I watched Ani: A Parody for the first time...
Two in two days, lads look at me go!! But seriously, I LOVED IT HOLY SHIT
Now anyone who knows me knows that I love Star Wars, on May 4th I watched all the movies in just over 24 hours back to back, so I’m THAT Star Wars fan, right? I went into watching this with lowish expectations because I haven’t seen much attention being put on it, but after finishing it I have no clue why??? It was hilarious, I loved all the characters and the jokes they had and the MUSIC oh lord.
Starting with the music, oh god we are gonna have to stan TalkFine for the rest of time, it was INSANE, immediately going on all of my playlists for sure. I particularly loved One In A Million because it absolutely slapped. Also, loved the fact that Haunted By The Kiss is just Anakin’s quote from Attack of the Clones, nice detail.
I loved J.J. SO much, I was so sad about what Obi Wan did to him, which I never thought I’d say so that’s insane. Brian is overflowing with talent to pull him off as well as other characters in the show, we love to see it.
Jeffrey and Emily are goals, even if Tarkin sticks his foot in his mouth sometimes, we stan an iconic duo and it will now pain me to watch A New Hope after this knowing that they will both die :(
Nick Lang was insane and we love Pappy, I mean we already loved Pappy but now we love him more :) Loved seeing Nick in this, but also JOE MOSES. I love Bob so freaking much, dude. He’s such a lad, we love to see it :)
CHRIS ALLEN I LOVE YOU. I could leave it at that but I won’t because there’s too much to say, first thing being I loved the voice he used for Ani and his delivery was on point, I was laughing from the beginning. Especially loved the running joke about explaining his jokes, totally my kind of humour.
Denise as Mara Jade was a godsend, I never thought I’d root for someone to BECOME one of Jabba’s slave girls but here we are lol
MEREDITH AS OOLA AND ALL OF HER OTHER CHARACTERS WAS HILARIOUS AND WE ALREADY STANNED HER FROM BEFORE BUT SHE’S GETTING ANOTHER MENTION
Seriously though, why is this musical not higher up on people’s lists?? I saw that it came out the same year as Trail To Oregon, so part of me is thinking that maybe that took away it’s spotlight?? But IDK I haven’t seen TTO yet but I do know that it is a LOT more popular than this one.
Final note, I loved it a lot, I think I would rate it second out of the ones I have seen thus far, next to Firebringer, followed by Twisted, Black Friday and then TGWDLM (controversial I know, but doesn’t mean I don’t still like it)
Next one to watch might be MAMD because I haven’t watched any of the oldest ones yet and I need some more Joe Walker in my life
