Thanks all for watching, this was a fun one to make and we had to bring R5-DV back for more :) If you'd like to further support the channel, please consider leaving a super thanks, or even signing up as a member on TH-cam or Patreon - www.patreon.com/PeterHaynes
Please. How are you so mind bendingly awesome? This is epic!
I will tip you guys later, thanks etc
Didn't TK-FNG have a girlfriend before TK-069?
Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?
Love R5-DV
“LOOK OUT, A TREE!”
The worst nightmare of a Scout Trooper
Yeah..... I lost it there! 🤣🤣
Also, it's pretty bad when a Stormtrooper can use Longer Life Expectancy as an insult.
@@Mannequin-Skywalker must hurt real bad honestly
triggered their PTSD. Post Tree-Stain Disorder
Happy memories of Return of the Jedi returns. So if you get harrased by a scout trooper just go Tree!!!
Not gonna lie, that gave me the biggest laugh from TH-cam that I’ve had in a long time!🤣
"Well, we've got a real gun." Hits harder than a tree.
Fr fr
America
Haha I see what you did there
Say that to the guy who hit a tree at 320 mph
Scout Troopers do generally have a sense of superiority in the fact that they are better trained, and better equipped, so it's natural for them to stare down the regular troopers.
Regular troopers and off to the side as they fly the very dangerous speeders they are known for crashing
Tree
Why am I not surprised that the tree dodgers have an inflated ego?
They dodge trees? First I’ve heard of it
I mean, we ARE superior to Stormtroopers...
FKU: “Something’s wrong. It’s the middle of my shift and I don’t have a headache. …Better go save them from whatever they got into.”
*Walks around a corner only to be ran over by those two as they were running away
FKU: *Groans* “Yep…there’s my headache.”
Bet he knows what the sign means and has his own pilfered scout helmet
Lol accurate. He pretends like he doesn’t care but he totally does.
I love the fact you used scout troopers for this. Canonically scout troopers are supposed to have a superiority complex and be rather douche-y. If they are considered more “elite” than the average trooper,or something like that.
Which I guess they would be more elite. They are all given Stormtrooper training, but also swoop bike pilot training, recon training, and sniper training. Which Stormtroopers are already well trained shock troops above the average imperial army trooper, so it's basically like taking all the US marines First Recon, making them snipers and helo pilots too, then expecting them to look at the average marine as the same. They won't
At least not functionally no. I wonder if scouts get training when they start at the academy,or if they just get lucky enough to live through enough battles and get the promotion. If the latter is true they are kinda just gutless cowards lol. Most troopers who survive combat do it out of sheer fortune and good circumstances. It’s almost never because we got some master chiefs in the empire who are popping rebels left and right.
@@InfoAddict26 Its the academy placement tests actually and hoooo BOY, you dont wanna do TOO good on those. Because in the Empire "Elite" is just a euphemism for "Shit-end of the stick"!
Lol I can believe that. Elite doesn’t really say much in the empire unless your palps or Vader
I was half expecting them to bust out their repulser bikes and chase them down the halls. Because allegedly Scout troopers were know to do speeder bike drag races on bases they were stationed at
Damn you missed the chance of using such a good gag!
-Repulsor: Blows smoke in face.
-FNG points to head: You know these have full air filtration right?
I was thinking exactly of that!
Would have been very funny... And in character for FNG! He knows everything about Stormtrooper equipment
I'm so glad the "Vader" droid is still around!
And when Vader finds out who is responsible.
That is, if the person responsible is stupid enough to have it follow him.
Dear AFK,
''Look out! A tree!'' Created what I call a 'coffee meets keyboard moment.'
It was worth the paper towels; please continue.
Frank.
It was a "coffee meets monitor" moment for me.
@@weebee6922 Dear weebee,
Nice one.
Frank.
I needed a change of undies pissed myself so hard...ahem
@@MarvinXOnline Dear MarvinX,
We've all had those.
Frank.
Dear Frank,
I hope you recover from this. "Coffee meets keyboard" is a difficult situation. Been there with yogurt.
Nairo.
The repulsors are officially canon in my head, and it will never change.
Same
I want the official Repulsor skin on Star Wars Battlefront II. And no, it would not be regular scout armor, it would be the official REPULSOR armor.🤘
Would have loved to see TK-FKU handle these guys.
They would be in pieces.
Bruh, he probably would've shot the guy and successfully blame it on a weapons malfunction.
He’s having one day off and look what happens
I can just picture FKU looking for them and walking in saying “Jerry leave these two turds alone”.
HE wouldve actually known what the sign meant.
R2-DV pulling a Dukes of Hazzard at the end made my day 😂
At least he wasn't wearing Daisy Dukes.
That was pretty awesome as a nice rebel touch.
"Look out, a tree!"
