Space Face

Space Face is the first "eddisode" of Eddsworld: Legacy, with Part 1 being the last piece of animated material that Edd Gould had worked on before his passing.

Part 1 was released on YouTube on June 2, 2012, and on Newgrounds on June 7. Part 2 was released on YouTube on November 26. A complete version of Space Face combining both parts into one video was uploaded to deviantART on January 2, 2013.

Plot
Part one begins with Edd handling the controls of a ship, which is heading directly towards Earth. Edd yells to Tom to get the ship's engine working, but Tom is shown lying unconscious on a control panel with Matt yelling that he is down. Edd is unsure what to do, as he and Matt go hurtling towards Earth. Matt yells his trademark "Not the face!" line as they head toward their doom, and the opening plays before we see what happens next.

Ten hours before the crisis in space, Edd, holding a glass of Cola, and Tom, holding a glass of Smirnoff, watch Matt mow the lawn intently, in the hopes that he'll do something stupid. He suddenly disappears, and the next thing Edd knows, Tom vanishes too. He looks up in the sky to find an alien spacecraft hovering above his house. Edd then gets whisked instantly into the inside of a giant pod. As he regains his bearings, Matt presses his face against the glass, yelling and completely freaking out, saying an alien species abducted them and that they may eat their brains and he's too pretty to die when he gets zapped by a weapon from Tom, who thanks the alien for giving it to them. The alien reveals himself to be Commander Bai, and it turns out he is incredibly friendly; he even gives Edd and the others a tour of his ship.

Commander Bai shows them his storage room, which is full of several pieces of advanced technology, such as a Normalizer gun, which makes Tom's eyes normal after Edd fires it, and a laser gun, which burns off Tom's eyes once again, to his frustration. As he screams in pain (or from the realization that his eyes are gone again), Commander Bai leads them to a new room.

Commander Bai shows the gang the room of desire, which is a special, dreamy-like white room that shows people the things they desire the most. Many copies of Matt then appear, all complimenting one another, which he states to be "beautiful." Edd's desire is apparently art, and he starts making creations, which come to life. He draws a butterfly and then a girl, which turned out bad. He draws a pair of prank glasses with a moustache, to disguise himself so the girl thinks that he is someone else and walks away. Edd then sees Tom before a Christmas tree and presents, and Edd thinks his desire is to celebrate Christmas, but it turns out his desire is to once again destroy Christmas. He pours gas around the tree and lights it on fire, to Edd's disappointment. Still in the room of desire, we see a slightly sad looking Commander Bai. Matt looks at a hologram of Commander Bai's home planet (which strongly resembles Earth) asking him what it is in which Commander Bai replies "Home... let's move on." This scene was the last scene fully animated by Edd Gould before he passed away.

Eventually, Edd and the others learn of the aliens and their lifestyle, and how they got in space. The alien's spacecraft energy stems off their good looks, but over the years, as they became older and more likely to drink alien booze, they became fatter and less attractive, losing energy in the process. They've been stuck in the vast galaxy for years, and that is how they became what they are today that now the aliens are fat, finding a way to get back home. Paul ter Voorde started animating during this scene.

Edd wonders what that has to do with them, and Tom shows him out the window of the ship, where the backyard of Edd's house is shown, where Matt did do something stupid after all, as he formed his face out of the lawn's grass, Edd and Tom frown as they look at the face, which likely attracted the attention of the aliens.

In Part two, Commander Bai then tells Edd and Tom that Matt's portrait in the grass (the "vanity beacon" as they call it) was strong enough to reach them, so now they believe that Matt is the key to getting them home. After Matt zaps Edd with a voice changer, he stops to admire his work. The vanity drive soon regains its power due to his admiration of himself, but Matt becomes so infatuated with himself that it overloads the ship and launches the crew into the deepest, darkest corner of space.

