did any of you guys want to know the backstory of the doctor puppet from Star Wars 5?

One of Too-Onebee's earliest assignments found him serving the Galactic Empire on the planet Firro, a world recently subjugated by the Imperials. There, he was tasked with providing medical care to the civilians of Firro who were injured by Imperial atrocities. It was Too-Onebee's thankless job to mop up after what the Empire had left of the people there. After months of treating an unending parade of wounded, the number of people coming to see Too-Onebee began to decrease as the Empire settled in for a long occupation of the planet. It was then that the talented medical droid came under notice of Lord Cuvir, the newly proclaimed Governor of Firro while on an inspection of a crowded relief station. Cuvir, seeing the droid's determined efficiency and skill, took Too-Onebee as his own personal physician, ignoring the needs of the civilian wounded. Too-Onebee was distressed at having to leave the large numbers of wounded and disapproved of his new master's overbearing ways, but was forced to serve him faithfully in accordance with his overriding programming directive—to heal living beings no matter whom they might be. Nevertheless, he longed to serve those he thought were on the "right" side.[3]

Too-Onebee's opportunity to do the "right" thing would soon come. He accompanied Lord Cuvir on a visit to the planet Wor Tandell. While inspecting the medical facilities at the governor's mansion, he witnessed the assassination of Cuvir at the hands of one of the governor's aides. Staying true to his programming, Too-Onebee attempted to treat the mortally wounded Cuvir, despite believing him to be the most evil being he had ever encountered. The droid soon discovered the aide to be an undercover Rebel agent who identified himself only as Tiree. The man was, in actuality, agent Tay Vanis. Vanis had been secretly collecting information on Imperial fleet movements in the Tandell system when he was discovered by Cuvir. Vanis was forced to kill the Governor to protect his mission. Too-Onebee believed the man, having long dreamed about the rumored Rebellion. He accompanied Vanis in his escape and joined the Rebel Alliance. The droid served with Vanis on a few missions before being assigned to his most important role for the Rebellion.[3]

Along with FX-7, Too-Onebee arrived at Echo Base on Hoth and was quickly assigned as the head of the base infirmary. Too-Onebee was named chief of surgery.[3] The two medical droids treated a variety of injuries and patients, including Luke Skywalker's wampa scarring in 3 ABY. After the Battle of Hoth, Too-Onebee was evacuated aboard the GR-75 medium transport Bright Hope. After the transport was destroyed attempting to run the Imperial blockade, Too-Onebee reached the Rebel underground on the planet Darlyn Boda, where he served for a short time, before finally reaching the secret Rebel rendezvous point. There, he was immediately assigned to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Redemption to treat surviving wounded from Hoth.[4]

Luke Skywalker was so impressed with the droid's skill and expertise that he specifically requested him to treat the wounds he sustained in his battle with Darth Vader on Bespin while recovering aboard the Redemption.
Too-Onebee was reassigned to the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Home One sometime thereafter, where he served during the Battle of Endor.[5][6][7]
He continued to serve the New Republic after 4 ABY

I never understood why he had that tube thing going to his mouth area. Does he need to breath or something

The callbacks are barely in the movie, so who cares? It's like the space chess thing in TFA was dumb too, but it's like 2 seconds so who could possibly give a poo poo?

But then there's folks who're real dumb and think the existence of TIE fighters and AT-ATs are "fan service." They should probably just not watch Star Wars movies at all.

It's more in the way things like that are depicted in the new movies. Part of the charm of the originals (due to lucas' Mastery of film) was how all the amazing fantastical stuff is treated as normal and humdrum. For instance, when we see the holo chess thing, it's down in the bottom of the shot and little attention is given it. It just blends in with every thing else.

In the new movie, when they switch it on there is soaring orchestra music and the camera zooms in tight and intimate with one of the actors faces in the shot with wonder and awe as he gazes on this NERDGASM CALLBACK CAMEO and it just seems so dumb and contrived and I wish George was back he would never let that happen

It was shot, edited and framed like ANH and RotJ was. It most definitely didn't shake cam during those sequences like TFA did. The Star destroyers look like the plastic toys from the original, it was all CGI but they intentionally made it look like it was made in the 80's oppose to TFA which looks like Nu-Star Trek.

think about star wars like cumming. the original trilogy ranged from top quality head to solid p in v spooge action but that ended in 1983 and you've had decades of blue balls with only 3 very rough and unsatisfying handjobs to try and make you nut but they didn't work. then a skilled twink named JJ gives you a really skilled handjob and you cum 32 years worth of built up cum. but then next year you get another decent handjob but it doesn't really do it for you because you just got one and the handjob in 1999 gave you a venerial disease.

I kept waiting for this analogy to fall apart but it holds up really well.

The force awakens was all about making a "real" star war movie again and that's basically it. It was devoid of the spark of genius that Lucas and friends brought to the original and it felt like an expensive fan film.

There were some neat ideas in there but most of it was wasted. Also the big eye alien was weird and I hope whatever gross ugly voice actor played her falls in a spike pit

Once while watching the Olympics and there was a skier who was, black, and my grandma piped up and said 'well at least he won't get lost in the snow!' and I was just so shocked but I guess she grew up in a different time where horrible racism was the norm but please grandma don't say that again oh grandma"

Topher Grace I think had an edit of the Trilogy that reduces Episode 1 to about the last 10 or so minutes. it's a comment I've made before and even recently that nothing really important happens in Episode One and it didn't need to be a full-fledged film to tell the story it told and the story could have easily have started at AotC.

What story happens in Episode One that is so important that it HAD to be told in that film and only that film?

Something like an Animatrix version of the Episode One storylines probably would have been just as good a direction to take it in, each segment being sort of loosely connected vignettes of each of the action/plot bits going on in the film and you could probably excuse a lot of problems with just the nature of such a project.

A standard animated bit of the Federation ship/escape.
A dialog-free Naboo wildlife survival segment by Peter Chung
A trippy underwater segment of with a focus on Jar Jar as an Orko character who annoys the heroes.
etc.

Ah yes yes star wars episode one certainly would be better as a glorious anime!

So Jack is the Jimmy Fallon? I mean I'll grant you that one but I still win.

Josh and Jay are both serious art-house hipsters about weird movies you've never heard of, except Jay is hot. Jay has a series of "vlog" posts where you just watch a candle burn down. Oh man, the metaphors! (I actually love his weird poo poo, but still.)

I had a friend who was the bad version of Josh, which might help to explain. The bad friend would always recommend movies nobody had ever heard of but you'd know a couple people starring in it so you'd agree to watch it. A few minutes later you're watching "Super Capers" where a group of joke superheroes think someone has the power of Prayer. Like the person starts praying and by coincidence the villain trips and falls. And it's... kind of ironic... but it's mostly just really weird so it's kind of hard to tell where the line is. It has like... Adam West in it. And Sam Lloyd (the lawyer from Scrubs).

Yeah I'd be fine if that person in my life had been replaced with Josh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cikl8GlDik

Oh and the main character in this is named Ed Gruberman. That was always happening in these movies, the main character has the kind of weird name you know a writer obsessed over for a week before they could write a single line of the script. Or maybe "Ernest P. Stickleman" or like in Jersey Girl it was "Ollie Trinké". The main character has to have a weird name, and then you have to get a couple well-known names on your script. Those are the rules. It's mostly freeform from there, but it should be vaguely slice of life even though it's a trippy alternate-universe life the person is living that could only happen in some writer's script.

I have bad news for you, but it sounds like the josh in your friend group is you
