!! Larry

A six part GagDub series made over ''Series/ObiWanKenobi''.

** The Inquisitors in ''Larry'' are just a bunch of online influencers who are just following the latest trend. About the worst thing they do is threaten to reviewbomb a dive bomb for not being cool enough.

** The Jedi are a bunch of drugged out destructive saviors and dance party fanatics. Obi-Wan is the worst of them all.

** ''Return of the Jedi Reimagined'' actually follows up on this, even though the Auralnauts are constrained by the original footage. Luke and Vader are plotting with each other, against the Emperor, from the beginning, but Palpatine's last-minute manipulations trick them into fighting each other anyway. Then Luke and Vader use the power of ''the dyad'' to kill Palpatine, which earlier dialogue had established as [[DeaderThanDead the only way to permanently kill him]]. So this trilogy of gag dubs starts with trying to make the Original Trilogy more consistent with the sequels--and ends by [[FanonDiscontinuity making it impossible for the sequels to happen at all]].

** Poe Dameron goes a bit crazy during his backstage pass meeting with Kylo Ren, and his antics prove so embarrassing that he gets banned from all future Kylo Ren shows. He decides to ruin Kylo Ren's career and destroy Laser Moon in revenge.

* AbnormalAmmo: The rebels attack the Laser Moon not with proton torpedoes, but with sacks of mouldy peaches.

** Poe Dameron gets a bit too wild at the Jakku party, shits his pants and becomes a social media sensation for it, and gets banned from all Kylo Ren shows. So he rationally decides to try and destroy Laser Moon and derail Kylo Ren's career as revenge.

** The Sith and the Empire are really legitimate businesses trying to protect their investments. Mr. Palpatine's flagship project is Laser Moon, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a moon-sized laser tag facility]]. ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really]].) His ventures are constantly hampered and harassed by the Jedi, none of whom does he actually kill. Anakin joining Mr. Palpatine and becoming Regional Manager Vader is ''not'' the StartOfDarkness from the source material, but instead a turning point for Anakin regaining control of his life.

* AdultFear: Darth Vader fears that his daughter Leia was still aboard Laser Moon when it blew up. He tries to call her, and breaks down when there's no answer.

-->--[[BraggingThemeTune Dance of the Fates]]

** Kylo Rena nd the First Order are still operating Laser Moons, and Ren is a big-time rap star who genuinely cares about his employees.

* BlackComedy: After Creepio uses Laser Moon to destroy Alderaan and all its inhabitants, it announces that it had scored 5.6 billion points.

* AntiVillain: The Empire is presented far more sympathetically in this portrayal than in actual Star Wars canon. This time, they're just a big business conglomerate (admittedly, a predatory one) rather than war mongers or world conquerors. They come across sympathetically, when compared to the pointlessly destructive Jedi and the genocidal Creepio and Laser Moon.

** Creepio goes from a Psychopathic killer trying to inflict pain on all, to a cynical, but ultimately good natured dmt-smoking robot.

* ContagiousAI: Drives the ongoing B-plot of the entire saga, though some of the details are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ynmC1-YAEc&lc=UgwM4b5JdEr5lrOlgj54AaABAg only retroactively explained in Episode 6.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: Creepio destroys Bail Organa's home planet, Alderan, because Organa had wiped Creepio's mind 19 years ago.

* LivingInASimulation: Trooper 2's belief is that they are simply mooks living in a simulated world and are thus locked into roles being cannon fodder.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Music/JohnWilliams' [[Film/ThePhantomMenace "Duel of the Fates"]] theme has been added to the duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and later to the duel between Luke and Darth Vader.

* OffTheRails: The first video follows the original plot of ''A New Hope'', just with a lot more exposition. Things start to change in their version of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', where Lando deliberately turns Han over to the Empire as revenge for [[Film/{{Solo}} the death of L3]], and Darth Vader invites Luke to TakeAThirdOption with him rather than tempting him to the Dark Side. The episode even ends right there, with a "To Be Continued" card, leaving open the possibility that Luke really does join Vader.
* StealthParody: The first video was intended to make a point about the stupidity of editing a classic film to make it more consistent with movies that came out decades later. Even so, the editing is seamless, the voice acting is spot-on, and the changes to Vader's dialogue start off pretty reasonable--before gradually growing into absurdity. In the youtube comments section, there are several people who admit they mistook this for a ''serious'' attempt to improve ''A New Hope'', and suddenly realized it was a joke when Darth Vader interrupted his duel with Obi-Wan to remind everyone that ''Senator Jar Jar Binks was the one who gave Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers during the Clone Wars.''

* OffTheRails: The first video follows the original plot of ''A New Hope'', just with a lot more exposition. Things start to change in their version of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', where Lando deliberately turns Han over to the Empire as revenge for the events of ''Solo'', and Darth Vader invites Luke to TakeAThirdOption with him rather than tempting him to the Dark Side. The episode even ends right there, with a "To Be Continued" card, leaving open the possibility that Luke really does join Vader.

Two (so far) GagDub videos which edit the Original Trilogy movies to make them "more consistent" with the Prequel Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, and the various TV series. [[AffectionateParody "Inspired"]] by ''Film/StarWarsSC38Reimagined''.

* CutenessProximity: Vader tries to guilt-trip Luke into joining him by holding up a photograph of [[Series/TheMandalorian The Child]]. "Look into his eyes and try to deny your feelings. Luke... If you won't do it for me, do it for... him."

** Parodied when the newly-dubbed Vader is ecstatic in the equivalent scene of the original's BigNo. This version of Vader is happy (despite just getting off of the surgery table) because he just landed a really good and lucrative job with the Empire.
