Comedy: There must have been a Death Star Canteen...

This is a real gem currently on YouTube.

What do you get when you combine the Comedian Eddie Izzard, Lego Animation and Star Wars? Well this really...



If you're a Storm Trooper based on the Death Star and it's time for your lunch then make sure you've got a tray. You'll need a tray.

Pure genius! :op

Star Wars Gangsta Rap! We got Death Star, We got Death Star !



You find all sorts of weird things on YouTube. Some things a bit too weird actually and some things that are just so poor they should never have been uploaded in the first place. What was the uploader thinking? Good grief!

Thankfully the Star Wars Gangster Rap is not one of them. This is pretty good in fact. A good piece of harmless fun. There are a few versions of the Gangster Rap currently available to view in the vaults of YouTube, but this cartoon one is probably one of the cleanest! :op

I don't wish to disappoint you, but the Gungan Jar Jar Binks isn't in any of them... unless I've missed him and in which case, that is probably for the best. A rapping Gungan is something that should never be seen or heard outside the most terrible of Nightmares... and only then on special occasion... one of those occasions that occur once a lifetime if you're unlucky.

This scruffy nerf herder's got to go now, the Empire have discovered my hidden base... again.

Star Wars: Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi (Original Trailer)

Star Wars: Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi, the original trailer. These original trailers are epic. Wish they had made them all like this, but that's just a personal preference. All are pretty good.



Star Wars: Episode 5 - Return of the Jedi was released in 1983 and is set immediately after Episode 4 - The Empire Strikes Back.

In this final instalment of the space saga, our heroes must first rescue Han Solo who has been encased in carbonite and then tackle the mighty Empire's new and much more powerful second Death Star. Luke Skwalker is forced to face Darth Vader for a second time.

Return of the Jedi was the first to introduce the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt. The character was later to appear in the remastered version of Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Also Episode 6 was to see the appearance of the Ewoks on the Planet of Endor.

The Budget of the movie was $32.5 Million and its gross revenue worldwide is over $475 Million.

Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope (The Original Trailer)

The fourth Episode of the Star Wars Saga, but this historically is where Star Wars originally began in the Movie Theatres.

The Movie was a colossal success, becoming one of the most successful and influential films of all time. Below is the original trailer.



Episode 4 - A New Hope is set 19 years after the events of Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith and sees the start of the Rebellion against the Empire. The Empire have just completed construction of their dreaded Death Star and plan to wipe out the Rebellion before it can grow any further.

Most notably this is where the smuggler Han Solo and his ship, the Millennium Falcon enter the Star Wars Universe.

With a budget of a comparatively low $11 Million, Star Wars A New Hope went on to gross over $775 Million at Movie Theatres.

Later in the 1990's George Lucas was to re-release the Movie with new digital effects and added scenes that had been originally cut.
