Show of the Weekend!! The Oxtra and Oxbox teams pitch their favourite SNES games, and the thorny issue of the Star Wars prequels rears its spiky Darth-Maul-head O_O Have brilliant weekends everyone, and enjoy!

[@Monkeyshaman]

I agree with ellen though, the first three are the best trilogy.

[@guftders]

Gotta say, the prequel trilogy was only bad because of the dialogue (well, about 80-90% of it anyway). Everything else was great, and the reason I got into Star Wars was because of the Phantom Menace- I only watched the originals because Episode 1 was amazing.

[@danielcharland1374]

The prequels are actually very deep and a fascinating transformation and fall of both Anakin and the Republic by Sidious into Vader and the Empire. The slow political manipulation fascinated me and I never understood why people hate them.

[@ethanlappin]

Outside Xtra on a train as I watched this and got some funny looks for rather loudly exclaiming Naboo...

[@austinparker5053]

Outside Xtra THE PREQUELS AREN'T THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY, ELLEN!!!!!!!

[@squashyball]

I love that one of the top reviews on Steam for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is simply "Ellen was right."

[@amazig4957]

squashyball wow, that is amazing

[@outsidextra]

HAHAHA OMG

[@squashyball]

If that isn't a sign that the people want at least one video of Ellen playing KOA, I don't know what is. :D

[@MrBremit]

Not just one of the top reviews, the most helpful

[@ClumsyByFact]

Wow, 40 people found it helpful... Ellen really started a movement

[@Astfgl]

It has been demonstrated that if you place a box in the middle of the room and walk away, then 15 minutes later you will find Ellen sitting in it.

[@przemekgeorge1405]

So she behaves like a cat and like a wolf, moves on the ceiling like a spider, what else has bitten you, Ellen !?

[@CRYOKnox]

Astfgl so allen is some kind of a cat? maybe not a Werewolve? Or a Weresquirrel?? makes only sense for german speaking people who know the lost name of the squirrelrace and their mythological status...

[@mikeshogunlee]

She is like a cat that way....

[@kantyran6449]

CRYOKnox well... I'm german ... but I really don't know about those things.

[@Russluke100]

Don't try this, I think David Hayter has invaded my home. I'm scared

[@aaronmcdonald4685]

"James the commenters love you" "I know" James. Strong, silent, and also modest. The camera man we need, but not the one we deserve

[@daafaev15]

Aaron McDonald Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. *James flaps away into the darkness*

[@thesteveharrington]

Aaron McDonald Cheeky reference to Empire.... nice! :P

[@ComanderScar]

I feel like that was a hidden Star Wars joke. Commentors: I love you James: I know *CARBONITE

[@jjtomecek1623]

#jamesfacerevealat1milsubs!!!

[@marhawkman303]

We've already seen him....

[@eleanorsmith7152]

For the first time in his life Mike didn't go for the racing game... and it turned out to be his undoing

[@LandOfZeldtir]

Eleanor Smith He should've went with Mario Kart or F-Zero!

[@shannonolivas9524]

You get to play on Theed? Well you know what they say... A FRIEND IN THEED IS A FRIEND INDEED! I'm so sorry.

[@nicholascross3557]

NaBOO!

[@The_Mandylorian]

Shannon Olivas I was looking for good puns and I found it in Alderaan places

[@thisistherevolt]

I'm going to get Onderon with my life.

[@ILike2PlayBass]

A friend with weed is better

[@gqphoenixclops3056]

Ellen can also fit in all of our hearts

[@interregnum_]

I stand with James! Unless Jane is in the room and disagrees, in which case that was clearly a typo and I stand with Jane!

[@scikaiju]

That look on Ellen's face during the Jango's head discussion

[@gwencranton299]

The Boba Fett thing is actually even creepier then they said. He's not really Jango's son, he's a clone as well, but while the other clones are modded to be obedient and age faster, Boba is a normal human clone. So when he kills other clones, he's killing basically brainwashed versions of himself.

[@elafimilo8199]

They're not brainwashed in the books. It's a big plot point. I'll be playing Republic Commando soon, so more info from that front to come.

[@egoshOOter14]

Random Clone Trooper: ''Boba, i'm your father! Eh, sorry. I meant i'm a clone of your father!'' Boba Fett: ''Noooooooo'' *Wrist Blaster sounds*

[@RegiLHJ]

Ellen's facial expressions when Mike and Andy are discussing Boba Fett childhood traumas, I crashed KZbin rewinding it so much!

