For the Empire
« on: February 15, 2024, 07:39:21 AM »
"Two troopers, one war, no sh*ts given."

3D animation following the adventures of two, later three in the 2nd season, Storm Troopers, one a ADHD rookie the other a gruff old veteran who just wants his tour to end.
Starts out a bit simple and get progressively better as it goes.

Some of this is comedy gold even managing to slip in jokes from the Adult Swim Star Wars universe and even Star Trek here and there.
Done in what is basically free animation software (Unreal) so don't expect big Hollywood level animation but they do far better than Disney in utilizing what they've got.
I would rather watch this than anything Disney has put out.

I've seen some captured segments of some of those.

Quite funny!
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

It's amazing how much emotion they can convey with just the suit movements.
When the officer asked them their destinations and the veteran answered TK-FKU you could tell the new guy (TK-FNG btw) almost *expletive deleted*it his pants.
Apparently the empire ran out of numbers  :rofl:

Officer: "I got your number FKU"
FKU: "FKU Sir!"
