Bing AI writes the synopsis for Star Fox: Rogue Squadron

One of our favorite old-school Nintendo franchises is Star Fox - a property that feels all but forgotten these days. With the emergence of Bing's AI feature, we figured this was the perfect opportunity to resurrect Fox McCloud and his scrappy crew of fighter pilots. But we wanted to up the ante a little bit. We asked our AI bestie to write us the synopsis of a movie where Star Fox joined forces with a fleet of Star Wars X-wings. If we got the chance to start with a clean slate and just play in the proverbial sandbox, this could be one of the coolest movies of all time. For the first time ever, we present the movie crossover of a lifetime: Star Fox: Rogue Squadron.

Editor's note: We used brackets to fix a couple discrepancies between villain names and a few other minor things that didn't affect the overall meaning of the story.

Here is a possible synopsis of a movie crossover with Star Fox and an X-wing squadron from Star Wars:

**Star Fox: Rogue Squadron**

In a galaxy far, far away, a new threat emerges from the shadows of the Empire. A mysterious faction known as the Black Sun has stolen a prototype superweapon capable of destroying entire planets. The Rebel Alliance, desperate to stop them, sends a team of elite pilots to infiltrate their base and sabotage the weapon. Among them is Fox McCloud, the leader of the legendary Star Fox team, who has joined forces with the rebels after his home planet of Corneria was attacked by the Black Sun.

However, the mission goes awry when they encounter a deadly trap set by the Black Sun's leader, Prince Xizor, a ruthless crime lord with a personal vendetta against Fox. Xizor has also hired the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett to hunt down and capture Fox, who holds a secret that could change the fate of the galaxy. Now, Fox and his allies must fight their way through hordes of enemies, including stormtroopers, TIE fighters, and Star Wolf, Fox's rival team of mercenaries. Along the way, they will discover shocking truths about their pasts, their enemies, and themselves.

Will Fox and his friends be able to stop the Black Sun and save the galaxy? Or will they fall victim to Xizor's sinister plot and Boba Fett's relentless pursuit? Find out in Star Fox: Rogue Squadron, the ultimate crossover adventure that combines the best of both worlds!

What would a Nintendo movie be without some Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans? And what wouldn't make us more nostalgic than some cool cameos? We asked AI if any such things would be in store for us.

Yes, there are a few [Nintendo] cameos and easter eggs in the movie. For example:

• In one scene, Fox and his team visit a bar on the planet Zoness, where they meet a mysterious figure who gives them a tip about [the Black Sun's] secret base. The figure is revealed to be James McCloud, Fox's father, who survived Andross' attack and went into hiding. He tells Fox that he is proud of him and gives him his signature sunglasses before disappearing.
• In another scene, Fox and his team encounter a giant robot called the Great Fox, which is controlled by ROB 64, a loyal robot who serve[d] as Star Fox's navigator and mechanic. The Great Fox helps Star Fox by providing them with supplies, weapons, and backup. The Great Fox and ROB 64 are based on the Star Fox team's mothership and assistant from the games.
• In the final [sequence], after Star Fox defeats [the Black Sun] and returns to Corneria, they are greeted by a huge crowd of cheering citizens. Among them are several characters from other Nintendo games, such as Mario, Link, Samus, Kirby, Pikachu, and Donkey Kong. They all congratulate the Star Fox team and thank them for saving the galaxy.

There are also some Star Wars cameos and easter eggs. For example:

• In one scene, Star Fox and the X-wing squadron are attacked by a group of TIE fighters led by Darth Vader. They manage to escape by flying into a nearby asteroid field, where they encounter a giant space worm. The space worm is a reference to the one from The Empire Strikes Back, where Han Solo and his friends hid inside it.
• In another scene, Star Fox and the X-wing squadron visit a hidden rebel base on the planet Hoth, where they meet Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO. They also see some familiar vehicles and creatures, such as snowspeeders, tauntauns, and wampas. The rebel base and Hoth are based on the ones from The Empire Strikes Back, where the rebels fought against the Empire.
• In the final [sequence], after Star Fox and the X-wing squadron destroy the Black Sun's superweapon, they return to the rebel base on Yavin 4, where they are awarded medals by Princess Leia. They also see some familiar faces, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn. They are all Force ghosts who appear to congratulate them and thank them for their bravery. The medal ceremony and the Force ghosts are based on the ones from A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, where the heroes celebrated their victory over the Empire.

Now, if that doesn't have you jonesing for some Star Fox, we don't know what will. And with Patty Jenkins' real-life Rogue Squadron movie getting canned recently, this would be a great opportunity to showcase some good old-fashioned Star Wars dog fights. What do you think? Is this a movie you could get behind? Let us know in the comments below, follow us on Facebook (here and here), or try to find us on Facebook.
