In one of the many incarnations of the numerous versions of the Fan Film The Series episode 1 script, there was a sequence of shots where my character was to be research some odd extend universe material about the original trilogy. The ideas were a shot of reading “Splinter in the minds eye”, playing the original Star Wars arcade game, spinning the wheels on a Star Wars slot machine, and paging through the read-a-long book “Planet of the Hoojibs.” I had the Arcade game, I was in Vegas 2000 times that years so I got a couple shots at the slot machine, and I have a copy of Splinter floating around somewhere, but the one thing I was missing was “Planet of the Hoojibs”. Well, thanks to eBay, I found a copy for 99 cents. I figured it was too cheap to pass up and even if I didn’t use it I’d have an interesting collectable that maybe worth $1.50 in 10 years or so. So I bought it. Ultimately that scene never made it in the final re-writes of the scripts we filmed for Episode 1 (all 4 versions), so it never got to be experienced in all it’s glory. It’s time to rectify that. So, here is “Star Wars, Planet of the Hoojibs” in all its glory. Enjoy this action packed story, that’s still better than the prequel storylines:

“Plif, I think I love you.” WTF? Han is frozen in Carbonite for a few weeks and she’s already falling in love with a muppet?
