The Best April Fools’ Gag this Year

If you missed it the other day, you must see this trailer for Fury of Maul on Netflix. Really, if you weren’t already a Netflix lover, would this not make you subscribe immediately?

“Happy April Fools’ Day! Darth Maul makes his live-action series debut on Netflix! A mysterious, dark power is butchering those on both the light and dark side of the Force.”

Seriously, this looks awesome. If you didn’t know already, it was just an April Fool’s joke from IGN and that’s really too bad because it would make a great series. Star Wars fans everywhere can cry like that poor little boy who’s dad let him watch not knowing it was prank. May we all go to our beds and bawl our eyes out because this will never come to be. Honestly, April Fool’s pranks are the worst, are they not?

I can definitely say that this went off much better than Google’s big April Fool’s prank this year. Sure, this was disappointing but it was at least entertaining. And who knows, maybe it will give someone some good fodder for a future Star Wars project while the Google minion mishap just got people angry (and fired apparently.)

Did you experience any really awesome April Fools’ pranks this year? Get any good pranks in on someone you know?