Once the power has subsided, Commander Bai is mad with the three and takes Edd, Matt, and Tom on the 'final part of the tour' to the garbage disposal bay where he reveals that he and his crew are going to eject them out of the ship. However, Commander Bai and his crew members accidentally lock themselves inside the disposal unit and are ejected into space, leaving Edd and the gang to take the ship on a joyride.

After their fun is done, Edd, noticing he's out of Cola, decides that it's time for them to go home, to Tom and Matt's disappointment. While trying to figure out the controls, the ship loses the last of its power and begins careening towards Earth. Edd screams to do something and Matt and Tom try to find a button to stop the ship. Edd finds a taser-like rod and tells Matt to "try using this." Matt tries to ask Tom if he knows what it's for, but electrocutes Tom and causes him to be knocked unconscious. This leads back to what happened at the beginning of Space Face Part 1, Matt cries out for the protection of his face, which gives the ship enough power for Edd to pull the brakes and stop the ship from crashing.

The gang hangs out inside the ship to look back at their adventure. Edd points out that Tom has been quiet for some of the time and Tom says that "he's very drunk." He compliments Matt saying he's "alright", and Matt becomes so overjoyed by this comment the ship overloads again and explodes, leaving a massive blast crater in Edd's backyard.

Development
A script-reading of part one was performed at the London MCM Expo on May 26, 2012.

Space Face was supposed to be a collaborative video with guest animators Chris O'Neill (OneyNG), Zach Hadel (psychicpebbles), Harry Partridge (HappyHarry), Arin Hanson (Egoraptor), and Yotam Perel (LazyMuffin). Tom figured that this would've taken months of completion, so the entire project was handed to Paul ter Voorde to animate.

Trivia

 * In one of his Vokle videos, Edd revealed that he was working on a space-themed eddisode, but he couldn't decide whether to call it Astronuts or Lunatics. Edd revealed in a latter Vokle video that when he decided to call it Space Face, a number of people disliked the decided name, but he kept it anyway.
 * Paul ter Voorde actually animated one part of the animation before he took the role of animating the whole episode after Edd died, in the part where in the storage room, just after Tom gets hit with the laser gun, Commander Bai says "Okay, let's go", if you look closely the eyes and hands change in style, the movement in the hands becomes smoother and get drawn on how Paul ter Voorde normally draws his hands, the eye gets rounder and has a smooth lininig, if this style seems familiar it's because it's Paul ter Voorde's style that it's used here that is used later on the episode.
 * Paul ter Voorde was called in to finish the final few seconds of Part 1, as well as the entirety of Part 2 (and to become the show's new overall lead animator). Tim Hautekiet was cast as the new voice of Edd.
 * Eduardo, Mark and Jon make their third overall appearances in this eddisode (the first two being Hammer & Fail Parts 1 and 2).
 * B-Monster makes a cameo in Edd's house fence.
 * The title Space Face is a parody of the video game Space Ace.
 * When Matt zaps Edd with a voice changer, he starts making dial-up computer sound effects and comical faces, referencing the unreleased Eddsworld short Dial-Up.
 * The transition from Edd's animation to Paul Ter Voorde is done with a subtle tribute to Edd: when the group arrives on the bridge, Edd, Tom and Matt are each illuminated by an overhead light. Edd's light goes out, signalling the end of his final animation for the series. As a way of handing the animation reins off, an alien with Paul's signature eyebrows passes in the foreground as this happens.
 * The idea of voice-changing Edd was thought up by Edd Gould, before he died.
 * This is the second film to have Tom with eyes. For a short time.

