And he was fairly indistinguishable from the ‘masters’ in the other episodes. The droids’ ‘master’ is someone called Mungo Baobab and he was also in the series but only in the same episodes as Admiral Screed. In terms of characters, obviously C3PO and R2D2 are in it, and there are also some Stormtroopers and an imperial officer called Admiral Screed, who was also in some of the episodes of the TV show, but they were set chronologically after this and in any case he didn’t do much in those and he doesn’t do much in this.
Which is a bonus because although the series was a perfectly acceptable 80s cartoon, it hasn’t stood the test of time and you’ve got better things to do than watch that.īut you’ve also got better things to do than watch ‘The Great Heep’. You don’t really need to have seen the preceding series to be able to watch this. But what little plot I could discern was largely uninspiring stuff and to be honest, it didn’t make a massive amount of sense. But if you do intend to watch this and you’re worried that plot details will ruin it for you then I may reveal some of those in the ensuing text. It would be easy enough to have viewed this as just an extended episode of the aforementioned show, which I wrote about yesterday, as it seems to take place between episodes 9 & 10 of that show.īut it was released separately from the series and it is a little different in some respects.Įven if all I’m going to tell you is that it wasn’t worth the 50 minutes of my life that I spent watching it last night and it definitely wouldn’t be worth you watching it either.īut before we get to that, I should issue a spoiler alert.
A feature length special of an already cancelled TV show, which very few people actually watched.
‘The Great Heep’ is a bizarre entry into the Star Wars ‘back catalogue’.
