Phineas and Ferb/Star Wars cross over announced…yeah I know.
We wrote a while ago that Star Wars parodies in an animated world could be coming to an end thanks to the ridiculous buy of the popular franchise by the Mickey Mouse Club, but with this Phineas and Ferb/ Star Wars cross over we may or may not be wrong, but this new press release posted on StarWars.com isn’t helping either way. The premise of the one-hour special said to be airing next year on Disney Channel, is that lead characters Phineas and Ferb will be placed in the same time as the world of Star Wars. This is a bit of a different approach to the Marvel MEETS the cast of Phineas and Ferb as this sounds more like an actual CROSS episode where elements of Phineas and Ferb and Star Wars will be seen in the episode. According to the press release:
Phineas and Ferb are living happily on Tatooine, just one moisture farm over from Luke Skywalker. They love simply hanging out and creating new adventures under the twin suns, however, they find themselves thrust into a global rebellion when the plans for blowing up the Death Star accidentally fall into their hands.
Now that fate has suddenly pulled them into the fight for freedom, they must go in search of a pilot who can take them to the Rebels so they can hand over the plans. Complicating matters, Candace — the boys’ sister — has a Stormtrooper-like intent on “busting rebels” who chase Phineas and Ferb across the galaxy in hopes of retrieving the Death Star plans.
Meanwhile, back on the Death Star, Dr. Darth Enshmirtz, a low level Darth, has created a Force-powered “Sith-inator” that he plans to use against the Rebel Alliance. Agent P, working undercover for the Rebellion, is dispatched to stop him, but quickly gets trapped in carbonite. Then, things take a startling turn when Ferb is accidentally hit by the full blast of Dr. Darth Enschmirtz’s “inator” and becomes…an evil Sith.
From the sounds of it, it’s almost like the producers are ‘playing’ with the Star Wars mythology rather than offering up a true parody in the ilk of Robot Chicken or Family Guy. So, what do you guys think? Are you tired of Disney-Star Wars yet?
"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