Part 1

 * Paul holding a laser and a dead Hellucard holding a sign saying "Ey Head" can be seen in spacesuits during the opening credits, also revealing Hellucard as Canadian.
 * After the title sequence, Tom's trousers are dark blue but change to black at 1:04.
 * When Edd sees the spaceship, bear traps can be seen on the roof.
 * In the storage room, there are many references to other media, such as:
 * The Portal Gun and Companion Cube from Portal and Portal 2.
 * The heads of C-3PO and R2-D2 along with Han Solo's costume and pistol from Star Wars.
 * The head of a Dalek, the Tenth Doctor's hand, and the Ninth and Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdrivers from Doctor Who
 * The Ark of the Covenant from the Indiana Jones
 * The book "How to Cook for Forty Humans" from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror I: Hungry Are the Damned
 * The Cooker that lives on the moon from Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out
 * A red uniform with a hole burnt through it from Star Trek
 * A spacesuit, Holly Hop Drive and a Tension Sheet from Red Dwarf
 * A picture frame with "Klaatu Verata Nikto" written on it from The Evil Dead series, and is also similar to the letters on Tord's grave in Zombeh Attack 2 (the original said "Klaatu Barrata Niktu")
 * A pile of Kryptonite from Superman
 * The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the book with the words "Don't Panic!" written on its cover)
 * The head of Twiki from Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century
 * An identity disc from Tron
 * A predator mask from the movies Predator, Predator 2, Predators, AVP and AVP: Requiem.
 * A Magic 8-ball
 * A sign saying Section 51, parodying Area 51
 * A basketball, which may be referencing the 1996 movie Space Jam.
 * A Tomee Bear
 * A box of Moon Boots
 * A Ghostbusters jumpsuit
 * During the flashback, a cat in a space suit is seen out the window, referencing the space cats from MovieMakers.
 * On the Newgrounds version, the "10 Hours Earlier" title at the beginning doesn't appear.

Part 2

 * In the garbage disposal unit, a broken down WALL-E from the Disney-Pixar film of the same name, the head of Bender from Futurama and a very badly drawn picture of Paul can be seen as well (a joke that originated from a fan-posted Paul drawing on deviantART). The Bender head could be referencing the fact that Futurama was one of Edd Gould's favourite TV shows.
 * A raygun can also be seen that looks very similar to the ones used by the aliens in the game "Alien Hominid, or by the alien in Castle Crashers.
 * When the aliens point guns at Edd and Matt, one gun was named "The Big Bang". The gun below was named "The Somewhat Smaller Bang".
 * When Tom is shoved into the cockpit, his face looks like someone from The Timewasters, a cartoon by OneyNG and PsychicPebbles.
 * Before the gang comes across Eduardo and his bunch, the TARDIS from Doctor Who floats by in the background.
 * When Edd and the gang are having their laser fight on the ship, Tom shoots Matt with the same gun held by Edd's future self from WTFuture.
 * When Tom is electrocuted by Matt, for a split second, he shapeshifts into his older design (with the monobrow and the three spikes in his hair).
 * When Matt has made the power source full; The percentage shows the number "9,001" which is was also seen in tickets in the arcade in Spares and it's based off the "IT'S OVER 9,000!" meme.
 * In the DeviantArt version, when Tom crashes into the ship's controls, a little bobblehead of Sergio Dominguez (TheCartoonistMan) falls off the panel.
 * When Tom gets shocked, words quickly appear on his hair. These are the same words that are seen on the monkey machine in Spares.
 * Louise Weir's cameo that got blasted by the ships thrusters' shirt says "Future Boing" with a happy duck, then when she becomes half skeletal, it says "Past Boing" with a sad duck. This is a reference to Chris Bingham's vlog series "Past Bing/Future Bing".

Goofs

 * When Edd says "Yup" after noticing the space ship, his mouth doesn't move.


 * When Commander Bai pushes the button in the garbage disposal unit, there are three other aliens that get sucked out of the ship with him, but when the scene with the garbage floating in space starts, there are only two aliens with him.
 * While Tom mutters that he's drunk, he has blood on his face. It is missing later when he talks to Matt, then his face is covered with blood again.

Complete

 * The completed version corrects most of the colours of both parts for consistency (Edd uses his colour scheme from Part 2, Tom and Bai use their schemes from Part 1). The only colouration that stays unchanged is Matt's hoodie colour.
 * All of the goofs from Part 2 were corrected.
 * The Eddsworld intro plays at the beginning.
 * The bug that Matt stepped on in Zanta Claws can be seen still under his shoe.
