Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars

[Sotiris]

An epic ode to Star Wars from the creators of Disney’s animated comedy “Phineas and Ferb” is in production — the one hour event episode will premiere next year on Disney Channel and Disney XD. It places the characters of “Phineas and Ferb” in the same space and time as the world of Star Wars, all with the brilliant comedic perspective that has made the global hit “Phineas and Ferb” the #1 animated TV series for Kids 6-11 in primetime and Tweens across total day for the past five years.

The announcement was made today by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, creators and executive producers of “Phineas and Ferb” and ardent Star Wars fans, at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
Povenmire said, “May The ‘Ferb’ Be With You and with all of us who for decades have dreamt of a chance to work with the great characters and stories of Star Wars.”

The event episode’s story begins a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away – in summer. 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 but 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 has a Stormtrooper-like intent on “busting rebels” and chases Phineas and Ferb across the galaxy in hopes of retrieving the Death Star plans. Meanwhile, back on the Death Star, 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.

The voice cast includes: Vincent Martella as Phineas Flynn, Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Ferb Fletcher, Caroline Rhea as mom Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Richard O’Brien as dad Lawrence Fletcher, Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus, Alyson Stoner as Isabella, Maulik Pancholy as Baljeet, Bobby Gaylor as Buford, Jeff “Swampy” Marsh as Major Monogram and Emmy Award-winning Dan Povenmire as Darth Enshmirtz. “Phineas and Ferb” is a production of Disney Television Animation.

Interesting. I guess it makes sense with Disney now owning Lucasfilm.

[Sotiris]

It looks like this crossover was planned for a while and no one noticed.

In the meantime, Povenmire also has his eyes on another franchise recently acquired by Disney: Lucasfilm and Star Wars. "When I saw that news break, I drew a picture of Doofenshmirtz as Darth Vader and texted it to the head of Disney TV animation and wrote, 'I smell crossover!'"

I get the feeling this is gonna be like Tom and Jerry & the Wizard of Oz; a familiar story told from a different character's perspective.

I think you just hit the nail on the head.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I'm gonna keep an open mind about this.

As a huge fan of Phineas and Ferb and an even bigger fan of Star Wars, this sounds totally awesome!

[HarryCanyon]

I was pleasantly surprised by the Marvel crossover and this parody of Star Wars with the characters interacting with each other will be as cool.

Now how about Indiana Jones/Phineas and Ferb and Phineas and Ferb meet The Muppets next?

[thedisneyspirit]

I don't get the appeal of Phineas and Ferb.

But it makes money so good for the Mouse, I guess.

Have yet to see the Marvel crossover, but I wonder how many SW fans are pissed off at this news.

What's there to be pissed off about? Phineas and Ferb is an incredibly clever well-written show. Also it's like this crossover is something that anybody would be forced to watch nor should affect their previous enjoyment of Star Wars.

I don't watch Phineas and Ferb, but my nephews were in town and wanted to watch the Marvel crossover. I loved it! Yes it was irreverent, but that montage scene where Doofenschmirtz and the villains are walking around town "being bad" was so funny.

You and your logical thinking and common sense. Fans online seem to get pissed over anything. Let them. I think that this will be fun!

Yes definitely, just imagine if Perry was a parody of Yoda, now that would be something.
