Is this one sponsor party too many? I think so! Let's take a look why.

Once again, before I start, I would like to say, I dont care if CP is advertising companies. As long as great quality is in the party.

• Decorations - 0/5 - There were no decorations. Except some construction space thing at the Dock. And while you may say: look at the party rooms, aren't they decorated? You counted them in the past. I am not counting them as they do not take place on Club Penguin Island. The island was terrible.
• Storyline - 3/5 - It was great, but it was also based off of the movie. While it is a takeover, I would have expected SOMETHING different...
• Party Rooms and Transformations - 5/5 - OK, well the party rooms were great! Not gonna lie, I actually felt like I was in the movie!
• Music - 5/5 - I love Star Wars music. Just LOVE IT. Especially the Cantina Band.
• Free Items and Catalogs - 4/5 - The catalogs and free items are great, but not perfect. Purple Lightsaber? Stormtrooper Costume? That silver version of C-3PO? Well, it was still good.
• Quest - 5/5 - Well, this party is quest only. And the quest is good. Hopefully, they give a DIFFERENT task every week, though.
• Other (More Minor) Details - 2/5 - Well, there is nothing to do in this category. Meet Herbert. Where is Princess Cadence and Obi-wan Sensei? Also, emotes are meh. Also, they added music to the Night Club, but no decorations.

Anyways, this is definitely one takeover too many. At first I hated the idea. I watched the movie, and I got excited. And then, there is NOTHING. This isn't a party. This is a quest. So, we will remember July 2013 as the month that never had a party. I mean, it would have been OK if they would have done more, included DECORATIONS ON CP, and stuff. Anyways, my total comes to 25/35, which is equivalent to 3.4/5, which rounds down to 3. The quest practically saved this so called 'quest'. Had the quest not have been there, this party would have deserved a 1. Partnership Parties are hard to please people, so either work harder and make people proud or simply STOP THEM. You aren't even making money off of them, CP!

Boring ad party...

By Penstubal

To be honest, this party was a disgrace.

Pros:

• Explore different planets. That's pretty much it.
• Battle Storm Troopers

Cons:

• Non Members hardly get anything.
• Only 1 room on the CP island is decorated (Dock).
• You have to wait a week to explore a new planet. Can't wait that long!
• First time town isn't decorated (WOAAAH)

SUPER EPIC PARTY! Finally, I've been waiting all these long years for a Star Wars Party, and here it is! Pros

• It's a Star Wars Takeover. What else can I say?
• The Millennium Falcon is a pretty sweet deal!
• Tatooine looks like it does in the movies!
• There's another quest, but at least it's a GOOD one!
• This is probably CP most violent party, with all the shooting and such.
• The cantina is cool!
• Princess Cadence, Obi Wan Sensei, R2-D2 puffle, it's all fantastic!

Cons

• Uhhhh... hmmmmm... let's see... nothing.

LET ME SAY THIS IS AN EPIC PARTY! Until next time, agents.

I only review parties if they deserve to be reviewed. And this one does.

Pros

• Everyone knew this was coming soon after the Disney/Lucasfilm buyout. And I'm happy it did.
• The lightsaber duels! Once you get the hang of it, it is easy, and the items you get from winning are spectacular.
• THE ROOMS. They are all so fun and cool! I feel like I am in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. From the Trash Compactor to the Sand Crawler, movie accurate details are everywhere. I even spotted Buoy #4. Try and find it!
• THE COSTUMES. We finally get a lightsaber, and can use them, too. Almost every character from Episode IV is present! Such amazing detail in the costumes.

Cons

• Apparently, Darth Herbert was a great Jedi who was apprentice to Obi-Wan Sensei. Then he fell to the Dark Side. WAT.
• The island isn't decorated, except for the Dock (to board the Millenium Falcon). Really, Club Penguin? I guess it was because the Rebel Alliance didn't want Club Penguin to attract anymore attention. "Darth Herbert is gonna destroy it anyway. Why decorate it?" Oh well.

The pros really outway the cons. The storyline is probably non-canon anyway, and the large amount of detailed and fun party rooms make up for the fact that the island isn't decorated.

Great job once again, Club Penguin. I think I've found my new favorite party.

I admit this party turned out better than I expected, better than Monsters University. First of all you can battle using light sabers which is pretty cool. Next, I love exploring other planets... its just... too long of a wait for the Death Egg. Battling storm troopers is pretty cool too. Again, this party came out way better than expected. I'll update this review when Death Star comes out.

