Funny / Star Wars: The Living Force

Go To

  • The antics of the Stupid Crooks trio of Wungo, Ghor, and the Lobber include things like being bluffed into thinking Jedi can shoot lasers out of their eyes, thinking a Jedi Councilor is a "brain doctor" due to getting counselor and councilor mixed up, and swearing to a pirate captain that they were going to steal a ship so they could give it to her and then getting the name of her gang wrong. Their new boss openly laments how keeping the three of them around is hurting her Villain Cred.
  • The villainous Zilastra is introduced musing about her catchphrase ("You can't have a meeting of the minds if nobody attending has one") and then teasing herself for taking the time to muse about that in the middle of a gunfight.
  • Yarael Poof once coined a pun to keep in mind while meditating: "The Force cannot be forced."
  • The Establishing Character Moments of several Jedi Councilors have moments of levity.
    • Eeth Koth inventories everything that was left behind at a recently closed Jedi outpost and is left gaping at the size of a catering bill incurred the one time the outpost hosted a Hutt.
    • Plo Koon spills some engine fluid all over himself while repairing a starship and sternly warns an observing Saesee Tinn not to dare to laugh at the sight.
    • Yaddle is buried in paperwork about accidental damage caused by various Jedi, such as one Padawan who accidentally impaled his (droid) taxi driver and caused the taxi to crash into a festival while using his lightsaber as a flashlight.
    • Adi Gallia and Yoda have to sit through a boring meeting with the Supreme Chancellor where they discuss requests people asked Valorum to pass on to the Jedi that range from boring to making impractical celebrity endorsements. Adi finds herself concentrating on the color of the wallpaper.
    • Yarael Poof and Ki-Adi-Mundi have a sparring match where Poof turns out to be a Combat Pragmatist who isn't above Force-persuading several assistants and then joking that he didn't need to hypnotize their students due to how popular he is.
    • Mace Windu begins his conversation with Qui-Gon by noting how the other Master nodded off while waiting for him.
    • Even Piell asks a tourism center for information about what areas have fistfights and muses that his last assignment was so pointless that having a celebration where the food itself was the guest of honor would have been nicer.
  • Speaking to the entire Jedi Council is a dizzying experience even for an exalted Master like Qui-Gon. Literally dizzying, because the circular layout of the room makes him have to do a lot of fast turning to answer successive questions from people sitting far apart.
  • Qui-Gon says he has no desire to question the wisdom of the Council, only for Yoda to snark that past meetings have already proven that statement false.
  • A cabbie droid who gives Plo and Saesee a ride admits she is a tour guide by design and has never driven a fare (let alone one over the dangerous bridge they are presently on) before.
  • Ki baffles a vendor by ordering shaved ice without any flavoring, insisting the ice itself is a flavor, exasperated another vendor with the size of an order he makes for an anniversary celebration, and gets propositioned out of nowhere by a Yakoran woman whose husband gets Mistaken for Cheating with a Wookie.
  • Yaddle is mistaken for a child while happily cruising around on a souped-up speeder.
  • Yaddle is interviewed by a Troig reporter with two very different personalities who has to do a Last-Second Word Swap to replace a bold speech with a commercial break warning at one point.
  • A captive Depa Billaba has enough Face Death with Dignity resolve to mentally snark about delays that are holding up her planned execution.
  • Master Poof is aware of how silly his surname sounds in Basic and unsuccessfully tries to encourage the Councilors to call each other by a First-Name Basis as a result.
  • The Running Gag about Jedi being annoyed by or confused about mentions of the local Boolah kittens (besides Yaddle, who adores them).
  • The straitlaced Ki has to get several fake piercings to infiltrate a Bad Guy Bar.
  • Eeth getting an urgent call from a (female) acquaintance turned informant and calling another Councilor to analyze her message causes some of his peers to wonder if he is seeking relationship advice.
  • Zilastra and her goons are preparing to strike during a precise moment of a celebration and get increasingly exasperated about how the Jedi keep delaying it to allow more of their members to address the crowd (all the while secretly knowing what she is up to and deliberately stalling).