[@caiholroyd178]

A surprise James! I love surprise James-es's.

[@jonbaxter2254]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one...

[@RijaMo]

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

[@TheNewAgeViking]

Cai Holroyd his insight, and commentary is always appreciated.

[@magentasound_]

*cries in grammar*

[@angrydrummergirl2648]

YES THIS. Say what you will about the prequels (I love certain things and hate... quite a few other things about them), but I 2000% love James and hearing him stand up for himself and what he loves on camera!! 🙌🏻

[@RandRWargaming]

Finished my A-Levels finally!!!! Thanks for the great videos Outsidextra :D

[@cavecrafters4053]

R&R Wargaming congrats

[@RandRWargaming]

Cave Crafters Thanks 😁

[@outsidextra]

Wooo! Now you can enjoy the summerrrr! (and thank you! ^-^)

[@RandRWargaming]

Outside Xtra I will!

[@amazig4957]

R&R Wargaming cool, I am doing mock exams at the moment, and everyone is just laughing at me, *get it ,mock*

[@guilhermebranco8572]

Luke: "I forgot to mention that Starfox maybe is oiled up" You guys are the best at cracking me up

[@A._is_for]

Boba Fett brings the playground expression "stop hitting yourself" to a whole new level

[@CaitlinRC]

Luke looks so stressed. Maybe he needs to have bed rest and play BOTW. Whilst we are at it, Ellen should relax playing KOA. Just saying.

[@jonbaxter2254]

#LetellenplayKOA!

[@HanabiraKage]

He's still suffering from BotW withdrawal.

[@Tigercup9]

You just the word whilst. Someone on KZbin just used the word whilst, instead of while, correctly. Respect.

[@coyoteartist]

Not Space! I thought it was the one place that was safe! Tim Curry lied to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's that bag. I need a moment.

[@Stelios300X]

Blue Coyote he never said its safe. Its just the one place not yet corrupted by capitalism.

[@Hellwyck]

You mean SPAYYYYYYYCE!

[@coyoteartist]

Yes. Yes I do.

[@coyoteartist]

True. Although one might infer that being free of said capitalism would as least make it a safe place against capitalistic space wars.

[@Metroyed]

Pun fails, Luke: "things are just on the UP, for us right now" (points down towards ground) These ceiling folk are always mixing up their directions.

[@audoldends6799]

CEILING FOLK

[@Tx72everywhere]

Lol

[@lathamsmith4171]

"Mash the keyboard until grenades happen." ~Luke Westaway, 2017

[@marlowphillips7543]

ellens terror is hilarious

[@THNWraith]

Agreed. That's why their video of Ellen ranking the various videogame spiders is probably my favourite You Tube video of all time.

[@hannesjakobsson765]

Original trilogy? ORIGINAL TRILOGY?!?!?!?!?! I will never forgive you for this Ellen

[@amazig4957]

hannes jacobsson me neither, back to the bag

[@Jambobist]

I sense a disturbance in the nerdosphere, someone, somewhere just mixed up the prequels and the original trilogy.

[@DocKlev007]

You were to bring balance to Outside Xtra, not leave it in darkness! #traitor

[@Monkeyshaman]

She meant part one two and three? the obviously superior trilogy with both a narrative arc and good battle choreography? you know where you get what they're shooting at even when they're in space?

[@Storyman09]

I'm young enough that the prequels were the originals for me. Saw Episode One first.

[@Sableagle]

2:25 "Forwards! Forwards to inevitable victory!" "Roger-roger." [walks into lamp-post]

[@g3n-t3chalpha71]

#LetellenplayKOA

[@phillipparkinson-shanley2031]

roughly around 9:30 ish you missed something rather important, Boba Fett is a clone of Jango Fett as well, but they never accelerated his ageing, so the clones, if Jango is his father, are in fact all his brothers.

[@thecastawaydc]

Alas, poor Jango. I knew him, Obi Wan

[@Scruffi]

A Mandalorian of infinite jest...

[@IMFREAKINOUT101]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Boba a clone or Jango Fett? Without the accelarated aging?

[@thewanderer5506]

Jacob Price my head hurts when i think about star wars lore

[@rickyvandusen1744]

Yes

[@guilhermebranco8572]

He was kind of his son or a clone he kept for himself but I don't remember details

[@thesussybaka7733]

He was a clone created per his specifics for him wich he treated as a son

[@EBOBalo]

yep. but not only was he not accelerated but no modification. the other clones were made to be obediant and such.

