Hey everyone! If you tried watching Episode 5 or this clip recently, you may have noticed them missing. It’s because they were both blocked by the owners of “Here Comes Santa Claus”. Apparently this year Santa is giving out copyright strikes instead of coal to all the bad boys. Stay tuned for a re-upload of Ep5, and the all new Obi-Wan Kenobi 1984 TV intro coming soon.
I was there. Forty five years ago, 1978, the real TV broadcast of the Star Wars Holiday Special. It was horrific... I can still hear the "whip whip stir stir" and the singing. God! The singing!
@@david2869 It was horrible. The Dark Side vomited a demonic broadcast upon an unsuspecting public. Millions of minds cried out and were suddenly stupefied in one swift stroke. Something terrible had happened and its repercussions ripple through Earth culture to this very day..
@@AngeloBarovierSDFull disclosure, it's a joke I stole from Bantha Tracks back at the time between Empire and Jedi. You know, those gate-fold pamphlets before it became a full on magazine.
I miss the original so much. There was something funny about a cheerful song about Santa coming to town being played over people screaming in pain and dying.
“Do you want to explain to me why we’re killing people right now?” God there’s so many memorable quotes in this one. Episode 5 is by far my favorite one you guys did!
"I don't understand. I've been a good boy." The betrayal in poor Wedge's voice is relatable. He's about 5 seconds away from figuring out that Santa doesn't exist and the whole thing is just one massive lie that grownups tell kids to get them to behave. Someone's about to head to the Dark side!
It's been 8 years and only NOW the copyright goblins have decided to claim "Here Comes Santa Claus"? As much as I appreciate this quick revision of Ep.5, it just isn't the same without hearing Gene Autry echoing the valleys of Hoth as good boy rebels are getting eviscerated left and right.
To clarify, this video and Ep5 were claimed from the moment they were released. But for some reason three days ago they graduated to a hard block. No idea why, but hey. We respect the decision.
@@Auralnauts I hope I didn't come across as upset at you guys for this change. I should have phrased it differently. I completely understand the situation and am sorry and frustrated that you had to make it after producing this video the better part of a decade ago now.
Damn. I know it's not your fault that this had to change, but it really was much funnier with the other music. I remember the first time I ever saw it, I think I laughed for almost 5 minutes straight. I was suffocating laughing. I'm sad to see it go. RIP one of the greatest jokes I've ever seen
New song still works great. I agree "Here Comes Santa Claus" is the best choice, but this is the next best thing. Also forgot how goddamn funny this sequence is. I'd definitely put this clip at the top of a "Best of Auralnauts" list. 3:22 "I don't understand...I've been a good boy." Always gets me cracking up like a maniac.
"You might want to hold off on broadcasting." "Oh, it's too late for that buddy. We've been broadcasting all morning, this Is live!" "Bollocks" Mu favorite part.
Reindeer antlers on AT-AT walkers. LOL and this whole thing, especially Vader watching the accidental slaughter...remember a certain radio station in Cincinati and a certain Thanksgiving Turkey Give-away that went this kind of wrong??? LMAO I love this vid!! Sharing, of course!!
Yes! Great job! Please @Auralnauts , My Master, instruct me in the ways of the Force humor! I’m lacking with the skill set and know how needed. Great work, thank you for the positive imagination in a world with SW negative everywhere. That was and is FUN. 🥰
The idea of an emperor who only worships himself wanting to put Christ back in Christmas is an interesting one. I’ve never seen that in real life. Never ever.
@@Auralnauts Hell ya brother, the sounds from that game are so visceral - even more eerie because it's completely silent - and then the dragon chicken pops out the next frame and you clinchin those booty cheeks and runnin for yo life LOL

Santa's a butt nugget.
Yeah, I was just thinking of all the lost revenue that the creators of the song back in 1947 lost out on by you using it in a video
I mean, it's atrocious now. But at the same time Mr. Palpatine has this Vince McMahon vibe so he'd pick out some Christmas elevator music.
I can't believe these scum
Unbelievable holiday music is copyrighted even tho it's used everywhere
The emperor telling vader "hologram now!" gets me every time lol
Fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....
FUUUUUUUUUUU.......................
lol absolutely brilliant
I will never stop laughing at this ending:
"Vader. Hologram. Now."
"Fuuuuuuuuk...."
Classic.
To me This is the REAL Star Wars Christmas Special.

@@david2869 Grandpa wookie watching porn.
This just won the "Dad Joke of a Galaxy Far Far Away" award.

