[edit] Sketches

  1. Boba Fett slaughters Ewoks after the destruction of the second Death Star, and then gets passionate with Leia Organa in her slave dancer attire. This sequence is then revealed to be the Nerd's own making, with the Nerd describing it as "the most awesomest thing that ever happened in the history of ever".
  2. Palpatine goes to get a haircut. (His hairstyle when he walks into the barbershop is a reference to the mad scientist at the start of Robot Chicken.) The barber offers emotional support, and an idea for catching Han Solo and Leia.
  3. The Geonosian Arena from Episode II is advertised like a monster truck rally TV commercial.
  4. Luke is depressed over Ben Kenobi's death. Leia points out that while he met Ben only a short time ago, she just lost her entire family as well as billions of her people.
  5. A stormtrooper is forced to take part in "Take Your Daughter to Work Day," bringing his little girl along during the attack on the Tantive IV, and later to Tatooine where he ends up snapping at his daughter and then runs off after his crying daughter to apologize.
  6. The droid that Vader uses to torture Leia is "Dr. Ball, M.D.", who has his own 70s-style drama series.
  7. Admiral Ackbar listens to auditions for a theme song for Admiral Ackbar Fish Sticks, but the Bith group is shot down.
  8. A stormtrooper sobs and demands an explanation for why Leia killed his comrade, even though they were going to stun her.
  9. Mouse droids are actually piloted by mice.
  10. Anakin has doubts about slaughtering Jedi younglings, but overcomes them by going to his "happy place," a fantasy about the grass and flower fields on Naboo. This later gives Padmé a major case of disconcertion when he decides to bring home some freshly cut flowers.
  11. Just before the start of the Battle of Hoth, two AT-ATs jump out of line to have a drag race, thus resulting in the entire mission to end as a disaster.
  12. A krayt dragon questions the logic of planets being defined by one topographical feature and optimistically plans to explore Tatooine for something besides desert. One week later, C-3PO comes across his skeleton.
  13. Palpatine contacts Vader via hologram and angrily tells him to stop ramming ships into asteroids. He then orders a classified ad for bounty hunters and generally insults his apprentice.
  14. Jar-Jar is the celebrity spokesperson in a Geico-like commercial, but acts too hysterical for the commercial to work.
  15. When discussing the capture of the Millennium Falcon and its crew with the bounty hunters, Bossk wonders why he is the only one polite enough to take off his shoes, Vader tries to figure out if the motionless IG-88 is actually paying attention, and Dengar makes the mistake of saying he wants to disintegrate Han Solo instead of just capturing him, which prompts Darth Vader into demanding "no disintegrations".
  16. Lando admires the Slave I, but has doubts about the name.
  17. Han, Chewie, and Leia have a meal with Vader, Han and Boba wordlessly taunt each other, and Vader rubs the destruction of Alderaan in Leia's face. (Reused from the episode Moesha Poppins)
  18. Attorney Bob Goldstein is ready to represent those who have been injured by lightsaber-wielding Jedi. The commercial features testimonials from past clients: the Wampa Luke encountered, Ponda Baba after his encounter with Obi-Wan in the cantina, and Darth Maul.
  19. Han knew that Leia loved him, but never knew what Chewie had to say to him.
  20. The "altered" segments of Vader and Lando's deal cumulate into Lando wearing a pink dress, riding a unicycle, wearing clown shoes, and calling himself "Mary" whenever Lando dares complain about the deal.
  21. When Vader offers Luke to rule as father and son, Luke strongly considers (involving a fantasy about fishing, shaving, speed-biking, and having a father-son dance-off against Boba and Jango) and tries to accept but accidentally falls.
  22. A female real estate agent sees Luke fall through a window, but tries to cover it up by talking about how low-price the apartment is. But after a quick check of the apartment (thereby inadvertently contributing further to Luke's troubles), the customer concludes that "Cloud City" would be better off as "Crap City".
  23. Mon Mothma asks for a Calamari meal, unaware that she's sitting at the same table that Admiral Ackbar is sitting at.
  24. Boba recounts a very different tale of how he fell into the Sarlacc, talking about how he killed Chewbacca, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and 67 out of 80 Jedi before he threw a thermal detonator at the remaining 20, and jumped in.
  25. After a hellish trip, Palpatine concludes that a striped suit-case is mocking him, is disappointed with the view of "utter blackness" by his chair, and discovers that his chair is underneath a very noisy vent. One hour after declaring that his day couldn't possibly get any worse, he is thrown in the reactor-shaft by Darth Vader.
  26. In a post-credits, two imperial officers question the logic of the fact that they have instantly "lost" because the Rebels destroyed the second Death Star and killed the Emperor despite the fact that they still control untold numbers of ships and countless worlds.
