A few things before I give you the link. First, I don't drink Coke or anything similar, and I'm not about to. Second, I am what you might call a
true fan of
Star Wars - love it, always have, yet I see the flaws (albeit to ignore them), and as a true fan I love a good parody.
Robot Chicken and
Lego Star Wars crack me up.
Then, whilst randomly browsing Discovery articles on Chrome, I found something that totally had me helpless. I suspect the Five-Oh-First had a hand in this, as they did in Season 1 of
Andor - when Moff Gideon attacked, they hadn't enough Stormtroopers.
Enter the 501st, who doubtless jumped at the chance to appear in anything from
Star Wars. They often do charity events and the like.
I was going to summarise
this, but it doesn't need it. Not since
Galaxy Quest have I seen a better-made parody, but like
Galaxy Quest, though it
is a parody, it's a
respectful one. I couldn't stop laughing, and bookmarked the site.
And if those lightsabres weren't just effects, especially the one the Darth Maul lookalike had, I
want one!