Perfect, just perfect!
A scout trooper’s terrifying enemy
How the Repulsors panic at TK-069's callout of "LOOKOUT - A TREE!" is sheer comedy class. Absolutely fantastic.
If I was Disney I'd hire you guys and say "Just carry on with these; we'll help you with funding and resources. Don't change anything because this is a winner"
God, I love this series…
Man i never through I would see a Biker gang in the Empire, but here we are
they made it canon , in Boba fett. I understand why you didn't know about it. The only redeemable thing is Cad Bane and Olyphant had a few scenes as well.
"Look Out, A Tree!". What a great line.
I love this episode and as a scout trooper I can confirm trees do scare us and if they speak Ewok
I was on Kashyyyk once
*rustle rustle creak* Chiba chiba sohpa? Chak.
I honestly love the idea of the death star having a secret bar.🤣
Alright episode with scout troopers, I hope death troopers make it to next one. Also nice to see a new episode so soon, love these Star wars animations.
"Wow, so it's true what they say about these voice scramblers..."
"What do they say about it?"
"... I actually don't know? Never understood what they said."
...
"So it really works?"
"Frzk brlg jsoue fndien aoe slkap"
"Wow those voice scramblers are crazy"
*cough cough* *in a posh British accent* "Oh I'm terribly sorry I had womp rat stuck in my throat. I said what do you want?"
Did love FNGs double take when he realised R5-DV was still with them.🤣
After the second Death Star blew, the Repulsors change the name of their speeder bike club to "Sons of Anakin".
Oh, that’s good
I hope they keep up with this series, I love it!
I expected "hey, I know a short cut." that wouldnt be short at all, but this was funny too.
"Seems legit." 😆
Awesomeness and that droid still has the cape
I look forward to these way more than any current SW series coming out. Honestly it seems there is more dialog and nuance here than the first 3 episodes of Ahsoka! Please keep 'em coming!
Look out! A tree! 🤣🤣🤣 You guys have the best writers/comedians. And the whole rest of ya'll are stellar!
Good job with the visible height difference between FNG and TK-069 :-) Also R2-DV IS alive - thank god! Wait, does that mean Vader killed FKU (I mean - last time we've seen him he said 'Someone is going to die', right)??? Anyways - I guess they should better have asked a mouse droid for directions then stumbling blidly into this ridicilous exclusive bar for Scouts ... nice exchange, though! I wonder what Serge was doing in the meanwhile or if the 'Repulsors' are looking for some kind of payback now?
Seeing as how Sarge acts like an E4 most of the time he's probably napping in a closet somewhere
- "Well, I got two words for you: No catheter."
- "Well I got two words for you: Longer life-expectancy."
- "That's three words..."
- "Shh, shh. I think they didn't realize."
LMAO 😆👌👍
3:11 is the best part. That made my laugh a lot!
"Look out, a tree!" - LMAO Endor reference
Ah yes the tree. The scout trooper most formidable natural predator.
The single finest piece of media I have seen, this series is.
Scout troopers making a biker gang seems legit to me
"Involuntary donation" is my new favorite phrase.
I love that they have their own bar and mug other people when they enter. Classic scout trooper behavior
Y'know, this was great fun and all, but I almost think the part that I appreciate the most isn't even explicitly shown. I mean... Darth Vader saw R2-DV. And he affected an air of menace, promising that 'someone is going to die for this'. And yet, vader still hasn't actually stopped R2-DV from happily rolling around the station with its little cape and breathing sound effect. This makes me unreasonably happy.
as a scout trooper I can say this is a accurate representation of me
Wholesome stuff. I love the “Ain’t nobody call me boy except my mama!” line.
That is hilarious as always. Very well done. Thank you 😊
If Scout Troopers are bikers, would that make Range Troopers lumberjacks? 🤔
If I may ask a question... I'm retiring in the next few years (I'm a programmer). I was thinking of programming an indy game as my retirement job. Right now I'm comparing engines and of course Unreal is the god tier. How many of the visual assets are you able to buy vs have to create yourself and how much did they cost?
I know that I'm not the person you asked, but I can answer this question. If I'm being real? Even AAA game studios prefer to get their assets off the internet vs. making their own, it's more time/cost-effective. You really only create your own assets using something like Blender when you can't find what you need or are making something totally original. The Epic Games store is a place to buy Unreal assets, and they even give away free assets monthly. There are plenty of other places to get good free assets. Here are lots below:
1) Mixamo
2)HDRIHaven
3)TurboSquid
4)CGTrader
5)3dsky
6)Design Connected
7)Dimensiva
8)Blend Swap
9)Poly Haven
EDIT. Just ignore my comment. I confused Unreal with Unity. The moral of the story is, don't comment on things while you're half asleep. I will leave my original comment so the replies make sense.
