Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars
Reviewed: 11/12/2017
Use The Doof Force Phineas Triangleheader!
Now we come to the meat of the Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars DVD, which is the actual crossover between Phineas & Ferb and Star Wars. Or as I like to call it: a G-rated version of the one Family Guy tried to do years ago. As with Marvel; this is as a result of Disney's merger with LucasFilms; which effectively destroyed LucasArts in the process; but otherwise, it didn't kill off Star Wars as it still continues to make bank beyond what normal productions actually do, as the last Star Wars movie demonstrated as their numbers are numbers even Zootopia and Frozen wishes it could get. Star Wars debuted as a space opera series of movies starting in 1977 with Episode #4: A New Hope. Normally; this would be a bad thing to star a sequel like a Z-grade movie; but unlike Z-grade movies, this movie was really professional and it got over. Oh, boy; it got over massively. Now; I have to make a confession here: I have never really gotten into the Star Wars culture at all. It's not because I don't like Star Wars, it's because I have never watched about 99% of the Star Wars series. The closest I have ever got to that is watching two live action television movies based on Ewoks and maybe watching the Ewoks and Droids cartoons from Nelevana and those were when I was a kid. I have avoided the Star Wars series directly all my life; although I have seen all the references in other productions (Hell; Kit Cloudkicker is considered by David Tower to be the Luke Skywalker, George Lucas wishes he was. I think I have the comments he made in hard copy somewhere in my room.); so it's not like I don't have some inkling about what Star Wars is. Needless to say; Star Wars is serious business and people love it, especially after all these years. Star Wars is a very campy series of movies where it wasn't the best script or visuals or anything; but it was extremely entertaining and it endured through likeable characters and iconic spots that other productions would steal from, including TaleSpin for starters.
Even when the technology improved and the quality of the scripts died down during the later years; Star Wars still had a lot of fans, even with their weakest offerings. It still makes money like crazy, even in slow years and continues to be a force to be reckon with even today. So; I have a lot of respect for this product, even if I haven't seen much of it, because as I mentioned before, many productions use Star Wars as a basis for fun entertainment. As I mentioned before; Disney got the divine rights to Star Wars and many thought this would be watered down like Marvel was; but unlike Marvel, LucasFilms had much more quality control over the product than Marvel did and thus most Star Wars material was pretty much what you would expect from Star Wars. Bigots whined over the new Star Wars productions in recent years; but they do this with anything that is not their male-domination fantasies, so it's par for the course. Now it's time for Star Wars to crossover....into the world where they might do it all. The Marvel production was entertaining, even though it isn't all that great; can Star Wars be the better crossover? Anyhow; the plot of this episode is like this: Phineas and Ferb are living just one moisture farm over from Luke Skywalker on the planet of Tatooine when R2-D2 and the Death Star plans inadvertently fall into their speeder. With the fate of the galaxy thrust upon their shoulders, they hire pilot Isabella, Han Solo's rival, to help them return the plans to the Rebel Alliance. Complicating matters, low-ranking Stormtrooper Candace is intent on busting the Rebels and chases them across the galaxy in hopes of retrieving the Death Star plans. Meanwhile, intergalactic chaos erupts on the Death Star when Perry the Rebelpus is trapped in carbonite while trying to stop Darthenshmirtz from using his new "Sith-inator." The saga takes a turn for the worse when Ferb is accidentally caught in the crossfire of the "Sith-inator," changing him into a full-fledged Sith and leading to a first-time battle between the brothers. So; instead of Marvel characters in Phineas' world; Phineas & Ferb have entered Star Wars' world. Okay. So how does this episode fare? So; let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode was written and storyboarded by Mike Bell, Joshua Pruett, Kyle Menke, John Mathot, Michael B. Singleton, Edward Rivera, Patrick O'Connor, JG Orranita, Eddie Pittman and Michael Diederich. The story was done by Jim Bernstein, Martin Olson, Scott Peterson and Dani Vetere while direction was done by Robert F. Hughes and Sue Perrotto. Animation is done by Wang Films.
We begin this one with the usual Star Wars sequence that we have seen in almost every production this show us; only it's all Phineas & Ferb'ized for the crossover. So we get the SLOW CRAWL OF DOOM as this is episode IVa: May The Ferb Be With You as the crawl is so slow that the male director wants the announcer to go faster. HAHA! Well; he has a point since this is going to take forever at this rate. So additional voices provided by Andre Sogliuzzo and Wayne Brady. Andre according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): An American voice actor,[1] and actor. He is well known for his voice over work in video games, movies and TV shows.

Brandy & Mr. Whiskers as Gasper Le Gecko was his DTVA debut and also appeared on Elena of Avalor as King Verago and Alakazar. Castlevania 2017 animated series as an additional voice and Agents Of Mayham as various characters are his most recent credits. He has 219 Acting credits, 7 Misc credits, 1 Soundtrack credit, 9 Self credits and 3 Archive Footage credits to his resume. Wayne Brady according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Brady's career began as one of the improvisational theater performers in the original (British) version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, along with Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, and host Clive Anderson in 1998 when the last season was filmed in Hollywood, after which he became a regular on the American version, hosted by Drew Carey, which was his first stateside television exposure.
In 2003, Brady won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for his work on the show, the only person to win the award for a television series, as opposed to a special, since Dana Carvey in 1993.[citation needed] He went on to star in his own ABC variety show in 2001 called The Wayne Brady Show, and a daytime talk show of the same name in 2002, which lasted two seasons and won four Daytime Emmy Awards, two of which went to Brady for Outstanding Talk Show Host. Brady guest-starred on The Drew Carey Show in 1999 and 2000 to take part in "Drew Live" and "Drew Live II". On the show, Brady played several games taken from Whose Line Is It Anyway? for the two episodes with other characters. In 2004, Brady joined the Broadway revival of Chicago, playing the role of lawyer Billy Flynn. He appeared briefly in the final episode of the 2004 season of the comedy Reno 911!. He guest-starred on the Sci Fi Channel's hit series show Stargate SG-1 as Trelak, the first prime of Goa'uld System Lord Ares. He made an appearance on Chappelle's Show, poking fun at his squeaky-clean persona.[8] Brady wrote and sang the theme song for Disney's animated series The Weekenders. In 2005, he sang and recorded Jim Brickman's original Disney song "Beautiful" (a cover of All-4-One's 2002 hit "Beautiful As You") and its Christmas version.[9] In 2006, Brady became the host of TV Land's That's What I'm Talking About, a talk show discussing the role of African-Americans in the entertainment industry. From August 29 to September 29, 2006, Brady hosted the Fox show Celebrity Duets. Brady made several guest appearances on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, playing James Stinson, the gay brother of Neil Patrick Harris's character, Barney Stinson.
Brady has also appeared as a guest star for the MTV show Wild 'N Out, and lent his voice to the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken. Brady has also guest-starred in the CBC comedy, Getting Along Famously, alongside his Whose Line is It Anyway? costar Colin Mochrie. He has also appeared on the episode "You Don't Know Jack" on the television show Dirt and also guest-starred on the show 30 Rock, where he played the role of Steven Black, Liz Lemon's date for the Source Awards. Brady was the co-host of the short-lived VH1 show Vinyl Justice in 1998. In 2007, he starred in the ABC Family film The List. He starred in Flirt,[10] a comedy pilot developed for The CW Television Network, which, if it had been picked up, would have aired in the 2006–07 television season. Brady guest-starred as Julius Rock's gifted younger brother, Louis, in the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, and hosted a singing game show called Don't Forget the Lyrics! on Fox until its cancellation in June 2009. He also performs "Wayne Brady: Making $%!^ up" at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada four nights a week.[11][12] He was also on two episodes of Kevin Hill. Brady's debut album was released on September 16, 2008. Brady's version of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" earned Brady a Grammy nomination in the Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance category.[13] Brady started hosting an updated version of the game show Let's Make a Deal for CBS in October 2009, which taped at the Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas and currently tapes in Los Angeles. The show replaced the soap opera Guiding Light, which ended its long-time run. The original host of Let's Make a Deal was Monty Hall, who served as consultant for the new show until his death in 2017. Drew Carey currently hosts The Price Is Right, and thus, both game shows in the CBS daytime lineup (as of September 2017) hold the distinction of being hosted by an alumnus of Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
Brady was the guest host on the May 3, 2010, episode of WWE Raw, where he was involved in an in-ring segment with Edge and Randy Orton, eventually getting RKO'd by Orton.[14] Later that year, in August, Brady played the role of Tom Collins in a staged production of Rent at the Hollywood Bowl. The production was directed by Neil Patrick Harris.[15] Brady appeared alongside Let's Make a Deal announcer Jonathan Mangum in two episodes of Fast and Loose, a new improvisational series on BBC2 hosted by Hugh Dennis, in January 2011. Then, along with Holly Robinson Peete, he co-hosted the 42nd annual NAACP Image Awards on March 4, 2011.[16] On May 3, 2011, he appeared on Dancing With The Stars as the lead performer in a tribute to James Brown, celebrating what would have been Brown's 78th birthday in the Macy's Stars of Dance segment. He has also been a special guest of Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza on GSN. Brady made a cameo in the 2011 song "Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)" by Lloyd featuring Lil Wayne and Andre 3000, narrating Lil Wayne's section of the song. He also appeared as a special guest star in the March 14, 2012, episode of the TV series Psych. Brady starred in the 2012 ABC improvisational comedy series Trust Us with Your Life, and returned for the revival of Whose Line Is It Anyway? in the summer of 2013.[17][18] Brady guest-starred as Don in the Phineas and Ferb episode, "Where's Pinky?" on June 7, 2013, and for one week February 9 to 13, 2015, guest host on The Late Late Show on CBS. In November 2015, Brady replaced Billy Porter as Lola in Kinky Boots on Broadway.[19][20] Brady assumed the lead role of Aaron Burr in the PrivateBank Theatre production of Hamilton in Chicago from January 17 to April 9, 2017.[21][22] He began his career with Earth Girls Are Easy as an extra in 1988. Sofia The First is his DTVA debut as Clover and has also appeared as Eugene in Milo Murphy's Law. The Loud House Movie as Harold is his most recent credit. He has 72 Acting credits, 6 Writing credits, 5 Producer credits, 15 Soundtrack credits, 1 Thanks credit, 146 Self credits and 7 Archive Footage credits to his resume. So the directors want the narrator to go faster and be funnier. The narrator is annoyed; but he does his worst Doofen accent ever and that causes the directors to blow him off and do it without the funny. So here's the entire crawl:
On the Desert planet of Tatooine
lived two
happy young moisture
farmers, who had absolutely
no plans of
leaving or getting
involved in any kind of
intergalactic
shenanigans.