[@grapeapetape9132]

Honestly Luke and Ellen could make a small fortune writing those 'what superhero is your grandma based on your sandwich choice' type quizzes

[@Crimson_Rogue97]

I feel like during the show we see the true colours of the OX cast. Maybe sometimes a bit too closely, for example Luke and Andy's severed head chat.

[@danielwechter601]

That look of terror on Ellen's face. Priceless.

[@apfelbaum7402]

1:25 I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Star Wars nerds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

[@McJethroPovTee]

*"Everyone just has to die at the right moment to get their chance to actually play as the hero..."* - Ellen Rose, 2017 Suddenly, an amazing quote appeared!

[@geordanvest8378]

Luke: "I look even better out of focus" Me: "I too look better when you can't properly see my face."

[@Tukey]

You guys just make me happy. Thank you. please Never stop

[@DeadmanHopping]

R.I.P Ellen's nerd cred. Time of death July 1st, 2017, 1:27 When she climbed back out of that poster bag, it was like she had left a part of herself behind in it forever. We think it was her Star Wars knowledge. There will be a ceremonial wake tomorrow. Everyone will be playing Kingdoms of Amalur, while Ellen will be tied to a chair and watching the Star Wars movies. She will only be released once she has submitted a 14 page paper on the different orders the movies may be watched in..

[@garg0yl3]

It has the perfect number of likes... 69

[@avolvox]

8:45 In a star wars comic, Jango kills a rogue clone trooper and when the clone calls him brother, he replies by saying that the clone is not his brother. Also Boba is a clone.

[@melodysymphonystar]

I love James and I support his opinion! The prequels were actually not that bad, and if you want to know why, instead of a long rant, I'll direct you to CinemaWins! Also, for the mini SNES, Secret of Mana. I still play that game and it hasn't aged a day! It's an awesome RPG ^^

[@chipgw]

melodysymphonystar thumbs up for CinemaWins. He even got me to see the Anakin/Padme romance in a new light. It's still cringe-inducing, but at least it makes some sense...

[@mavvh1054]

I imagine Mike having an angry face and pointing when he told Luke to cut to the chase, like some kind of....Ace Attorney...... I NEED THE ART OF THAT. MIKE THE ACE ATTORNEY.

[@nicholascross3557]

Objection!

[@davidjames4890]

When Luke fell on the floor,Ellen looked like "DID HE DIE!? DID HE DIE!? Aw,he's still breathing."

[@jarbydnjksd]

The more and more I watch Show of the Week and Show of the Weekend, the more and more I feel like I'm actually sat in the studio behind the camera with the whole OxBunch. The atmosphere you're able to create, even through a video, is absolutely wonderful. You're the best, guys.

[@tanith6475]

Hang on, Ellen confused the prequels with the originals? Is she rising above her station? Is this referring to the oncoming takeover of the Oxbox empire by the Oxtra rebels? WAR IS COMING!

[@tanith6475]

By this I mean that Oxtra are the prequels and Ellen is putting them above Oxbox (the originals).

[@amazig4957]

Alex Clarke winter is coming!!!!!!!!

[@henry-ys8wp]

Alex Clarke rise above my station organise the information till we rise to the occasion of our new nation, sir!

[@logansmith7517]

laughingman123 Here comes the general!

[@henry-ys8wp]

Logan Smith riiissseee up

[@Hero-sd2ly]

I hope they continue with an Ellen werewolf trilogy... or something about Luke being a vampire.

[@Hellwyck]

Vampires suck.

[@Hero-sd2ly]

Hellwyck They already live in the Ceiling, the possibility is there.

[@paulwade5853]

Hey guys, thanks for cheering me up as always. it's been a rough day, actually it's been a rough year, but you guys always make me feel better. If I had friends, I wish they were just like you guys😊

[@lisquidsnake]

best part of my Saturday is waking up to find a SotW ready and waiting

[@patrikhjorth3291]

"...the original trilogy..." And that, dear viewers, is how you end up doing all your co-workers' dishes for a month, while wearing a bunny suit.

[@Kaiser8513]

Exactly what my coworkers did to me.

[@AliRizwanMasood]

"Fun videogames...." Ellen's Reaction is now an Oxtra classic moment

[@guyjackson1839]

1:26 Starting right there and then maybe 20 seconds after, this is how you can tell all of them are such good friends.