I've seen it when it aired; but I barely remember a thing about it. All I clearly remember was the Wookie boy playing with the toy shuttle.
They won't see Santa; they're Rebels without a Claus.
Thank You
This is a horrible dad joke.
I approve. 🎉

Bravo 👏🏾

Same!
@HermitKing731 this is 100% my favorite comment : )
Something about this feels darker though.
Every step is a new nightmare. All I feel is pain.
what happened to the original? I have a copy saved, i think, if people need it
Hearing the rebel pilot say "I love Christmas" just fills my heart with joy
really shows how out of touch palpatine is
Yeah you do!!!!!
I don't understand! I've been a good boy!
At the same time, "It doesn't make sense. I've been a GOOD boy", the guy is just so bummed out...
“Do you want to explain to me why we’re killing people right now?” God there’s so many memorable quotes in this one. Episode 5 is by far my favorite one you guys did!
Wow...... there is just no way to spin this.....
Yep, all these years later, and the line reading for "I don't understand. I've been a good boy" still cracks me up.
Clearly you haven’t been
@@Bluewah96haven't been what
@@Feasco A good boy
The reliable use of British actors in the SW universe makes the utterance of "Bollocks!" solidly fitting.
The "I Love Christmas" Guy is still my favorite
“I’ve been a good boy :(“
"I've been a goood boy..."
"I don't understand. I've been a good boy." The betrayal in poor Wedge's voice is relatable. He's about 5 seconds away from figuring out that Santa doesn't exist and the whole thing is just one massive lie that grownups tell kids to get them to behave. Someone's about to head to the Dark side!
Since viewing this episode I find myself repeating "Yeah, I don't really think that's an issue right now!" on at least a weekly basis
Mine is: "Oh, it's too late for that, buddy!"
On a weekly basis from a video from two days ago? You're in a time anomaly or something :l
3:22 "I don't understand, I've been a good boy" 😂
It's been 8 years and only NOW the copyright goblins have decided to claim "Here Comes Santa Claus"?
As much as I appreciate this quick revision of Ep.5, it just isn't the same without hearing Gene Autry echoing the valleys of Hoth as good boy rebels are getting eviscerated left and right.
It's been 8 years already? 😬