Unbeknownst to them the Galactic
Empire had
recently finished
constructing its ultimate weapon,
the DEATH
STAR.
Meanwhile, having learned the
whereabouts of
the Death Star's
plans, the rebels send their best
platypus
agent to obtain them, in
hopes of finding a weakness.
And none of this is canon, so just relax.
I am very disappointed by the end line because haters are gonna hate anyway. They aren't buying that this isn't canon. I can buy into this thing not being canon; but that's because a lot of shows steal from this brand anyway. Death reference #1 and #2 ensues. By the way; Jim Cummings was the narrator for the crawl with the Phineas & Ferb creators cutting him off. So the additional voices tribute was just me doing it for no reason. Kind of like Phineas & Ferb actually. So the crawl wraps up like a window blind and we pan down to a shot of Earth (I'm guessing that it's Tatooine in storyline now) as a giant spaceship arrives awkwardly out of the hard camera; and it's clearly the heel ship because there is Doofensmirtz's Evil Incorporated building on top of it. It's called the Empire Administation Offices with two officers in white Stormtrooper gear in a corner officer drinking coffee, being on the computer and doing calculations. This would be the Mythbusters cameo; although one of the stormtroopers has darker skin. The Office Stormtroopers are voiced by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. Adam Savage according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Savage has worked as an animator, graphic designer, carpenter, projectionist, film developer, television presenter, set designer, toy designer, and gallery owner. He worked as a model maker on the films Galaxy Quest, Bicentennial Man, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, The Matrix Reloaded, and Space Cowboys, among others. Savage played the role of a helpful engineer in the 2001 film Ever Since the World Ended[14] and the role of an army surplus store owner who sells a man a rocket engine for his pickup truck in 2006 in The Darwin Awards, which also featured MythBusters co-star Jamie Hyneman.[15] He made a cameo appearance along with Jamie Hyneman on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on the May 1, 2008, episode "The Theory of Everything." In the "making of" material for The Matrix Revolutions, he appears in his role as a special effects artist and discusses some of the miniature effects used and the difficulties involved. He previously taught advanced model making in the department of Industrial Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.[1]
Savage has become a regular presenter at magician James Randi's annual skeptics' conference, The Amaz!ng Meeting, since first appearing in January 2006.[16] Savage credits his introduction to the skeptical community to Michael Shermer, who interviewed him for Skeptic Magazine.[17] He also appeared in the UK, giving a talk at the first Amazing Meeting London from October 3–4, 2009, hosted at the Mermaid Conference Centre, Blackfriars.[18] Savage was a featured performer at the three w00tstock v1.x shows in 2009, and appeared in four w00tstock v2.x shows in 2010. He also appeared as a guest on Diggnation's 220th show.[19] Savage has also been a regular guest speaker at the annual Maker Faire since 2008, speaking on different topics such as his obsession with the dodo bird and problem solving, and also taking questions from the audience members about the MythBusters and other things. Savage hosted an episode of the Discovery Channel series Curiosity, in which he speculated as to whether or not it is possible for humans to live forever. During the program various topics such as limb regeneration, organ printers, and even age reversal are discussed. In 2011, Savage appeared as "Dan" in a short film directed by Frank Ippolito titled Night of the Little Dead.[20] Savage and Hyneman are judges on the game show Unchained Reaction which premiered in March 2012.[21] Savage is an occasional guest host for lecture events at the San Francisco-based non-profit City Arts & Lectures,[22] and delivered the keynote address at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival on March 10, 2014.[23] On May 18, 2012, Savage was the commencement speaker at Sarah Lawrence College.[24][25] Savage is a co-host on the weekly podcast Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project. The project launched on June 5, 2012, and is in the format of a conversation between Savage, Will Smith, Norman Chan, and Simone Giertz about topics from science and movies to making and work ethic. Episodes typically last 30–45 minutes.[26] Savage is currently an editor and contributor at Tested.com.[27][28]
In 2017, Savage toured with Michael Stevens on the Brain Candy LIVE! tour.[29][30] Savage's role in the show Mythbusters, is to (with his co-hosts) disprove ("bust") or confirm myths through testing and experiments done at different scales. If the myth is about a one-time occurrence, or if a myth requires extremely specific circumstances to occur as stated, it is often deemed "plausible" instead. Savage's demeanour on MythBusters is animated and energetic, providing a foil to Jamie Hyneman's more reserved straight man persona.[31] Savage and Hyneman were the sole hosts of the show for the first season of MythBusters. Starting with the second season, members of Hyneman's staff were introduced and began to appear regularly in episodes; Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and welder Scottie Chapman appeared in the second season. In the third season, Chapman was replaced by Grant Imahara, a robot builder and model maker. In an interview Savage gave during The Amaz!ng Meeting 5, he expressed an interest in proving natural selection over creationism on MythBusters.
My goal this year [2007] is to prove natural selection on the show. It's gonna take a while, it's gonna be very hard to make it fascinating on film in the context of our narrative structure, but I figure screw it. The sky's the limit. Let's do natural selection. I'm sick of fifty percent of this country thinking creationism is reasonable. It's appalling. And I have the unique ability, maybe, to sell this idea to Discovery, and they'll, they might allow me to do it, and I'm gonna try as hard as I can.[32]
However, in 2008, Savage conceded that such an episode is unlikely because MythBusters has a policy against trying to disprove supernatural phenomena.[33] He began his career in 1978 on Sesame Street as Heathcliff. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. The Expanse as Mission Specialist, Live! with Kelly (Himself) and Mythbusters (Host - Himself) are his most recent credits. He has 3 Producer credits, 9 Acting credits, 12 Visual Effects credits, 4 Art Department credits, 2 Misc credits, 1 Sound Department credit, 2 Thanks credits, 30 Self credits, and 1 Archive Footage credit to his resume. Jamie Hayman according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Hyneman has worked as a certified dive master,[9] boat captain,[9] wilderness survival expert, linguist, pet store owner, animal wrangler, machinist, concrete inspector, and chef.[citation needed] Much of the experience Hyneman used on MythBusters came from his time in the visual and special effects professions. Hyneman first broke into the effects industry in the mid 80s as an uncredited special effects crew member on Top Gun. From there, Hyneman spent time as an animatronics technician for films such as Naked Lunch and Flubber, as well as work on the second and third installments of the Matrix Trilogy.[citation needed] Hyneman owns his own special effects company, M5 Industries, located in San Francisco. Some of his achievements in commercials include the can-spitting vending machine seen in 7 Up commercials, and his patented two-wheeled football shoe from Nike Lab commercials.[10] His most notable role was a part of Mythbusters. A distinctive part of his appearance is his dark beret, white long-sleeve button-up shirt over a black T-shirt, no-rim glasses, and occasionally, mirrored sunglasses with side anti-glare guards. This, along with his walrus-style mustache and deep voice, are constant subjects for jokes by co-host Adam Savage and other team members. A sign hanging in his workshop reading "Clean Up or Die", visible in several episodes, expresses his desire to keep the shop clean and tidy.[citation needed] Hyneman's demeanor on MythBusters is calm, logical and no-nonsense, in stark contrast to Savage's more animated, impulsive and energetic persona.[11]
Hyneman is often exasperated by Savage's antics and he sometimes argues with him about the best approach to take. The two often have very different ideas for performing experiments and building devices. Hyneman's ideas tend to be more simplified than his co-host's, and he has a philosophy of reducing a solution to its most basic form, wherever possible. This difference has led to numerous competitions between the two presenters when testing myths, such as testing the Goldfish Memory myth and Hoverboard myth. The two army-junk sellers in The Darwin Awards are portrayed by Savage and Hyneman. They appear during the story of the rocket-car, which they partially reproduced in the MythBusters series' pilot episode and have retested two more times.[12] He attended the annual skeptics' conference called The Amaz!ng Meeting in 2006.[13] On May 16, 2010, Hyneman delivered the commencement address and received an honorary Doctorate of Engineering, from Villanova University.[14] Hyneman has been dr.h.c. Jamie Hyneman since November 25, 2011, when he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Twente on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. He was awarded his honorary doctorate together with Adam Savage for their work in popularizing science.[15] Hyneman made a cameo appearance along with Savage on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on the May 1, 2008, episode "The Theory of Everything",[16] where they play inspectors each giving thumbs-up after seeing a shirt soaked in pepper spray catch fire when shot by a taser. They went on to test this myth on MythBusters and declare it confirmed with certain types of pepper spray. He and MythBusters co-host Savage appear as judges on the game show Unchained Reaction, which premiered in March 2012.[17] Hyneman and Savage have also voiced characters on The Simpsons episode "The Daughter Also Rises" as a parody of themselves, the "MythCrackers", which prompts Bart and Milhouse to experiment in a similar fashion.