The party is okay, but honestly it was really underwhelming.

Pros

• DARTH HERBERRRRRRRRRRT
• Cool costumes and lightsabers
• Finally a new puffle hat
• AMAZING music

Cons

• Wait a whole week to explore a new set of small, confusing to navigate rooms
• By the advertisements for the party, it would've been nice if Cadence, Sensei, and Jet Pack Guy visited as well with costumes
• Besides the Dock, the island isn't even decorated! I was hoping we'd get an AWESOME space-like sky and the island would be moderately decorated
• The Stormtrooper mini-game is dull and repetitive and next to impossible on the bonus level
• I have no clue how you play the Jedi duel, how does it work? All they tell you is to click on a button to duel with other Jedis

In my opinion they put more work into the advertisements rather than the party itself. Can the party redeem itself with the Death Star and Yavin 4? We'll see! I'll be updating this review as the party continues.

Ha, GAAAYYYYYYY!!!! I'm still waiting for a Touhou party.

This is the party to bring back people who got bored of Club Penguin's parties.

Now I read other reviews, and I am beginning to wonder what all of you think. 2012 was what I considered CP's WORST year of parties. It was literally a disgrace. I started CP in December 2007, but I enjoyed other years than 2012. This year was mixed. It had good IDEAS, but the execution was poor or ok. My favorite ad party had to be this years Marvel Takeover. Still the only problem with it is how IT BARELY HAD ANY MARVEL. That was my complaint of the first, party. Tony Stark's mansion, and the costumes does not count. It could have been called Super Hero Party WITH MARVEL COSTUMES! Now CP is bringing out a HUGE franchise. Will they suceed?

-Decorations 8.5/10 My gosh, this is one of the best decorated parties. It makes a great roleplaying environment It blends masterful and iconic scenes to CP. I feel this is one of the best ad parties they did that actually weren't just a random party slapped with the ad. We haven't even seen all the rooms, and the party looks good!. -Music 9/10 What can you literally expect? Star Wars music. Nuff said. -Quest 8/10 Literally the best quest they literally had. AND DON'T SAY OPERATION BLACKOUT CAUSE IT STUNK. Slide puzzles.... So far it is one of the longer ones. The minigame is surprisingly a good one. It had a nice difficulty (nothing to hard), and the people who say the bonus level is hard have never played a real game. -_- My real problem is what I will get into later. The Jedi quest isn't amazing, but way better then the director game. -Costumes:

-Cons

-Non Member Support I am a member. WHICH I AM GLAD TO BE. This party so far just slaps them in the face. Now when CP started making catalogs, and stuff for them I thought, hey they are giving them support. And they did. This party though, nope. The Jedi Quest is completely UNPLAYABLE. Nonmembers only get band member items. And they can only get a helmet (Stormtrooper) from Tatoonie. Sad. -Wait Now I know why they do this. I HATED THIS IN LITERALLY ALL THE PARTIES THIS HAPPENED TO. Wait 24 hours. WHY!?!?!??!?! They do this to make you play the game more. I get it. But 1 week IS INSANE. I will be nice to CP though because I understand this is a big party. Tatooine is HUGE for 1 party already. I wish it was 3-5 days, not 7 though. -Story I just don't feel it. I know it follows the story, but I wished they did more. More cutscenes. Not that I like them that much though (Operation Blackout....... Oh gosh).

Things I like to address:

CP itself: All of you are complaining it isn't decorated. WHAT COULD THEY ADD? I understand why they didn't mess with it. They can't do anything. Lots of parties like the Underwater Expedition (Worse than Operation Blackout) didn't really decorate... They are staying to the lore, and not messing up the story. I understand. Plus they are adding like 12 new rooms, so isn't that enough?

Verdict: Club Penguin had crappy parties. This isn't on of them. It blends in what ads should have. That is a good quest to go along. I am glad they didn't do a click this and then that and you win. Though they completely ignored non members, and I wish there was more adventure. I wished they used Operation Hibernation style more (Look it up. That is how quests should be. NO click this and wait 24 hours stuff) This is a GOOD party. It harkens back to some of the good parties.

8.3/10 Good. Excels in presentation, and gameplay. Lacks more story elements and connectivity to all players. Isn't too innovative.
