YMMV / Star Wars Detours

---

• Memetic Mutation:
  • "YO DUDES! The Empire's pretty chill! Maybe you could like join it or something."^Explanation Darth Vader filming for an Imperial propaganda film by trying to act Totally Radical has been prime material for Mood Whiplash edits on YouTube such as telling this to Padmé on Mustafar, to Obi-Wan during their fight on the Death Star, to Ahsoka on Malachor, and so on.
  • "His name was Windu and he went out a window!"
• Uncertain Audience: Seth Green openly admitted that the show struggled with this, which was likely a major reason why it didn't make it to series. The basic premise (an animated Star Wars parody) was way too juvenile to appeal to many adults, but the actual style of humor (which largely consisted of snarky rapid-fire verbal comedy) was also too subtle to appeal to most kids.
  "George said it best: it's a little young for the older people and a little old for the younger people."
• Vindicated by History: The premise was largely met with befuddlement and head-scratching when it was first announced, which may be part of the reason Lucasfilm chose not to release it. But nearly a decade later, it was unexpectedly reevaluated after several clips wound up on YouTube, with many fans finding it genuinely and unironically hilarious. Today, many fans are openly calling on Lucasfilm to release the completed episodes.
