Review: Maggie Simpson in “The Force Awakens From Its Nap”
Love Star Wars? Love The Simpsons? Well then you are going to LOVE this nearly three-minute commercial all about how both The Simpsons AND Star Wars are owned by the same company and can be found on the Disney+ streaming service which just celebrated going over 100 million subscribers since launch. The very short episode offers up a LOT of punch in that it features call backs to almost every Star Wars property including the entire Skywalker Saga, Clone Wars, and more. We even get an epic light saber battle between Marge and a Darth Maul-baby which ends in a rather surprising fashion that I would prefer not to ruin here.
The David Silverman-directed short was partly written by Michael Price which is a perfect choice given that the longtime producer for The Simpsons is also a Star Wars encyclopedia having done other parodies for different networks. With Marvel’s What If? coming in August, there’s already talk of there being a Marvel crossover with The Simpsons similar to this, and with this being very well done, fans should be excited about the limitless opportunities the co-productions can bring to the table.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
