I do have one little critique, particularly with this chapter. While the other toylines are a hoot to watch you satirize, the Star Wars story has been lampooned to death. Some of the jokes just seem like recycled material from Robot Chicken or Family Guy. Don't get me wrong, Star Wars is a gold mine of ridiculousness, but that makes poking fun at it all too easy and common. I enjoy it a whole lot more when I see you making fun of the other toylines as well, or when toylines clash and try to insult each other.
Sorry you feel that way, As I have said its what I feel at the moment and at that moment I felt like poking at Vader's creation. It all hit me when I looked at the Tat Anakin one day. After that the whole dialouge with Padme and Obi-wan popped in my head and it flowed from there.
Not sure what you mean by recycled from Family guy and Robot Chicken though, I re-read and I didn't see any, also niether one went towards Ep 3 at all that I remember (But to be fair I never watched the whole Robot Chicken one).
But SW parodies have been around for ages, and will probably be around forever. I know I have a few more SW Jokes planned (hell alot of them) but then again SW is what cemented my love for 1:18th Scale. Sure Joe played an important part, but SW was there 4 years ealier and R2-D2 was my first 1:18th scale figure. In fact I can't imagine doing this without SW in the thick of it. While there are plenty of "Stars" in the tale, SW plays a major part, again I am sorry, but I don't think it would have the same feel, especially without Vader (Whom I consider one of the Major Stars of this thing, Nearly as important as Toxie himself).
Lastly I am not one to go on about ratings (even though I am doing a parody of that right now
) but at this point Chapter 6 has the most "Hits" of any chapter in the set (Seconded by Luke and Mara in Chapter 2 another SW knock) so apparently people dig it when I got there.
