guards to an audience before Jabba and then use my Jedi mind trick to get Jabba to release everyone. If that doesn't work, then I'll get captured."
You: "Okay, if you can just use your Force powers to get in to the palace and all the way to Jabba, then let's just have you go in right now and get Han out."
Luke: "No, that's stupid. I'm going to get myself captured. Because then you see, we'll be taken to the sarlacc pit and then, when we're on the skiff, I'll get sent out first and then R2-D2 will manage to get to the top of Jabba's sail barge and shoot out my lightsaber, and then with Lando's help, we'll just--rescue everyone and then everything will be fine!"
You: "That is the stupidest plan I've ever heard of."
Luke:"I've thought of everything."
You: "Clearly you didn't."

Oh, poor Luke! I know you're still new to being a Jedi... but, really? Really? 

Thanks to DBSW for this great video

Executor Reception

This is a great little animation by Jim Mehsling about what happened behind the scenes on the Executor when Darth Vader calls for all the Bounty Hunters.

Being a receptionist anyway, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be in that position on the Executor? Oh hell, I'd probably be force choked with in a week.

"Thank you for calling the Executor, Star Destroyer of Darth Vader, this is Braeby speaking, how can I help you?"

"Master Vader, you have a call from the Emperor on line 1. Hold please while I transfer your call."

I love that Boba Fett thinks he's all important even though no one cares, Bossk has no expressions and just makes noises and that Dengar is just plain stupid. I love the paper towel around his head and that is totally what it actually looks like.

This is one of my favorite parts of Empire (other than the whole Han and Leia thing) and I've always enjoyed seeing what other people think about it. If you want to go with the EU account, I suggest reading Tales of the Bounty Hunter. It's actually pretty good. It's all short stories about what happens to all of them before after this faithful meeting. Or for a different account, which I can't decide if I like better or not, is the Graphic Novel of Shadow of the Empire. (The novel for that book is an even better read but doesn't involve the Bounty Hunters at all)

I was also going to throw in the Bounty Hunters scene from Robot Chicken's Star Wars Special, but I can't watch it, do to the fact that I'm in Canada (LAME!) But if you haven't already seen it, you should go out and it it (and the second one). Because they ROCK!