@@Auralnauts why? TH-cam are a bunch of fascist dicks.
PS: will there be an Episode 9?
i think the old version is back, check the 3 min version on their channel
Thanks! You guys are mad geniuses ...
Hey. Thanks so much.
I still crack up over:
"I don't understand. I've been a good boy."
"Yeah, Wedge, I don't think that's a issue right now!"
I remember fighting in the Christmas Wars. It was the exact opposite of Life Day, what with all the death and destruction.
Damn. I know it's not your fault that this had to change, but it really was much funnier with the other music. I remember the first time I ever saw it, I think I laughed for almost 5 minutes straight. I was suffocating laughing. I'm sad to see it go. RIP one of the greatest jokes I've ever seen
Who are the copyright holders of "Here Comes Santa Claus" (so I know who to relentlessly cyberbully)?
"I love christmas"
I don't understand. Auralnauts have been good :'(
Yeah, Matt? I don't really think that's an issue right now!
Stefan! Hologram! Now!
@@AngeloBarovierSD hologram?!? OFFICE! NOW!
Not even Halloween yet and the Christmas propaganda has already begun.
Sounds like a normal year in retail!
This is seriously the first thing I thought when I saw this video pop up in recommended. In this case, however, I don't mind!
It just isn't Halloween without the Christmas celebrations...
Christmas usually starts in August.
It's the NNN singularity
For all the giggles, thank you Auralnauts! Early x-mas spirits! 🎅❄☃
Awe thanks for the correction guys, this is legitimately my favourite scene from this saga.
The reason doesn't even matter, any day that I get a notification of an Auralnauts video is a good day.
The emporer imposing xmas on a planet that doesn't celebrate it horrifies me in the most hilarious way possible
That's not The Emperor. It's Mr. Palpatine, CEO of Imperium Entertainment.
There's something about mixing both Jinglebells and explosions together that is both entertaining and unsettling.
I sure hope you were good this year, it looks like Santa just took out the Pearson house... INCOMING!
I love the Reindeer AT-AT’s blasting everything and everyone beneath them. So adorable! Now this is Christmas!
New song still works great. I agree "Here Comes Santa Claus" is the best choice, but this is the next best thing. Also forgot how goddamn funny this sequence is. I'd definitely put this clip at the top of a "Best of Auralnauts" list.
3:22 "I don't understand...I've been a good boy." Always gets me cracking up like a maniac.
I’m in tears thanks for the laughs probably the funniest thing I’ve seen in a few years
Brilliant..... this is the Star Wars we needed
OMFG SANTA!!! LMAO This was awesome
When I think of Star Wars, I always think of petty office politics.
Oh man! This is the last thing around that really gives me that old feeling of christmas - you know, the spirit of festivity.
another iconic auralnauts video hot off the press
I love how they revert to Hayden’s voice for darth. “Faaaahhhh” *slow spin* 🤣
"You might want to hold off on broadcasting."
"Oh, it's too late for that buddy. We've been broadcasting all morning, this Is live!"
"Bollocks"
Mu favorite part.
not since the Cincinnati Aerial Turkey Drop of Thanksgiving 1978 has there been such a sudden tragic turn in holiday cheer
I love it when a plan comes together!
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that
Good to be reminded why auralnauts rule
Thought it was new content when the notification came in, but I'm not disappointed
I was smiling for a while but “Bro, this is sick” into his wrist-comm got me busting up 2:28
Always a good day when Auralnauts releases a video.
Wedge: "I don't understand - I've been a good boy" - Gold right there lol
They should have over a million views. Then again, this is a national treasure that should be protected at all cost.
HOLOGRAM, NOW!
Like futurama meets Star Wars, excellent stuff!
Can't believe I want despecialised editions of auralnauts videos now
Robotic Santa cracks me up every time.
"Woah, hey! There's Santa!" Me: WTF?! Loved this! Nice work
Palp is like a examplary dogmatic boss that workers in old-schooled companies have to struggle with, lol
I am so glad this was made, thanks
i think we need an entire clone wars parody from you guys
Gorgeous! A truly worthy edition. Well done!
This always brings a smile to my face.
Reindeer antlers on AT-AT walkers. LOL and this whole thing, especially Vader watching the accidental slaughter...remember a certain radio station in Cincinati and a certain Thanksgiving Turkey Give-away that went this kind of wrong??? LMAO I love this vid!! Sharing, of course!!
This video gives off the vibes of the edits from 2011. And that’s a compliment!
Ah a classic
You can't argue with classic comedy.
I died at the AT-ST Claymation Santa. 😂
omg this is freaking Awesome!... seeing Santa cracked me up lmao...
It’s getting closer to Christmas and I’m already watching this awesome video! 😂😂 Happy Holidays, Star Wars fans!🎄
All according to CREEPIO's plan
more like Darth Creepio the Meglomaniacal!
FLESH!
The SINGULARITY ENGINE!!!
@@dutchmansmine9053 a machine so diabolical only a sith could create it! - the ghost of Obi Wan-Kenobi
CAN YOU SEE ME NOW, FATHER?
The ending was priceless 😂
FAHHHHHHHHHH--- 😂
Yes! Great job! Please @Auralnauts , My Master, instruct me in the ways of the Force humor! I’m lacking with the skill set and know how needed. Great work, thank you for the positive imagination in a world with SW negative everywhere. That was and is FUN. 🥰
Great work!
I stopped this at 45 seconds in, over how I'm still impressed with the set and realized, in today's Didney Star Wars that would all be CGI.
Oh my Force! This is epic! Thank you!😂😂😂
Thanks!! that was hilarious!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's crazy! Good work!
OMG - Super wicked awesome 🤩 Lots of fun and very well done - Love it - Ty ty for the laughs 🥰
Auralnauts are back, baby!
This was a good re edit from your original Christmas parody.
Cool that you added music from Blade Runner and Outland.
It brings warm feelings to my heart.
"I've been a good boy" 😂
Even an Empire Holiday Parody is better than episodes 7-9
Ill always love wege's pouty face when he says "i've been a good boy!"
I lost my shit at "we're putting the Chris back into Chris'tmas."
"...what?!"
Well, that Santa was the most hilarious and disturbing thing I've seen in a while
I love Christmas!
What the actual fo$k!! 😂
This is the only holiday video I will allow till at least Halloween has passed.
Christmas? We have confirmation that Auralnauts skips straight to Christmas when September gets here.
This is what you get when you try to change Life Day to "Christmas".
Its Life Day erasure, they want us to say Christmas instead of life day now, its Wookie Oppression!
I've always hated Christmas so this is perfectly on brand for me lol
I love christmas :)
That's the way I remember it... Amazing I could drink that much and still breath underwater! Same thing happened at Macy's last Thanksgiving!
Gotta take one of those ATATs with me when I do Christmas shopping at Cosco.
This is better than anything since the Disney Buyout for Star Wars. Thank you.
This is now my answer to “what’s your favorite Christmas movie? “
I'm glad the Star Wars Holiday Special got a sequel.
The idea of an emperor who only worships himself wanting to put Christ back in Christmas is an interesting one. I’ve never seen that in real life. Never ever.
^whoosh
I miss the Life Day Parade Turned Christmas Parade Turned Massacre.
I like the 'Outland' theme in the background.🤣👍
BOTH of my Kids heads exploded!!!!! NO WAY!!! ty guys!!
rip your kids
LMAO!! 😄@@Feasco
Brilliant 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Need some holiday cheer soon and this hits the spot
I bet nobody noticed that the auralnauts intro is actually from Atari 2600 Adventure, or at least a riff of it
This is the second comment we’ve seen about it in ten years. c:
@@Auralnauts Hell ya brother, the sounds from that game are so visceral - even more eerie because it's completely silent - and then the dragon chicken pops out the next frame and you clinchin those booty cheeks and runnin for yo life LOL
The victory tone when you get the chalice back to the gold castle as I recall. Iconic riff from an amazing game from back in the day!
That Santa will honestly haunt me
Love the music from "Outland" being used❤❤!!
This is genius I cracked up 😂