Hyneman and Savage then reference this episode during the MythBusters Simpsons special. Both Hyneman and Savage also voiced stormtroopers like office workers in the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars special.[18] Until 2016 Hyneman was an editor and contributor at Tested.com alongside fellow Mythbuster Adam Savage, and technology reviewer Norman Chan.[citation needed] He began his career on The Ketchup & Mustard Man; doing art sets in 1994. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. Mythbusters is his most recent credit. He has 3 Producer credits, 11 Special Effects credits, 4 Acting credits, 1 Misc credit, 1 Art Department credit, 16 Self credits and 1 Archive Footage credit to his resume. In the foreground; we see Perry; whose title is called the Rebelpus practicing the fine art of not being seen and destroying the security clearance while dodiging a stormtrooper officer getting coffee from a floating coffee pot. So up comes a DVD disc called "Death Star Plans" (death reference #3) as the alarms start blazing. In comes four fully white armored Stormtroopers with black laser death ray guns as Perry (He looks like an airline worker by the way) as he makes the leap of faith through the hole of a closing door and his cover is blown. Chase scene ensues as the troopers go into a corner office as someone is on the computer with a screen saver of a sexually suggesitve woman with blue skin in an outfit with the most skin shown allowed by BS&P; and that is a lot even by DTVA standards. Perry is on the top edges of the barricade as we get another running sequence and one vase of flowers gets destroyed of course. It was red laser fire; so it doesn't violate the anti-gun rule DTVA imposed after Sandy Hook. Perry goes through the air ducts (I wondered how much Kit Cloudkicker stole from Star Wars; and I'm getting my answer even in this parody of Star Wars) and makes it to his Perry-Mobile; only it's space-worthy. Perry escapes with the plans as the Imperial Captain and his crew in the control room notices this and goes after the ship, doing a turn around sequence which causes the office of the stormtrooper officers to slide out of control. HAHA! Perry simply goes into hyperspace and disappears from the heels; and appears above a white spaceship with red trim as Perry-Mobile enters from below.
Jump cut to a shot of the door as it slides open to reveal Princess Leia as Perry climbs out of his ship which is more orange than Donald Trump's skin. Death reference #4 ensues as Leia exchanges notes with Perry on those plans. It's amazing how Star Wars characters connect with the audience: I have almost never seen Star Wars and yet I was able to notice Princess Leia in less than three seconds without any prompting. Then we get firing and hitting as Captain Raymus Antilles (voiced by John Mathnot who I have already tributed) enters to inform the obvious to us. So there is a non-Doofen building spaceship called the Imperial Star Destroyer as it's firing neon green lasers at the rebel ship; because rebels are horrible demon who must be crushed. How very Trumpish, indeed. So the firing continues as we pan down to Tatoonie with a pack of banthas (Half Buffalo half goat if this was The Wuzzles) walking in the dessert with a blue hovercar being driven by Ferb-Wan Kenobi (check the clothes on him) and Phineas Triangleheader (in Luke Skywalker gear; which is odd because Luke Skywalker is in this show.). TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM ensues since we need to pad the running time somehow. We literally do some windjammer surfing in the dessert and whip those dewbacks into shape. That was pretty cruel. We even see them building hamster traps for womp rats. So yes; even though this is Star Wars, there is no difference between this Phineas and the Phineas on Earth. So it feels tacked on. Oh; and P&F Star Wars wouldn't be complete without a giant sand castle making machine. So basically; they are setting up Tatoonie in song as Tatoonie has two suns all year long. More flying and stuff and then the beautiful song turns into a really dumb vanilla rap song as there is a musicial group of aliens in suits called the Modal Nodes, so there's one band name Disney has the dibs on. Ferb plays harp, we race more, we annoy raiders with giant horns and other such adventures on Tatoonie. This song is really good; outside of the rapping bit that was out of nowhere and went about the same place. So after this song, Phineas & Ferb drive away from the capital and head to the vaporator construct we saw in the song. As Luke Skywalker (wearing a brown robe and a hat with goggles on) is taking some object from it; and notices the honking of the car of Ferb's.
Luke Skywalker is voiced by Christopher Corey Smith and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): An American actor who voices in various English-language dubs of Japanese anime shows, and in cartoons and video games. Some of his major roles include Spandam in One Piece, John Balks in Future Diary, Raizer Phoenix in High School DxD, and Soyuz in Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos. In cartoons and video games, his major roles include the Joker in Lego Batman 2 and Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite, Molag Bal in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Hank Johnson in Ingress, Rufus in Street Fighter, Hotshot in Defiance and The Emperor in Dissidia Final Fantasy. [1] He began his career as a set dresser in Jake Speed in 1986 and ended that in 1990 with Darkman. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. State of Decay 2 as Ray Santos and Eirk Tan is his most recent credit. He has 203 Acting credits, 8 Art Department credits, 2 Misc credits, 1 Producer credit, 1 Stunts credit and six Self credits to his resume. Basically; a big video game and anime voice. We meet and greet as Ferb demonstrates the largest pod racing engines ever in another sequence. Luke is surprised and I'm sorry; but David Tower's commentary on Star Wars and The Force has sort of ruined it for me. Phineas explains it all as we discover that the mositure station is Luke's, so there was no stealing here at all. Phineas offers to trick it out and considering Phineas' track record, I would trust him. Luke no sells nicely because Uncle Owen is a fuddy-duddy and wants to do things the old fashion way. Treadwell looks like ROB from Nintendo; only with a much longer neck and all blue with terrible claw arms that scream "Way too used". Phineas and Ferb speed out like a rocket as Luke uses his binoculars because he notices a Star Destroyer overhead. Jump cut to Leia's ship being overtaken by the Star Destroyer as we jump cut to dozens of white armored stormtroopers running in; including Candace, Buford and Baljeet. I know this because of their heights. They want to do some rebel busting; which in this case, doesn't apply to Phineas & Ferb...yet. Sadly; a blond haired guy in an all grey uniform cuts them off; and orders them to cease their dreams and fetch Lord Vader's socks. Darth Vader, not Leon White. Okay?
Candace at first says "okay"; and the second the commanding officer turns his back, Candace is pissed off and complaining about this before storming off. CO doesn't even suspect a thing. Idiot. Buford and Baljeet walk off with her. Candace's Commanding Officer (and later, C-3P0) is voiced by Simon Pegg and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Pegg's early appearances in TV series and films include Asylum, Six Pairs of Pants, Faith in the Future, Big Train and Hippies. Between 1998 and 2004, Pegg was regularly featured on BBC Radio 4's The 99p Challenge. Pegg's other credits include appearances in the World War II mini-series Band of Brothers; the television comedies Black Books, Brass Eye and I'm Alan Partridge; and the films The Parole Officer, 24 Hour Party People, and Guest House Paradiso. He played various roles during the tour of Steve Coogan's 1998 live stage show The Man Who Thinks He's It.[7] In 1999, he created and co-wrote the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced with Jessica Stevenson. The series was directed by Edgar Wright, with whom Pegg and Stevenson had previously worked on Asylum, and Pegg wrote the character of Mike Watt specifically for his friend Nick Frost.[7] For his performance in this series, Pegg was nominated for a British Comedy Award as Best Male Comedy Newcomer.[10] The experience of making a Spaced fantasy sequence featuring zombies led to Pegg and Wright co-writing the "romantic zombie comedy" film Shaun of the Dead, released in April 2004, in which Pegg also starred.[7] At George A. Romero's invitation, Pegg and Wright made cameo appearances in Romero's zombie film, Land of the Dead.[7] In 2004, Pegg starred in a spin-off of the television show Danger! 50,000 Volts! called Danger! 50,000 Zombies!, in which he played a zombie hunter named Dr. Fell. He played mutant bounty hunter Johnny Alpha, the Strontium Dog, in a series of Big Finish Productions audio plays based on the character from British comic 2000 AD. Pegg also appeared in Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who audio story Invaders From Mars as Don Chaney, and appeared in the Doctor Who television series, playing the Editor in the 2005 episode "The Long Game".[11]
He also narrated the first series of the "making-of" documentary series Doctor Who Confidential.[12] Upon completion of Shaun of the Dead, Pegg was questioned as to whether he would be abandoning the British film industry for Hollywood, and he replied, "It's not like we're going to go away and do, I don't know, Mission: Impossible III", picking the title of an imaginary blockbuster. When the film Mission: Impossible III was subsequently made, Pegg appeared in it as Benji Dunn, an IMF technician who assists Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt.[2] He reprised the role of Benji Dunn in the 2011 film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol[13] and the 2015 film Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. In 2006, he played Gus in Big Nothing alongside David Schwimmer.[14] The same year, Pegg and Wright completed their second film, Hot Fuzz, released in February 2007. The film is a police-action movie homage and also stars Nick Frost, in which Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, a London policeman transferred to rural Sandford, a fictional village where grisly events take place.[15] In 2007, Pegg starred in The Good Night (directed by Jake Paltrow) and Run Fatboy Run directed by David Schwimmer and co-starring Thandie Newton and Hank Azaria. In 2008, he wrote the dialogue for an English language re-release of the cult 2006 animated Norwegian film, Free Jimmy. Pegg received screenwriting credit for this, and Pegg also voiced one of the main characters in the English-language version, which has an international range of actors including Woody Harrelson. Pegg co-wrote the script for a film called Paul, about two young men who encounter a comedic extraterrestrial alien during a road trip across the US.[16][17] The completed script appeared on the 2008 "Brit List", a film-industry-compiled survey of the best unproduced British screenplays, inspired by the American Black List.[18]
In those films and in Spaced, Pegg typically plays the leading hero while Frost plays the sidekick. However Paul reverses this dynamic.[19] The film was later produced, and was released in 2011. Pegg played engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in Star Trek, the eleventh film in the Star Trek film series,[20] released 8 May 2009. He reprised the role in the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond (2016), also co-writing the latter.[21][22] In 2010 he appeared as William Burke in Burke and Hare, a film directed by John Landis about two Ulstermen who were notorious murderers and bodysnatchers in early 19th-century Edinburgh. His likeness was also used for the character of Wee Hughie in the comic book series The Boys; while this was done without Pegg's permission, he quickly became a fan of the title, and even wrote the introduction to the first bound volume.[23] He voiced Reepicheep, the heroic mouse in Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.[24] Pegg and Wright completed the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (the first two films being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) with their 2013 film The World's End.[25] He began his career as various characters in Six Pairs of Pants in 1995. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and he also appeared on Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja as Pitch Kickham. Slaughterhouse Rulez (Meredith Houseman), M:I 6 - Mission Impossible (Benji Dunn), and Ready Player One as Ogden Morrow are his most recent credits. He has 89 Acting credits, 23 Writing Credits, 9 Producer credits, 3 Soundtrack credits, 6 Thanks credits, 1 Music Department credit, 1 Director credit, 171 Self credits and 15 Archive Footage credits to his resume. So we jump cut to inside a dark red hue area of the spaceship as Leia puts the disc into R2-D2 (I have watched Droids before at least) and tells Agent P-R to make sure R2-D2 gets to Tatoonie to send the plans to Obi-Wan Kaboni and Leia wants to record a message to boot. Oh and Agent P-R has to move behind a wall since he's in the shot. So the three wannabe Rebel Busters walk around talking about Vadar's socks and they find Leia and R2-D2 in the dark red hued hallway. Ooops!