******
Unreal has shot itself in the foot with it's download fees.

That's Unity.@@ptonpc
Godot.
That's Unity.@@ptonpc
Was waiting for a tree reference, was not disappointed
The scout and the storm troops had a pretty solid rivalry as I recall in the lore. Pretty funny seeing a bit of it
“Look out! A tree!!”. Okay at that point I did a very loud lol. 😂
Loved it! This series keeps getting better and better!
I can't wait for next film. Will we ever find out why FKU got stuck with toilet guard duty? Maybe it was his armor that Han or Luke stole? Or maybe he was the trooper that let Obiwan and Luke go? Or he's actually a clone trooper that survived!?
She went all George of the Jungle on them. Okay, thats funny.
That tree line was perfection
We need more episodes of our favorite troopers, and the repulsors! This would be epic!
I'm glad you're keeping the droid with them
That was academy award level humour.
"Look out, a tree!" Hahaha 😆 that's golden..
You guys put out quality stuff. Thanks for what you do
So good. "This ain't over don't think you heard the last of the Repulsers arrrrrrr. Ah quit it they ain't hear no more "
I'm glad that Droid Vader wasn't kicked out of the bar with a "we don't serve their kind here!".
Loved that punch line!😂😂😂 "LOOK OUT A TREE 🌲 “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂AWESOME
Look out for those trees! They're sneaky 😂
I just love Scout Trooper armor since i was kid back in 80`s :)
I love when weird shit happens but the characters just take in in stride. like yeah there's a motorcycle club on the star destroyer, makes sense
Oh, it's on a star destroyer. They are troop transport as well as other duties.
God, I love Scout Troopers. I wish I saw this sooner but no internet while traveling. Keep it up!
I wish the Blue Oyster Bar music played when the door opened 😊
I love this, the hidden details are incredible!
This one is my favorite, I can watch it over and over.
A droid RPing as Darth Vader is brilliant.
That was pure gold!
That's gold, Jerry! Gold! 🙂
You wouldn't believe how close this is to US Navy aircraft carriers.
Wait, do aircraft carriers actually have bars and weird gangs and shit like this on board?
@@Aredel gangs, not bars. They have a ship store as well.
As a fellow trooper, I must say Scouts are either the nicest troopers or the worst troopers you will ever meet. No in between.
As an old retired infantryman. Tankers suck. We have a saying in the infantry, "when in doubt, kill a scout." It's the gogo boots.
All jokes aside. Hooah.
Woops, I thought you were actually in the military. Just looked at your profile. My bad.
@RetiredWarriorHUAW Lmao, it's alright. Thanks for your service!
I'm nice
Awesome! Great episodes. Looking forward to more!
Seriously I love these, hope you keep them coming slow too so that way people appreciate them
That was awesome!! I love this series!
Great as always
"look out a tree", and now I have coffee dripping out of my nose - GENIUS!!! thank you for that much needed giggle :D
"Lookout a tree!" That girl gets it! 😅
This very much reminds me of stumbling into a chief's hideout on the USS Nimitz back in 2009. Flat screen TV, two leather recliners, mini bar and two crusty old chiefs smoking cigars in a dimly lit room. Only words they said to me were "I think you made a wrong turn, best you go back to where you came from".
I love it, y'all are the best
"Look out! A Tree"
Brilliant :)
Man i love your uploads dude
LoL! Going toe to toe with a scout trooper. The troopers voice sounds like J.D.s voice from scrubs and the scout troopers voice sounds like the guy from the walking dead.
This series unveils a whole new world of Star Wars
Awesome. This is the Star Wars I love. :)
Its wild how realistic this is
Another brilliant masterpiece
Repulsor: "I have a sweet ride."
Expected retort. "We stomp on Rebels. Your bikes just blow up near them."
Quality as always
"look out! a tree!" lol
This is the content we were looking for!!
This was my absoleute favorite out of the whole series! TK-FNG and TK-069 are literally me and a female friend of mine. Thisll be great to show her lolllll
Love that of all things a tree startles them!
I love how the scouts are depicted as Texas ranchers.
Thanks for making a new episode! Keep it up!
I just subscribed, it seems they post often. Nice.
Love it!!!
When she yelled tree I had flashback of watching Return of the Jedi and later playing the speedee bike game at an arcade. Fucking trees killed me a lot.
lol, that lookout, a tree! That's brutal
Love the Dukes of Hazzard reference.
When he blows the smoke and has the tiniest cough XD
Fits of laughter every time, love it all!
I love how the droid is like “WAAAAOOOHHH 🎺🎺🎺🎺”
“Look out a Tree!”
Classic.🤣🤣🤣
"Look out, a tree!"
Got me good
ARF trooper humor. Gotta love it.