[@rollipolliguacomole]

Mike: "Such upper body strength; such action" Me: "He's the real life Doge..."

[@tylerheineman2393]

You better have a good reason for waking me up at 5 in the morning.

[@JimmyBasquiat]

The village is under attack! West Harbor is under attack!

[@tylerheineman2393]

JimmyBasquiat GOD DAMMIT PRESTON

[@bobsled3000]

Thank you James I also love 1-3 they give much depth and space politics which i love!!

[@SapphireShelle91]

You guys have so much fun on this show! It's really a joy to watch. I know that whenever I'm feeling down, I can watch an episode of Outside Xtra and I will immediately start smiling, so thanks for that :)

[@malcolmpeake8893]

I would be running backwards shouting, please don't kill me Rey, your cool. lol

[@wacope3841]

Of course Ellen fits into the bag, Isn't that how she got into to E3?

[@OK-zx6ze]

I like the pre-quals

[@flynnfred6775]

No just no

[@hankbud11]

Ellen's face while they were talking about clone troopers heads 😂😂😂

[@michaelsaul8450]

By far my favorite episode yet. Having everyone involved just made it feel like the ultimate team up movie. It's basically the OX equivalent of an Avengers movie.

[@amazig4957]

play six stack overwatch competitive with James, the ox crew and the oxtra crew.

[@midas_x2921]

Jane didnt make her case , she baked her case

[@coffeeaddict9605]

I love how concerned Ellen was with the whole decapitation conversation.

[@code.name.sasquatch]

Ellen's face!!...the whole "Bubba Fet keeping clone heads" thing and ELLEN'S FACE!!! So honest, so EPIC lol

[@deathman11jackd]

I agree with James. The prequels get way too much hate.

[@autochton]

And TFA is way overrated. James is my kind of guy.

[@rickyvandusen1744]

Ewww. BvS and Suicide Squad were great too. Also the sky is green and the grass is blue. 3rd best star wars movie isnt overrated.

[@solojones1138]

While I think TFA was better than any of the prequels, ROTS is better than ROTJ (with the exception of the Luke/Vader/Palpatine fight). And TPM needs editing and more maturity, but it isn't terrible... AOTC, though... that's an absolute mess of a film. It's very poorly constructed. But can't we all agree that Rogue One was better than TFA or the prequels... Yes?

[@autochton]

solojones1138 Rocks Fall Everyone Dies is not a trope that belongs in Star Wars.

[@solojones1138]

Gert Sønderby Why not? If they can kill thousands of Imperials at once in both ANH and ROTJ, why is it wrong to show the sacrifices made by the rebellion? I thought Rogue One actually made ANH even better, which was a hefty task. It gave the rebellion more weight.

[@bokunokintama5523]

I really wish there could at least be a show of the half way through the week to help keep us going until the beloved show of the weekend. Who agrees?

[@monicatruong1223]

watch show of the week I think it comes out on Wednesdays

[@lukerope1906]

James: "That's because they're AMAZING films" Luke: "James the commenters love you" James: "I know" Ellen: "Do you want that to be thwarted?" This is for James. No need to worry, we still love you!

[@Shirgene]

The slowdown of Ellen's giggle is a thing of nightmares

[@jakehuffman2816]

I love how often their clothes change since they didn't film it all at once

[@rkbrillant5265]

Im also eating cookies while watching this... Mmmm cookies baked with lies.

[@nickm-s]

I'm suprised Jane didn't pull rank in order to win. "Ellen, you know as Empress of the studio (or world. Dream big Jane), you really should pick me as the winner". And what a kind Empress, bring the people cookies.

[@krisvlaskamp5418]

I don't think I have ever laughed this hard looking at a screen, hope my neighbours slept through that.

[@DoovieMIK]

Likes the Prequels, thinks The Force Awakens is a bit rubbish, James is my actual favourite now

[@nickcarter3419]

ME AND YOU JAMES. ME AND YOU BUDDY. I love the prequels (apart from Clones...). SPACE POLITICS FTW. Also Maul vs Qui Gonn + Obi Wan is the best Lightsaber battle, period.

[@hawkinshutson2863]

I love the politics myself. But Maul/Jin/Kenobi is second to Kenobi/Skywalker for me. Except for that stupid part of them on the table missing each other all synchronized.

[@guyjackson1839]

11:00 All I can say is this is wholesome and adorable

[@Colossus1921]

Two minutes into the video and I'm already laughing my ass off.