Candace is already running off to find the CO while Buford bullies Baljeet...AGAIN! Only they are both heels; so we have no sympathy for Baljeet even though we should and hate Buford; although he's a heel, so we can boo Buford without punching down. So Candace finds the CO in a panic and the CO don't care because the rebels don't have any socks. HAHA! Candace storms off stage left, fuming as we head back with the bully and the token minority as Buford shoots and hits C3-P0, who is escaping with Agent P-R and R2-D2. Making Candace look like the least stupid character in this entire thing and she's the heel. So the robots enter the pod and the pod shoots out, leaving Agent P-R behind. The officers on gun duty don't even bother to shoot the guns (even though it's a laser show and thus well within BS&P) because there is no life forms inside and the thing has short circuited. What?! So this leads to them stooping to the Fairly Oddparents level of jackhammering the point home on some coffee blend called Sith Roast. Pfft; whatever. Agent P-R hides behind a wall as the three Rebel Busters run in as Candace wants to take the escape pod after them. Baljeet does the Imperial March song; just to jackhammer the point home that Vadar needs his black socks. That was funnier at least. So they get into the pod and Agent P-R does a great job in hiding into said pod as Baljeet acts like a science guy as the pod ejects and drifts into space. Geez; that Sith Roast Decaf thing is so strong that it makes officers turn their backs on the action. And yes; Sith Roast Decaf is jackhammered. So we head to the Death Star complete with Doofensmirtz's Evil Incorporated jingle. Speaking of Doofen's building, here's Doofen looking from his building tower dressed like Darth Vadar and Norm-3P0 looking like C-30's long lost father. Doofen claims that he build the Death Star and it shoots green lasers and the model was a laser nutcracker; but since there is no "copyright" in the empire; they stole Doofen's idea and make it impractical. Ummm; you may want to keep your words soft and sweet, Doofen; lest you want to eat them. Norm sums this up nicely; but Doofen swears revenge and he needs "THE FORCE~!" (The most overrated thing in Star Wars, next to "The Circle Of Life" and the "Pridelands".); which Norm sums up nicely before Doofen cuts him off and walks out. HAHA! Even Doofen thinks the force is overrated.
Jump cut to the dessert of Tatoonie as the pod has crash landed and out is C3-P0 and R2-D2 as C-3P0 blows off adventure and walks stage right; while R2-D2 goes left. Was there a scene that was cut out before this? Pan over west to the other crashed pod with Candace, Buford and Baljeet coming out. Candace follows left with the busters as Agent P-R runs and checks the footprints on the surface, then choosing to follow R2-D2; which makes sense since the robot has the plans and Leia's message; so who cares about C-3P0 anyway? Scene changer of doom ensues and we get the Rebel Busters near some skeleton remains as Baljeet is claiming that he joined unintentionally because he wanted to sign up for physics camp as Buford claims that he was better off with the empire. HA! So Buford asks Candace of her motives for joining the empire as Candace claims that she joined because REBELS ARE THE SPAWNS OF SATAN~! I realize Disney would never allow that; but that is basically what Candace said without the BS&P filter on. Pretty much had me on the sub-human part. Candace then sings the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM; which is so hypocritical of her since she went against the orders and laws of the empire when going after the busters and dissented against her own CO. Just want to point that out. And like the P&F song; it's (1) All about the Empire (2) lots of marching (3) Candace rapping about how sock detail sucks and thus being hypocritical about it in the process (4) demonizing Gladys; who is at least not a joke like Candace..Oh wait; Gladys cannot use a gun to save her life. Sorry about that Candace (5) lasts two minutes or so. Buford asks if she have let it all out. Candace says yes, we finish the song. The irony of conformity is that we all conform to something; even if it's not the normal conforming. Non-conformity doesn't exist unless you are dead and are thus unable to conform to anything. I'm also confused as the song shows scenes that appear to be on planet Earth for some reason. Apparently; the Empire's flag is like the Nazi flag; only using a gear wheel. So we get a thrilling moment of the CO and stormtroopers scoping the area as he blows off Candace again and tells her to find the socks. Candace sulks but walks off stage right to Mos Eisly to find Vadar's socks and that is that. One of the stormtroopers has a wooden branch and calls it a magic flute and the CO blows it off as a stick. CO is flustered, I yawn and move on.
So we head back to Phineas & Ferb stopping at their residence which contains a circular saucer like building with holes in it and a Star Wars motif-equse building. We head inside the kitchen with Lawerence and Linda as supper is almost ready. Linda grabs a paper that the babyfaces wrote on all the thing they plan to do today and calls it ambitious. Phineas & Ferb eat for a while as they mention Luke as Lawerence claims that Luke stares a lot into the horizon and rather be somewhere else. Linda feels offended by this as Lawerence claims that Phineas & Ferb have gone far beyond the call of duty with the fields that they can spend the rest of summer at swim camp in Naboo. Phineas nicely no sells this deal; because they know what to do for the rest of the summer: Make Candace look bad. Oh wait; that's the real Phineas & Ferb. Sorry about that. Phineas no sells the ski trip because Tatoonie is perfect and who would want to leave. Lawerence claims that there are no girls on the planet and Linda blows him off for that sexist comment. Then we head outside AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as a giant brown bulldozer like tank is running as we hear jawas speaking in their native tongue (who look like Black Mages from Final Fantasy 1; only with pocket belts on their shoulders and hoods. Closeup shot of them shows them sucking up R2-D2 in a giant vacuum. Now this special really sucks. HAHA!
Ron Sparks: It sucks more than Shuan Desmond.
As this is going on; Agent P-R is watching from behind the rocks. As the tank slowly moves and all the Jawas get in, Agent P-R hitches a ride and grabs onto the back noticing a bumper sticker that reads "My Jawa Kid Is An Honor Student At Tatoonie High". So the tank reaches Tatoonie's cliffs as we see the tank, Jawas, C-3P0, R2-D2 and a number of robots as Luke and Uncle Owen have a not so pleasant exchange about duties and chores. Uncle Owen is voiced by Nick Jameson and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): He has appeared in the television series Mission Hill, The Critic, 24, Lost, The King of Queens and, vocally, in Star Wars: Clone Wars as Palpatine, Darts D'Nar in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the radio adaption of Dark Empire, and several other productions of Star Wars. He has over 114 film credits. He has also voiced in Spider-Man: The Animated Series as Richard Fisk and Morbius, and provided the voice of Max in the video game Sam & Max Hit the Road. He also voiced Lloyd in Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. In 2006, his voice was featured in the video game Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops as Colonel Skowronski. He voiced Jim Dear in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. He also voiced as Aldar Beedo in the video game Star Wars: Episode I Racer. In 2012, he voiced the character Toxic Reapa from the miniseries Hero Factory. He voices Marshall Dune in the point-and-click adventure Broken Age.[2] Nick has also had a relatively lengthy career in music. Early on, he was a member of The American Dream, a Philadelphia band whose debut album was Todd Rundgren's first production credit. More prominent success soon followed when he briefly became the unofficial fourth member of the British blues-rock band Foghat, producing several of their albums as well, including Fool for the City, which spawned the band's biggest hit "Slow Ride." Nick's bass-playing is prominently featured on this track as well as the rest of the album. He has also released a couple of solo albums: Already Free and A Crowd of One ,[3] the latter of which featured the single "Weatherman," which cracked the Billboard Hot 100.[4] The track has a breezy pop-rock feel that was fairly typical of the mid-'80s.
