8 Best Fake Outs in Star Wars History
“Liar, liar, Owen and Beru on fire!” Star Wars has a long history of deception. Join us as we unveil our very first “Fisticle”, dedicated to — what else — our favorite fake-outs from a galaxy far, far away…
WARNING: SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP.
- “From a certain point of – GTFO!”
Now ain’t that some bullshit. I wonder who was the bigger liar… Ben or Obi-Wan? That whole double identity nonsense should have clued us in on the fibs this guy would tell. Then again, Luke was about as clueless as it gets.
- Padme, Padyou, Padeveryone!
One wooden Natalie Portman wasn’t enough. Our girl queen felt the need to have more lookalike decoys then the entire clone army. I get one or two Padme’s but an entire brigade, with one of them being a future pirate lady, talk about overkill. In hindsight, I wish they would have accidentally killed the real one, and left Keira Knightley in place as Padme…
- You’ve Been Bouschh’d!
“He’s holding a thermal detonator!!!” Who knew that petite, pint-sized bounty hunter with the high-pitched bitch voice was a woman! And a feisty princess at that!?
- Luke Planking Like a Boss
“Hey Jabba, I’m totally going to do a triple lutz into the sarlacc…. but not before signaling to R2 to toss my lightsaber at me and waggling my way through your troops, while my sister chokes you fat ass.”
- Boba Fett Rockin’ Out
Boba’s classic “Now you see me, now you don’t” bit of tailgating the Millennium Falcon cemented him as a badass who could out-scoundrel the most audacious of bounties.
- Senator Sheev Palpatine is totally Darth Sidious!
This superzealous politician managed to pull the wool over the eyes of the entire universe. He even duped the entire Jedi Council… and that burn-your-own face… that is some commitment. Here’s to you, Sheeeeevus, you Evil Geeeeenius.
- “Dude, I’m your Dad!”
Only the greatest WHAT THE FAKE in cinema history.
- We lied. There are only 7. C’mon… lists of 7 rule!