[@bensowerby9545]

have they still not changed the intro (please don't I love it)

[@DauntlessPanda1986]

WiseMonkeyBen ii

[@trismugistus]

Wait a minute - did Ellen just "do an Ellen" on the whole crew? I mean, the right answer was not one of the options.

[@FanDanGo86]

You had me at the poster bag haha

[@2013Fangirl]

The chemistry of this show is so wonderful! First, a wild James appears from the tall grass, then you come across a bickering of the Luke and Andyosaurs', and now everyone wants to earn brownie points with Master Chief Ellen. What more could you want?!

[@TowkayCC]

squid notification

[@normalguy3224]

star wars comando didn't suck and it was a clone wars game

[@natexx166]

I love seeing Ellen's reactions. She's so animated in the best possible ways. Plus dimples in general make my heart melt.

[@lukahprimo]

Ellen's face when you guys talked about Clone decapitation, epic

[@toxaginda1426]

Now I love James even more. People so love to hate the prequel trilogy, but they aren't as bad as everyone tries to paint them. They are very different from the original trilogy, there are some cringy moments, but there are a lot of epic ones as well. And I don't understand people saying all the political stuff is boring - I think all the intrigues and intricacies work really well to show the power behind Palpatine.

[@Ammdar]

Revenge of the Sith is one of my favorite movies. Say what you want... but that moment in the theater when the profile of the mask fills the entire screen and you hear that first breath. It was awesome.

[@xXI5tr1k3rIXx]

The prequels may have been a bit mad with the story but pretty sure we can agree they had the best fights especially the one between anakin and obi wan was the best in the series or maybe I'm alone in this. Please don't hate me lol

[@lathyrusloon]

Joseph Sanchez but...all they did was twirl their light up batons and jump around. They even pretty obviously aim for eachother's lightsaber, even when there is an an equally obvious opening to take advantage of. It made the light sabers look less like scifi-fantasy weapons and more like toys.

[@alexanderk.6869]

Oh man, I’m a year late, but the Yoda vs Dooku fight is the BEST part of Attack of the Clones.

[@OneMo1]

all of my entertainment comes from youtube, but you guys are the only channel that sincerely makes me laugh out loud.

[@worldsboss]

Even funnier than the usual Show of the Weekends! Brilliant once again guys.

[@tristanpeterson8169]

HOW DARE YOU ELLEN!!!!!! but frankly I enjoyed the prequel trilogy

[@IDKWhatIsEvenHappening]

YOU WERE MY BROTHER, JAMES. I LOVED YOU.

[@HaloDieHard]

lol the panic on Ellen's face when she calls the prequels originals 🤣🤣

[@happywaterstudios6526]

Ellen's face when Luke falls😂

[@sneakyturtle5498]

Yup, pretty sure that's how that works.

[@franktieck2305]

James is right. The prequels are good.

[@iamveryrudesorry353]

blasphememy

[@QuarrelsomeLocalOaf]

They're rough and coarse and irritating tbh

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

The special effects are revolutionary and they're by no means bad films. Anyone who says they are, hasn't seen enough movies.

[@TheFrenkenator]

I am very rude sorry Well from my perspective the original trilogy is bad

[@DeckardRed]

Phantom Menace is alright, the other two are pretty poor

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

That intro was the most adorable Ellen moment ever.

[@brandman965]

Boba Fett is also a clone of Jango. He's not shooting clones of his dad, he's shooting his brothers! :O

[@reececowell6642]

No I am WAAAAZ!

[@dubbingsync]

I do appreciate James' honesty... he's entitled to his opinion... even when they are against the right one.

[@Mianless]

I love you guys. You make every Saturday so much better

[@jackwinter5421]

It took me 12:55 to notice Luke's shirt, and now I'm in love!

[@DungeonBricks]

We need a third o/x girl to even the teams. So we can have girls vs boys in cristmas

[@metalhammer303]

what??? confusing the prequals with the original trilogy??? Ellen that's some serious HERESY!! grrrrr 😂😂

[@amazig4957]

Anthony Price the comments are riping her over it though

[@metalhammer303]

ama zig Heresy I say! HERESY! 😂😂

[@thenodgod1735]

It's blasphemy! It's MADNESS!

This was an episode to remember. So good, I put it in my Favorites playlist. Keep doing what you're doing OX Crew, you're my favorites. #Preshmems