It is somewhat similar in terms of both melody and tempo to Mr. Mister's big hit, "Kyrie," albeit with much lighter percussion. A year later, Jack Wagner recorded a cover version of the tune (under the title "Weatherman Says"). Another track from the A Crowd of One album, "Love's Closing In" was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1986 film, A Fine Mess. Although an American native, Jameson has become very well known for his ability to perform in a variety of deceptively authentic accents, particularly British English[5] and Australian.[6] He began his career in 1991 with The Golden Girls (The Minstrel) and The Antagonist as Arza Schwartz. Aladdin The Series is his DTVA debut as a man. Joe Dick as Mr. Carrington is his most recent credit. He has 230 Acting credits, 5 Soundtrack credits, 4 Misc credits, 3 Composer credits, and 1 credit of Director, Writer, Cinematographer, Editor, Location Manager, Producer, Thanks and Archive footage each to his resume. Uncle Owen wants Luke to do his chores and Luke whines about wanting to go to Tosche Station and Owen tells him to finish the chores first, then get the power converters for Phineas and Ferb. Luke relucently agrees to it as somehow C3-P0 has joined them for no reason. One of the robots Luke has breaks down and has a broken motivator as Owen blows off the Jawas for screwing him. C-P30 of course blows off R2-D2 because he hates everyone, which I believe was his entire gimmick for Star Wars actually. Agent P-R practices the fine art of not being seen as he follows Luke and the robots. Scene change to Doofen's tower ship entering into the Death Star and in a major shock; the Death Star doesn't shoot him to death. Doofen Vader is blowing off Norm for being an idiot as usual and then we get the moving conveyer sidewalk of doom, leading to Doofen seeing Darth Vadar whose's gimmick is to have this massive breathing problem. It's kind of creepy; although not as creepy as Jagi's chain smoking breathing in Fist Of The North Star. Oh; and Doofen completely marks out for him and bumps into dozens of robots in the process just to get his autograph. Aww! My heart melted. This is hilarious as it ends with the white armored stormtrooper literally standing there and blocking Doofen away for good. Darth don't care and doesn't say a word. It's things like this that should have made this canonal.
So it's AFTER HAPPY HOUR again as Agent P-R has made it to a hut where C-3P0 and R2-D2 are inside. C-3P0 is acting like a selfish prick as he wants to do an oil bath and yells at R2-D2 to quit complaining about his freedom. So Agent P-R tosses a coin at R2-D2 and R2-D2 turns around and sees Agent P-R motioning to him. R2-D2 wheels out of the hut and both them notice Luke Skywalker looking at the horizon. P-R bails with R2-D2 as we jump cut to Phineas & Ferb riding their tricked out racing pod as they have cleaning stuff in the back seat as we never got to see them cleaning the banthas, since they mention it. So they ultimately bump into Agent P-R and R2-D2 and knock them over the side as the robot lands in the backseat of Ferb's pod racer (and the Death Star disc pops out and lands in the back as well); which has a Star Wars motif version of a hulu girl on the front. Phineas apologizes for the hit and run and R2-D2 shines a becon of light beside the hulu girl, showing Princess Leia delivering her message that she needs Obi-Wan Kaboni; which Phineas deduces it's Ben Kaboni, who gives Jedi lessons every Tuesday. They offer R2-D2 a ride, R2-D2 shakes his head no and walks away from them. Phineas gives advice on sand people having less than three people per group for the best results. So the racing pod flies away; and this causes Agent P-R to be flung over the cliff and destroy a small birthday in the process. We discover that the group is called the Tusken Raider (who also have their own language) as the one sitting on a rock is pissed off and Agent P-R is screwed. So we jump cut back to Phineas & Ferb riding as the disc is in the back seat on a zoom in shot to end the segment sixteen minutes in; which in fact was the first two acts of this special. This has been fun so far.
After the commercial break; it's morning in Tatoonie as Agent P-R is cooking with oven mitts. He basically bakes a birthday cake, puts candles on it and gives it to the Tusken Raider and he's so happy. HAHA! Agent P-R stands back as the Tusken Raiders are happier than me on a rainy day as Perry (And I'm done with the PR jokes) notices a halogram of Major Monogram So Monogram informs him that R2-D2 has made it to Obi-Wan Kaboni safelty as Perry has that smile of "Are you sure?" HAHA! Anyhow; Monogram tells him to rest and signs off. Perry wipes his head with a cloth...and Monogram has his next mission because Doofensmirtz is on the Death Star and he's planning something evil. Some things never change; even if dressed in Star Wars clothing. Perry is not exactly thrilled as we scene change to outside Phineas' house as Phineas and Ferb walk out; Linda tells them to put on their two suns sunscreen. HAHA! Phineas then notices the disc named "Death Star plans" and wonders if this was with the R2 unit. Ferb has binoculars, which apparently is his answer to "The Force" and then scares Phineas with a Tusken Raider puppet. Of course! Scene change to Mos Eisley Spaceport; now with 14% more scum and villainry. Still less than the real word, Lucas. The guise of this is Luke, C-3P0 and R2-D2 are heading there with their red pod car. So Phineas & Ferb in their tricked white pod follows them and lands in the middle of the town's square. Phineas and Ferb jump off with the disc as we look around. There is a praying mantis in the background with a skirt on, don't know why. There is a paper poster with phone number tabs that I see a lot on BBS's throughout buildings in Canada and on power poles as well. They have wanted mug shots of Hans Solo and Chewbacca. One guess what Chewbacca looks like? Then in comes what is the prototype for VAVA/Vile from Mega Man X: Bobba Fett himself, who is a bounty hunter. He has a pink basket of stuff as he puts the wanted poster inside his basket and runs off. So we're in the market and Phineas and Ferb meet Blatto (voiced by the same guy who voices Luke Skywalker in this special); who looks like another Wuzzle-beast (half anteater, half bat) and they exchange notes for a while on the disc. Blatto puts the disc into a pressure cooker device that shows off halograms of the Death Star; which is supposed to be the size of the moon.
So Phineas notices that the Death Star can blow up whole planets and cannot believe that the empire would go that far. Ferb also notices that it can be destroyed with a tropeado inside the small exhaust. Because it has to turn into a video game, am I right? Blatto asks who's the idiot would design that. This is a segueway to Doofen drinking water from a water fountain. HAHA! Of course; Doofen cannot do this right either. Sad! Back to Phineas as he basically spoils Star Wars's finish right before my eyes; as Blatto has the Gruffi pose on and admits that it's a spoiler. Maybe in 1979; this was a spoiler. It's not anymore since productions, especially a lot of video games, do this exact same finish with the weak points. Phineas deduces that R2-D2 is part of the rebel alliance and they have to get this disc to Luke Skywalker and Uncle Owen right F'N now. Jump cut to Candace coming out of the Darth & Handsome ship (the shop is shaped like Darth's helmet I should note) with the bag of socks as Baljeet and Buford walk up towards her. Buford got his food and Baljeet notices Phineas and Ferb right away. Candace proclaims that they are so busted and runs after them. Phineas & Ferb take the disc and bail into the crowd; causing the troopers to stop and give up. Well; Buford at least. Candace puts helmet on and gives chase as Phineas & Ferb notice Luke; but are distracted by Buford's really bad shooting as he sets off a dinosaur like horse and the troopers bail stage left. Someone screams "my watermelon" for no reason at all; I'm guessing he was crushed in the nuts and has one giant watermelon sized nut. I don't know and I don't care. Phineas & Ferb run and notices the droid on the space ship as Stormtroopers shoot at the ship; with Hans Solo firing back and yelling at Chewbacca (A very hairy guy who looks like Cousin It; only taller and much more macho) to get them the hell out of there. Fire fight ensues as Hans Solo is voiced by Ross Marquand and according to Wikipedia (DANGER! DANGER!): Marquand was born in Fort Collins, Colorado. His initial foray into acting began at the age of nine when he played a small part in a church pageant. Soon thereafter, he joined the Boy Scouts of America (where he attained the rank of Eagle Scout) and began impersonating celebrities at campfire ceremonies.
While in attendance at the University of Colorado at Boulder he starred in several productions including To Kill a Mockingbird, The Passion of Dracula, and The Cherry Orchard. He graduated with a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in Theatre Performance. After college he moved to Los Angeles and quickly garnered attention in several film and television projects. Marquand portrayed screen legend Paul Newman on AMC's Mad Men.[1] Marquand is best known for the recurring role of Aaron on The Walking Dead,[2][3] the popular TV series' first gay male character.[4][5] An accomplished voiceover actor, Ross has lent his talents to productions such as Phineas and Ferb,[6] Conan, and video games like Battlefield Hardline. He is also known for impersonating a plethora of celebrities including Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, Matthew McConaughey and over 50 others.[7][8] This expertise led to a starring and producing role on Pop TV's Impress Me, helmed by Ben Shelton and Rainn Wilson.[6] He began his career on Love Sick and LA Forensics as FBI Agent in 2006. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. The Walking Dead as Aaron is his most recent credit. He has 42 Acting credits, 4 Producer credits, 6 Misc credits, 1 Director credit, 1 Writer credit, 1 Thanks credit and 9 Self credits to his resume. And yes; this is the final tribute for this special, believe it or not, nineteen minutes in. Phineas & Ferb bail out as the space ship flies into the air as troopers continue to shoot at it. So the kids are cowards, what a shock? The kids hide as stormtroopers blow this off because the paperwork is going to be hell now. Phineas proclaims that they have to get the disc to Luke; but they need a pilot and a ship. Ferb points at a cantina and we head there as a green alien MC on stage thanks the grey skinned alien music team we saw in the Tatoonie as he claims that there was only one death and dismemberment on this show. Glasses are thrown and there is a lot of interesting characters with no histories complaining a lot. Phineas & Ferb see the bartender cleaning glasses and ask about a pilot; and the bartender points in a general direction as we see some alien being carried out on a stretcher by two other aliens being confused on who shot who. Phineas thinks it was the pilot; but it's really the booth where Isabella and her SWANK outfit that would make Han Solo BE JEALOUS~! POW! OUCH! Ummm...
