How "Attack of the Clones" should have ended

Wednesday, November 25, 2015

The guys from How It Should Have Ended (previously) offer an alternate ending for Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
There were far too many scenes to cover in Star Wars Attack of the Clones. Like why doesn't anyone follow the money trail when the clone army is discovered being ordered by a long dead jedi? Why don't the Cloners Aliens ever call to confirm someone will come get their giant army after waiting 10 years to grow them? Why does everyone just let Dooku walk around? Why does OB-1 not mention that Dooku says the senate is being manipulated by the Dark Lord of the Sith? Why not make that public? The HISHE would be over 30 minutes long and we might have collapsed trying to build all of those scenes. So we hope you enjoy the scenes we chose. It was a very fun episode to work on.

For years, Black Friday has asked American shoppers this very question, and for years, they’ve responded with a resounding, “Give me that Xbox One or I will stab you in the face!” The front lines of Black Friday have become consumer war zones. Getting into a store just as the doors open means you risk getting punched, trampled, stabbed or shot. Lots of unlucky shoppers have left stores in the backs of ambulances. Some even unluckier ones have left in body bags. Black Friday may be the official start of the holiday shopping season, but if you’re not careful, it may also be the official end of your life.
