Until, that is, he is made out of Legoa nd voiced by Eddie Izzard.And you may struggle to take Stormtroopers seriously ever again, after watching their red hot moves on the dancefloor.1. Death Star Canteen.You don't have to be a Star Wars fan to find this funny, but if you are there is no Force in the galaxy that can stop you from collapsing in a quivering mess by the end of this slice of genius.Seriously, 23 million views can't be wrong.
The skit is actually soundtracked by an excerpt from Eddie Izard live in concert when he is musing on the likelihood that the Death Star must have had a canteen to feed its troops and workers.Hey, even Lord Vader must get hungry some time, right?Try to get past the bit where he orders Pasta All'Arrabbiata and is told to take a tray without falling off your seat.2. Dancing StormtroopersWe can't speak for teh rest of the galaxy, but the WorldWideWeb is awash with dancing Stormtroopers.It's hard to narrow down our favourite, but this one just snatches teh prize in it's sequined glove.Yes, it's disco diva Darth and his rendition of Michael Jackson's Beat It.Recorded at Disney's Star Wars weekends, the choreography is spot on and shows that there is life after you hang up your evil overlord cloak. Or, in fact, swish it around in time to MJ.3. Hell's ClubThere is plenty of dancing here, but this is a far more serious affair.It is a jaw-droppingingly spectacular mash up of countless classic films, kicking off in the nightclub where Obi Wan takes young Anakin.Sharon Stone from Basic Instinct cuts a rug (rather than flashes one) alongside Staurday Night Fever's John Travolta.But then we see Travolta from Pulp Fiction and a dazzling mix of Tom Cruise from Cocktail and Collateral.Arnie's Terminator takes on Blade and Robocop in a bloody shoot out that ends in tragedy while Darth Vader battles Obi Wan on
Seth MacFarlane's outrageous comedy cartoon series has a long-standing tradition of inserting Star Wars gags.Of course, you could sit downand watch every episode ever made, but luckily some clever clogs on Youtube has saved us all the trouble and cobbled them all together.It opens with a Jabba teh Hut moment where he is leering over Leia and saying something that sounds suspiciously like " Wookiee nipple pinchy."It's all gloriously downhill from there.CLICK HERE TO READ OUR FULL STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS REVIEW Star Wars premiere in Hollywood Celebrities attend the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in Hollywood. Harrison Ford, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and John Boyega arrive at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in Hollywood 5. Star Wars Frozen mash-up:Let It Flow is catchy little reworking of the insanely mind-numbing song from Frozen.Painstakingly assembled clips from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith make it looks liek the Star Wars chaarcters are singing the cheekily rewritten lyrics.
It's the touching story of a simple boy who dreams of becoming an evil monster."Let the Force rage on," he sings. "Vader is a better name anyway."Some of you asked for it when we showed you the LEGO Steampunk Tie Fighter and here it is: a LEGO Steampunk Pod Racer, the Darling Apollo IV driven by Trenton Telgaard. It's also part of the LEGO Steam Wars contest, like the brilliant London Imperial Shuttle after the jump (right next to a hilarious LEGO animation set to Eddie Izzard's monologue on Darth Vader's at the Death Star's cafeteria. A must for a Monday morning.) I don't know about you, but I find that quite funny. Funny in a Queen's Seaside Rendezvous steampunkcampish kind of way, but funny. As opposed to hilarious, like Izzard's monologue. Definitely one of the funniest things I've found in a long time. [The Brothers Brick and LEGO Steam Wars Contest]So 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' will be released in the coming days and the world has lost its collective mind.Forgive me if I don't get excited, I'm yet to see a 'Star Wars' film.
The insanity surrounding 'The Force Awakens' started back in October when the trailer was released, and then reached tsunami proportions when Harrison Ford appeared on every possible Australian TV program and in the flesh at the Sydney Opera House. "I'm sure Harrison will notice me if I wear my Han Solo costume." There were a couple of blokes dressed as Indiana Jones, who would have drawn death stares from the Jar Jar Binks types. That's the insidious power of 'Star Wars' -- I've never seen a film, but I know the bloody characters. Ford always seems to be fairly bemused by the whole 'Star Wars' thing and the legions of fans, which was evident during his interview with (self-confessed fan) Leigh Sales. Sure, 'Star Wars' was his meal ticket and propelled his career at warp-factor speed (I know, wrong sci-fi term), but Ford often uses the words "work" and "a job" to describe his time seated next to his hirsute co-pilot. The first 'Star Wars' film was released a long time ago in a year far, far away: 1977.
The same year as Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee, and the Bee Gees released the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack. No doubt hardcore 'Star Wars' fan types have drawn some form of nerdish, non-existent, vortex-time-space-continuum-parallels between all three. I was a young kid in 1977 and didn't buckle to peer and advertising pressure to get on board the (Harrison Ford leg-fracturing) Millennium Falcon (see, I know that much). I was more interested in chasing girls, kicking a footy and cricket in the backyard than playing with Luke Skywalker figurines. Back then, being a smart arse, too-cool-for-school type of kid, I refused to see the film everyone was talking about. Thirty eight years later, nothing has changed. Each to their own. Although, I'd much rather read about these hardcore 'Star Wars' fans (have I used the word 'geeks' yet?) shooting each other in imaginary interplanetary battles at 'Star Wars' conventions than psycho-terrorists on the streets of Paris doing the real thing, or a would be American President shooting his mouth off.
Another issue I have with the whole 'Star Wars' palaver is the concept of the money-grubbing prequel. They squeeze all the narrative and cash out of the several thousand sequels, and then someone pipes up with "I know! How about a prequel or twelve?" Sequels and prequels should be banned by the UN. (Let's just hope reality TV shows don't catch on. Imagine a Kardashian prequel -- the pre-school years. It probably wouldn't work because it would be before the days of selfies, belfies and lip fillers, but if you steal my idea Momager Kris Jenner, I want a cut.) I have to say my all-time favourite 'Star Wars' scene is a stand up comedy bit by Eddie Izzard which some genius set to stop-motion Lego. The scene is set in the Death Star canteen and features the immortal line from that asthmatic bloke in black: "It's not a game of who the f*ck are you." The wickedly ingenious concept of killing people with trays and/or thoughts and a penne arrabiata shout out is brilliant. If all the dialogue in the 'Star Wars' films was as good, Eddie Izzard played every character and they were created in Lego, I'd be a lightsaber-wielding fan-boi.