So we open the curtain on stage and a female Twi'Lek takes the stage singing on a tusked like microphone about feeling so low and miserable. I then realize; that is Vanessa Doofensmirtz in Star Wars form. Why? Why not?! One of the wookies acts like a sexist twit with his version of the wolf whistle. More signing and her friend on the piano looks like an alien elephant. This song just goes to show you that there is not much difference between male aliens and male human beings when it comes to being toxic. So Phineas & Ferb sit down and Isabella is already wanting to open her hoister and shoot them. Isabella agrees to be their pilot for a price and Phineas shows them the disc. I should point out that even in Star Wars; the Phineas & Ferb BS&P is still in effect as shown in the juice boxes. Isabella then notices the ship from the docking bay as Hans Solo's ship; which was an excuse for Vanessa to sing jackhammer the point home. Isabella does not like Han Solo at all because her ship the Centennial Chihuahua was on pace to finish the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs; but Han Solo decided to CHEAT TO WIN~! Vanessea is still singing the blues; and I'm singing the blues because there is no scene showing that moment. Isabella is so pissed off that she hears Vanessa and then takes out her gun and shoots Vanessa off-screen. Ummm; OW! That is one of the saddest moments in Vanessa's career on this show. Oh wait; the microphone got shot as Isabella and the kids leave. So we scene change to a Star Wars hanger as Phineas, Ferb and Isabella are in the hanger talking about the Centennial Chihuahua; which is shaped like the dog's head. Isabella admits that she wanted attention; and HERE'S CANDACE and her piece~! Glass red alarm gets shot out as the kids enter the spaceship. Candace orders Baljeet and Buford to fire the cannon; and of course Buford and Baljeet screw that up royalfully. And Candace wonders why she is on sock duty? So here's the following sequence: Isabella flies the ship out of the hanger; Candace takes over the cannon and fires a shot; shot hits columns; Isabella pilots the ship and scrapes the left side of the column and I believe was hit by the cannon fire, which the cannon explodes into pieces; Candace and company run out of the hanger and the males all take bumps into the water stall with Candace watching in the middle. You got all that? Candace groans in despair and anger as the CC flies into space, yee-haw.
Phineas and Ferb are total idiots for confusing their planet with a dirty smudge; which Isabella thankfully cleans off the window. First time in space; of course. No shock there. Phineas & Ferb claims that this is what their parents wanted; although probably not in this fashion. Also true. Isabella yells at them to buckle up because they are going into hyperspace as Phineas & Ferb smack into the window like a freaking bug on my windshield (God bless Kenny Blankenship). So we head back to Tatoonie near a space ship as Candace, Buford and Baljeet walk up to the CO standing on the steps. CO asks for the bag of socks; Buford gives the socks to Candace and then to the CO. CO is pleased and tired as he tells them to return to the Death Star for reassignment as Candace is so happy...and then CO cuts them off because the ship is full; and they must go on the bus pod. His tone of voice means that he's punishing them for continuing to annoy him; becuase the bus pod looks like a death trap. Irony. So we jump cut to the Death Star and head to a Jetsons-equse office with Doofen on the computer at a desk with Norm looking on. Doofen proclaims that the Force can be extracted from Vadar's garbage. HAHA! Yeah; apparently, Star Wars has the Internet now. Whew; that's a relief; that would be a deal breaker otherwise. Except in TaleSpin's world; then I gladly give that up. Doofen talks about time shares being worth 10 times more than he paid six years ago. Empire Inflation; it always goes up. Just like Trump's ego actually. Suddenly; a planet explodes into a sun due to something and Doofen's property value goes down a lot. Apparently; Doofens' time share apartment was on that planet. Jump cut to CC Hyperspace Sequence~! Isabella hears rattling and goes into the back; and notices Phineas & Ferb raiding boxes for spare parts (T-27 thermal couplings). Isabella "What's you doing?" is much different when she's pissed off. Isabella orders them to sod off and stay away from the ship. And then she writes in her note pad; exactly what Phineas suggests. How Drake Mallardish of you. Phineas and Ferb sit down at a table and ponder over what is happening with their friends and with their parents in Tatoonie. Phineas calls it strange as Isabella is boxing with a punching bag. Phineas and Ferb want to be friends; but Isabella blue balls him; which Phineas no sells anyway. So we come out of hyperspace and make it to the Millennium Falcon as it is heading straight for the Death Star; which Isabella confuses for a moon. Phineas admits that it's no moon and Isabella protests this outrage because a tractor beam is pulling them towards said Death Star.
Interesting Moment #1: I should note that I'm ranting on the DVD version. When the Netflix version aired, this is what happened:
(Open on the starry sky as the Star Wars title screen
reappears.)
Jim Cummings: Episode IVa: MAY
THE FERB BE WITH YOU - Part 2. A voiceover guy, hungry for attention,
breaks into a studio...
Dan Povenmire: Hey, he's, he's uh,
back...
Jeff "Swampy" Marsh: HEY! HEY! HEY! GET
OUTTA HERE!...
Jim Cummings: What? What?
Jeff
"Swampy" Marsh: I'M NOT TELLING YOU AGAIN MAN!
Jim
Cummings: Oh Man...
Dan Povenmire: What is up with that
guy?
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THAT?! Anhow; we return as Isabella wants to shoot her way out; but Phineas & Ferb bring out the LIGHT TOOLS OF DOOM because there are alternatives to fighting. I assume that they destroyed the turrents; but this is very heelish of those two to do that. So basically; Phineas & Ferb changed the shields into a cloaking device which turns the CC into a donut bus. Yip; this is proof that this is a parody now as Isabella yells at them that if this doesn't work they are floating home and Phineas takes it as a documentary instead of a figure of speech; which in turn Isabella blows him off. Isabella then contacts the officers claiming that they caught them in a tractor beam and asks them if they want donuts or not. So the officer apologizes and disables the tractor beam; which the gauge is literally a tractor. He tells them that the docks are in launching bay 427 as officer #2 makes jokes about Vadar's hat and then fakes being choked out by Vadar to scare the number one officer. Pfft; whatever. Jump cut to the bus pod and inside as Candace is whining and complaining with the Gruffi pose on full blast. However; we get stupid moment as we discover that Buford gave Darth Vadar a sub instead of black socks..and the commanding officer is killed by choking by Darth Vadar, who speaks for the first time in the episode (Eddie Pittman). I shake my head and we continue on as the stormtrooper head to the CC Donut Bus of doom as they complain about it not being open yet. We see Isabella in the foreground with her gun set to profits as Phineas wants to give them some donuts now; Isabella blows that off. So we head to the huge CGI directory as Han's ship is in Bay #327 and the route is a little awkward; but not bad. Ferb uses THE HAND to feel something is amiss. And then we turn around and it's Perry looking at the same directory. Phineas and Perry embrace and Phineas is completely over the fact that Perry is a secret agent for the rebellion. Of course! Good to see that Phineas has mellow out since the 2nd Dimension movie on this as we exchange notes on the situation. Fist bumping ensues and Phineas introduces Isabella as she clicks her tongue in the signal for "Bang!" Oookkkkkaaayyy. Perry and the kids shake hands and Perry leaves stage right. Phineas claims that Perry looks good as Isabella has her gun out and she groans. She bails stage left as we head to Doofen's Hiding Spot of Doom as Doofen and Norm are creating their next -inator. Norm proclaims that one man's trash is another man's bad idea. Also true and funny. The door partially open and here comes Perry; only to step on the red X and gets WARNERED with steam BABEE! Doofen loves it and would love it more if the door repairman would show up quicker. That ends Act III 28 minutes in. Wow; this is a really fast paced special so far.
After the commercial break; head into the hallway as a mass amount of stormtroopers are marching in the hallways. Phineas and Isabella practice the fine art of not being seen; but Ferb is using THE FORCE~! Perry's in trouble and Ferb wants to split up so Phineas gets the disc to Luke and Ferb finds Perry. Isabella don't care as long as the mission is done. Was Han Solo this afraid to trust? Isabella really is giving off early Kit vibes. So they split up and we get clips of Ferb running in the hallway as on a top hallway; we see the real Obi-Wan Kaboni; causing both to stop and wonder as hammering is heard in the background. They ignore each other and go in opposite directions. Jump cut to Norm hammering nails with the most metallic sounding wooden hammer in history. He's putting up a cyro-tomb of Perry on the wall as Doofen frames the shot. Because it's time for the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM again, featuring his latest invention: The Sith-inator. As Sithful as it sounds. See what I did there? POW! OUCH! Ummm... The guise of this is that no one respects Doofen Vader (duh); so he created the Sith-inator as a device to make him become the CEO of the Death Star. He also chokes a half dozen board members of the empire to death of course since the Sith-inator uses THE FORCE~ in Vader's garbage. And yes; Doofen has realized that his time share apartment on Aaldran did indeed blow up. He also has an Emperor puppet on his person, just in cause. There are ablazing fireworks, which is a side effect of THE FORCE, I guess. Stormtrooper Rockettes sequence ensues as Norm is on xlylaphone (?sp); just for fun and profit. Apparently; the planet of Naboo and Tatoonie hate him; which I don't understand since Doofen is much more entertaining than Darth Vadar and the emperor combined. Hamster on a wheel equals an evil moving part by the way. Basically; he is related to Darth, so he's his son. Damn it; that's a sad thing for Darth methinks. Lots of light sabers and pictures of Doofen ensue; as this song also takes up at least two minutes. Doofen slides on his knees in full red light and proclaims that Darth Vadar can kiss his bantha. Oh; so Bantha is a nice word for jackass then. Okay; good to know. Norm claps like an idiot claiming it was better than rehearsal. I betcha Doofen will say: It was a rehearsal and Norm will still cheer anyway. The woman stormtroopers with green lightsabers all leave as Doofen claims that he'll have a victory number in the fourth act.
So Doofen continues to taunt Perry and is going to use the Sith-inator on Perry to make sure that he doesn't die or fry to ashes with it since he wants to be super evil, you see. Sounds logically reasonable to me. Ferb arrives behind the door as Doofen wants Perry to join the dark side to become Sith buddies. So Doofen powers up the Sith-inator and shoots at Perry; but Ferb runs in and pushes Perry aside and takes the beam like a moron. Ferb is on his knees; but otherwise looking all right in an evil sort of way. Doofen isn't thrilled because he punched down on a kid; even though Ferb was responsible for getting in the way. Also; they are low on THE FORCE~ and need to refuel with trash cans. So Norm and Doofen bail as Doofen taunts Perry on the way out; and soon Perry will have a trio of Sith buddies. Known as the three Sith-keters! Because, why not? Norm asks who he can be and Doofen proclaims that he's the horse. Because, why not? As Doofen and Norm leave for some trash; Ferb looks up with yellow in his eyes and sees the Sith-inator. I love that Doofen talks about ending Act IV; when Act IV is already over and Act V is starting now with a shot of two imperial soliders on a com-link with Han Solo. In comes Candace, Baljeet and Buford with Candace's helmet off. Han sounds completely drunk as IO#2 gets backhanded by IO#1 who wants a squad sent in. They are ignoring Candace as usual; so really not much difference from the regular show methinks. So Han manages to short circuit the entire control panel so it's time to bring in the stormtroopers. Everyone runs in; except Candace, who gets cut off...AGAIN! What a sexist world this empire is?! She has to guard the post and that's an order, of course. Door opens with Phineas explaining something to Isabella, who looks awfully annoyed. Isabella asks if he's done and Phineas is done; as they run into Candace doing faces while sliding her helmet up and down. Speaking of bantha droppings; here comes the meeting of the minds. Isabella don't care and shoots to destroy the control panel. Phineas & Isabella bail into the hallway as Candace whines that it's coming out of her salery. I would worry about my neck at this point, Candace. So we head into the garbage disposal as some alien is wading in it, enjoying the trash as we see in the background, Chewbacca banging on the door as we see Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia with Chewbacca. Han Solo is being as sarcastic as humanly possible here.
So this one-eyed beast dives into literal sewer water as Doofen swims in (in diving gear) as they make jokes about Darth Vadar having asthama; which is quite insulting. The monster is a dianoga by the way as the sandwich is found and Vader touched it, so it must have the dreaded force of doom. Wow; that cellphone Doofen has is awesome then! This garbage collection exchange goes on for well past the expiry date as it apparently has choked out Luke Skywalker during this; but Doofen blows it off because he doesn't need him. Dianoga puts Luke back as Doofen blows off dianoga's brain powers and then opens the pressurized door and walks out. He closes and locks the door and then pushes a conveniently placed white button on the wall panel claiming that you don't forget to flush. So we hear the babyfaces screaming in the background as Doofen ignores them because someone needs to be oiled. So Norm and Doofen bail back to the hideout as the tomb of Perry is short-circuiting on the top left corner. Perry melts and heats up as lights and beams are flashing. In comes Doofen as we get the most hilarious hand-waving of a logic break ever since the door somehow has been completely fixed. Oh wait; I betcha Ferb fixed the door when he was being evil. Doofen bails to check on the Sith-inator while Norm checks on Ferb and Norm notices a box. Perry pops up and shoots the SMOKE EWOK ALARM OF DEATH and that sound completely short circuits Norm. Just a note: Ewoks was the first exposure of Star Wars for me in my childhood. I saw the live-action version and the Nelevana cartoon series during that time. I'm from Canada; what did you expect? Doofen simply walks back and stands right in the perfect position for Norm to tip over and crush him like a robotic Rusev. Doofen's a stupid idiot; what did you expect? Doofen complains about his spleen as Perry runs over to the Sith-inator and starts tinkering with it. Doofen climbs from the carnage and protests this outrage; before Perry grabs him by the lower jaw bone and jaw tosses him out of the hideout door. HAHA! Doofen gets up protesting and then Perry tackles him out of the hideout and we hear crashing sounds in the background. Jump cut to a credit union from imperial hell. Two officers talk about getting a saxphone just as the wall breaks and we get the FCC FRIENDLY CLOUD DUST FIGHT OF DEATH between Doofen and Perry...
Joey Styles: We just fix that wall!
One of the officers is Wayne Brady voicing according to the transcript in the Wikia by the way. Doofen is a stupid idiot who gets kicked in the face again. In the real world; assholes faces are punchable. In Doofen's case; it's also kickable. IO#7 wants to report it IO Wayne says no, because he's not losing his place in line. Jump cut to a hallway with Isabella and Phineas being chased by Candace. They slip on the sewer water and Phineas and Isabella take a bump into the wall while Candace slides onto a bridge and is hanging onto the bridge for dear life. In the background; we see Luke, Han, Chewbacca and Leia being chased by stormtroopers and shooting. Candace pleads for help and mercy and Phineas wastes no time saving her; despite Isabella calling Phineas a fool. Hey; if she tries anything; just shoot at her like you did with Vanessa earlier in this special! Candace is shocked that this happened because Phineas is a rebel. Except he never was; he only became a rebel because he found out the truth about the Death Star. Candace cannot believe this as Phineas bails because Buford is evil and cannot handle a laser gun. One stormtrooper free falls out the glass window and to his death as a result; Buford does the fakest apology I have ever heard. Candace looks out confused as we head further down the hallway with Isabella blowing Phineas off. No Isabella; he's both very brave and very stupid. Isabella and Phinea notice the MF is leaving with the R2 unit as more gunfire ensues as another stormtrooper gets it. The MF leaves into space as Isabella wants to go back to the CC; but Phineas stops. Why? Because he has to save Ferb, silly. Isabella is angry because that means they lose the falcon. Phineas then gives the disc to Isabella and tells her to give it back to R2-D2 instead while he goes rescuing Ferb as Isabella threatens to never come back. Phineas gives her the disc anyway and tells her to find R2-D2 and complete the mission. Isabella teases the heel turn; but Phineas runs off claiming that he trusts her. Isabella claims that she knows which one it is...It's actually both, Isabella. Phineas runs into the hallway and then stops past a room with red light. Phineas then walks into Doofen's hideout and notices the Sith-inator, which has multipled by at least seven units, like moose antlers. Phineas cannot believe this design as a robed guy jumps down; with his back turned to the hard camera.
Phineas realizes that it's Ferb; and Ferb turns around, wearing the Sith mask to officially cement his heel turn. Phineas doesn't have a clue and calls it cool face paint. Jump cut to the CC heading towards a blue planet. Jump cut to some hideout lab as two rebel officers are fishing out R2-D2's disc slot and they cannot find the Death Star DVD; and they panic as death references spew out; and then one of them proclaims that they will blame it on Jar Jar Binks; and the other guy blows him off because he retired twenty years ago. So next up is blowing up the place; which is even worse. And then Isabella walks in and gives the disc to the tech support guys, just like that. Isabella leaves as the tech support geeks suck up the disc and extract the information from said disc in CGI form on the computer and that is that. So we head back to the hallways with more Perry beating up Doofen as Doofen pushes Perry away and it's time for the light sabering....Oh wait; he only has a flashlight. I CLUB BS&P~! Doofen is a moron, what a surprise and his scary face routine does not change my mind on that front. Doofen bails and Perry follows as we head back with Phineas and Ferb as Phineas is wondering about the face painting booth as Ferb claims that he found the Sith-inator and redesigned it so he can create Sith-warriors and offers Phineas a chance to be a heel now. Phineas cannot contain his laughter on this and tells Ferb to shut up; which is a first for him actually. Phineas wants to leave as he wants to find a ship home since Isabella left on her ship. However; Ferb cuts Phineas off and brings out his red lightsaber because it's time to take Phineas into heeldom. Phineas backs up and throws objects to cut Ferb off. None of that works as Ferb cuts through all successfully. Phineas foolishly gets on a conveyer belt and gets cut off by the spare parts trash Ferb brings down as Ferb proclaims that if he refuses, then Ferb must kill him. He says destroy; but I know what Ferb means. Why not just say; "I'm going to break you!"; because "break" actually sounds threatening?! Ferb uses the lightsaber and Phineas goes into the sewer water, as the lightsaber literally dries the water up. Phineas is pleading for Ferb to stop this; no go. So Phineas is forced to bring out the lightsaber and it's officially ON BABEE!
Ferb goes into quarter staff mode and bashes Phineas down to his knees; but Phineas won't submit. So Ferb goes into six star staff mode as Phineas calls this a dare and starts using a tool to modifiy his lightsaber. Because, why not? Jump cut to Candace finally walking away from the abyss as Buford and Baljeet slide in wondering what is up. Buford doesn't even bother to cover up the fact that they were brainwashed into this as Baljeet calls it an orientation. Stockholm Syndrome much there, Baljeet? I just love how Robin Hood hasn't happened yet; so does that mean this sci-fi world happened well before the dinosaurs came to life? Hmmmmm....Naaaaahhhhh! Candace is confused about this naunce idea that maybe the rebels aren't all that bad. Baljeet and Candace finally admit that the orders of magnitude of blowing up an entire planet really hurts their case that the Empire is good and the rebels are bad. Jump cut to Doofen pushing button and cutting off Perry from getting to him using a black bridge. Doofen taunts Perry as Perry invokes the grappling hook rope of doom as Doofen notices this and mocks Perry as a monkey. What a racist prick this Doofen is? Punch him in the face; the kicks are having zero effect on this Neo-nazi doctor! So Perry hooks the grappling hook onto the front device of Doofen and yanks him down as they swing across another bridge; to allow Perry to kick Doofen in the stomach again and again and again and again and...(sips diet cola)...again and again and again. Second wall gets broken through in the process as Doofen goes flying. So we head out as the CC is being repaired as Isabella walks out and notices Han Solo and Chewbacca helping with supplies and repairs. Suddenly; all the Firestar Girls (The FireSide Girls only in Star Trek motifs) pleading for Isabella to join the rebellion, because they are using CHILDREN to man the planes. Never mind that Isabella is doing the exact same thing! Isabella yawns, no sells the deal twice and then walks away. Someone named Porkins calls this the worst speech ever and Gretchen tells Prokin to shut the hell up. Good for you, Gretchen. Stupid idiot man! Jek Tono Porkins is voiced by Jeff Stewart and his credits are: King Of The Hill as a storyboarder in 1997, The Mr. Men Show as Mr. Tickle in 2008, American Dad, Bickleberry, High School USA!, Family Guy, Bordertown, and Ready Jet Go! as his most recent credits. Phineas & Ferb is his DTVA debut and only appearance. That's it.
So Isabella walks back towards a bar as space ship leave the Yavin base. Isabella sits down on a stool (NOT THAT ONE!) and orders a juice box and peanuts. Then Han Solo and Chewbacca sit down next to her. This is the following exchange from them according to the transcript:
Isabella: I'll have one of those. (she gets a
juice box and some peanuts. Han and Chewie sit next to her.)
What happened, Solo? Garbage scow tip over and dumped you here?
Han:
What are you doing here, Isabella? Did someone run out of
cupcakes?
Isabella: Very funny. So where are you
heading?
Han: As far away from here as possible. (eats
some peanuts)
Isabella: Yeah. I don't have
any reason to stay here either.
Han: I don't owe anything
to anybody. (eats some more nuts. Chewie looks at
him.)
Isabella: I'm not in this to make
friends.
Han: Yeah. Obviously.
Isabella: What do
you mean by that? I've got friends! I've got plenty of
friends!
Han: Yeah? Where are they now? (beat)
Isabella:
Well...where are yours?
Chewbacca: (growls)
Han:
Put a sock in it, fuzzball!
Chewbacca: (whimpers
and growls)
Han: (sighs)
Maybe you're right. Maybe I do have someplace to be. See you around,
Isabella.(Han and Chewie leave her.)
Isabella:
(sighs) Eh, the Wookiee is right. (she
leaves)
Yes folks; that is how the conversation went and the guise of it is that this is their decision to return to the Death Star and help Phineas and Luke Skywalker stop Darth Vadar and Doofensmirtz. Meanwhile; Phineas and Ferb are destroying Doofen's room and modifiying their lightsabers to the point that LucasFilms might step into the middle of this and file a copyright claim on this. Strangely; BS&P let a Red Cross symbol on the floor during this as the light sabers now are propellers. Sadly; Doofen cuts this fight off by going through the ceiling onto the floor screaming after a **** fight. Doof gets up and the fight with the kids continues off-screen as Perry comes in, and cuts Doofen off. Doofen -- the funniest idiot ever --- steps onto the X and gets WARNERED and frozen tombed in the process. HAHA! Doofen has such brain freeze; but Phineas & Ferb don't care as the lightsaber propeller battle continues as Ferb destroys Phineas lightsaber and knocks Phineas into the conveniently placed door; dropping his stick in the process. Perry turns around and notices this as he runs in; Ferb turns to his right and uses THE FORCE~ to float Perry into the air. I hope he tries to do Freiza's bomb move that he used to kill Krillian in Dragon Ball Z; because that is what this special needs, a Super Platypusiyan. POW! OUCH! Ummm...Nope; he slapped Perry into some trash as Phineas tries to get the lightsaber; but Ferb uses THE FORCE to crush that. Phineas tries to turn the saber on; no go. Ferb uses THE FORCE to turn on the Sith-inator times ten and proclaims that Phineas will turn heel; but he is forced to dodge laser fire; because guess who makes the save? Candace. Phineas is in shock as he pleads for Candace not to shoot his brother in spite of being a Sith warrior due to a recent development. Phineas then asks why Candace would help him and Candace claims that he couldn't leave him hanging. So Candace tries to run interference; but Ferb destroys her laser gun. Phineas tries to get to the Sith-inator; but Ferb cuts him off. Then Candace brings out the black socks and slingshots rocks onto Ferb. Ferb no sells that as Ferb turns around to attack Candace; but Phineas throws the broken lightsaber over Ferb's head and it lands into the conveniently placed self-destruct port of doom on the floor near the Sith-inator. Oops! See; Doofen really did think of everything. Doofen wishes he shielded that part as the Sith-inator explodes causing debris to fly everywhere.
Somehow; this did not kill anyone as Ferb is back to normal resting inside some column. Phineas, Candace and Perry search for Ferb, Ferb is found by Phineas and they have a bonding moment. Aww; my heart melted. Then, we hear growling as the door opens and in comes Buford looking like a total tool in that robe he is wearing. Buford finds his sandwich and eats it. Ewwww! GET HIM AWAY! GET HIM AWAY! And yes; this is my final rant in 2017; so I am going to be as annoying as humanly possible without doing anything vile. And then it hit me: Buford was the one who killed Obi-Wan Kaboni in storyline. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Okay; I'm done. Anyhow; the "babyfaces" all flee as Phineas and Ferb notice Luke's ship being chased by imperial ships as they makes jokes about the weak spot being as big as a whomp rat. Candace yells at everyone to run; but it's no good because the bus pod (the last one I might add) just left the station. Everyone is screwed as Phineas proclaims that if we have to die (yes; they are using BS&P rule language); they'll do it for what they believed in. I should also note that Perry left with Doofen still entombed in ice as Phineas tells Perry not to be a stranger; while Doofen complains about the blood rushing to his head. Baljeet proclaims that he regrets being on the wrong side, Buford regrets eating that sandwich, and Phineas regret never reuniting with his sister that left Tatoonie when he was a baby. Candace suddenly has a ding sound look and realizes, Phineas is her little brother and they have a bonding moment that is made slightly creepier with Ferb hugging. Phineas explains that Ferb is their step brother as they relate that Lawerence and Linda married; but then we cut off-screen as the Death Star explodes...just like that....
And they died...END~! Oh wait; the CC made the save and everyone is fine because Isabella returned to save them. Everyone thanks Isabella for saving them and Isabella has completely mellowed out because she's their friend now. Baljeet is worried about the adults and Isabella informs them that they were all saved by the FireStar Girls getting them out earlier. BS&P RULEZS BABEE~! We even see the escape pod as the IO#7 got to play the saxophone; so at least this decision had a payoff. As for Perry; he escaped via Doofensmirtz's tower building ship as he is piloting it. A hologram of Major Monogram appears in the cockpit in front of Perry thanking Perry for a job well done as this day will be long remembered; but there will be more copies of the Death Star plans somewhere and thus they might have to blow up a few more battle stations. Perry is not happy with that as we see melting ice water on the floor. Perry goes to the back and sees Doofen has escaped the tomb; and man, that ship must be warm. Doofen taunts Perry and escape in a Perry-sized pod; with the keys poking him and that is that. Sadly; there will be no sequel since Phineas & Ferb officially ended a few years ago; and I doubt the Milo Murphy Law Crossover will contain any Star Wars references whatsoever. So we head to a giant hallway with all the babyfaces (and Candace's ragtag group) as it is time to PARTIE~! And yes; that absolutely gave away the ending on the DVD set complete with music and the song is "Rebel, Let's Go" sang by Vanessa and the Modal Nodes for her backup. Luke and Han got their medals; but not Chewbacca. Bigots. Ferb pulls the lever (JESUS~!) and let's end this episode at 51:00 right now as the TEDDY RUXPIN SONG OF DOOM plays through to the credits as well. Sadly; for the real Star Wars characters; this would not last as the Empire strikes back with a vengenance. And yes; Isabella kissed Phineas in this one; since there is no canon for either brand to worry about. Leia in a white dress dances with Perry by the way. R2-D2 does the worm and flips; while Luke and Han Solo are jealous of Perry dancing with Leia. Chewbacca spins with the FireStar Girls. Everyone dances for two more minutes as it ends with Porkins runining the buzz (by parchuting in like that imfamous boxing moment in the 1990's and shooting off his gun; getting buried after smashing into a wall and into the floor) and Isabella blows him off. This was a fun parody of Star Wars and nothing more. Diehard fans will turn on it; me, it was fun and fine. Besides; Kit is the better Luke Skywalker in every single way anyway. *** 3/4 (75%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Wow; this went off quicker than I expected. I didn't expect to finish this in one day flat; but the pace of this special was breath taking fast; almost like ranting on TaleSpin or Gargoyles actually. Sure; about ten minutes of this was musicials; but even the non-singing segments went by so fast that I couldn't believe that I reached the thirty minute mark by lunch. As a special; it was a very good parody of Star Wars and nothing more. Sure; there are moments which were absurd and a few moments that seem to be missing and make no sense; but it felt like a Star Wars version of Phineas & Ferb and it played really well as such. Like Mission Marvel; as entertainment, this was hilarious; but unlike Mission Marvel, at least the writers made sure to inform you that it was non-canonal and a parody, so it was enjoyable on that level. Strangely; there wasn't much of the original movie focused on this one; but whatever. Overall; this was very good and I have no regrets seeing it as is. Still won't make me see Star Wars for real; but whatever. So that ends Phineas & Ferb Star Wars and my ranting for 2017! I don't know what I am going to do for 2018; but for the rest of the year, I'm going to enjoy the Nintendo Switch and have fun with it. Probably the brightest spot in a year of absolute hate and doom this world has witnessed. So...
Thumbs in the middle pointing up for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
