Awesome Star Wars

James Farr continues his Star Wars and Super Smash Bros. mashup with a retelling of The Empire Strikes Back. Watch Link Z-target a massive Octorok, train with an electric-type Jedi and learn who is father is. Part two here.

Profiles in History is auctioning off Han Solo’s weapon of choice. Harrison Ford (and perhaps Mark Hamill also) used this non-firing DL-44 Blaster in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Jedi knight Merve Bushwhacker and some bloody thirsty rebels go after a Sith lord who’s hoarding all of the land’s beer. Star Wars Downunder is a silly tale filled with more Aussie jokes than we can recognize. Plain English captions available.

James Farr’s latest mashup crosses the worlds of Nintendo and Star Wars, retelling A New Hope with characters from Super Smash Bros. Follow the adventures of Link Skywalker as he tries to save the galaxy and master the Triforce.

With a little CGI and editing, this deleted scene from The Phantom Menace features something Star Wars fans have been longing for since the very first time Jar Jar Binks uttered “meesa”. Though we thought he died on Alderaan.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Alan Rickman impression didn’t really hit the mark. But as he showed on the Graham Norton Show, his Chewbacca voice is so good. So good that he drove Harrison Ford to a flashback. Skip to 1:00.

An achingly short collection of bloopers from the filming of the original Star Wars trilogy. These clips and more are included in the The Making of Star Wars Enhanced Edition eBook. The Stormtroopers are hilarious.

Fairly Trill’s unexpectedly catchy mashup of Return of the Jedi’s fish-faced Admiral Ackbar, with Will Ferrell’s ridiculous Robert Goulet SNL sketch, set to the tune of Snoop Dogg’s Sexual Seduction. Ladies look out: It’s a trap!

Here’s Emperor Palpatine in the finale of Return of the Jedi using lines spoken by Mark Hamill as the Joker. Listen closely for the other guest voice. How freaky would it be if Palpatine was actually Luke from another time?

Jerry Bennett’s wearable mashup envisions a world in which Admiral Ackbar works alongside Peter Venkmann, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler (and Winston Zeddemore) – sucking up ghosts and slimers with their proton packs.

(NSFW: Language) World of Heroes capped off YouTube’s Geek Week with a raunchy speed dating session at the famous Mos Eisley Cantina. Watch it and find out what else J.J. Abrams’ initials, “Dark Side” and “trilogy” could stand for.

Despite his size, Chewabacca likes to hide out in the most unlikely of places. First we found him in a cabinet door, and now he’s inside this guy’s electric guitar. Chewie, is that you?

An early screen test of the Boba Fett costume, as sound designer Ben Burtt describes the Joe Johnston-designed outfit, including many details we never knew. It’s weird to see him without his trademark green and red armor.

Isaac Moores brings life to Patton Oswalt’s marvelously ad-libbed monologue from Parks & Recreation, where he laid out his suggestion for Star Wars Episode VII. It’s actually barely animated, but it does the job.

Darth Vader hunts down two unlucky Jedi in The Stunt People’s follow-up to their viral hit. If you want more, pledge to their Kickstarter to help fund a mini-series. Best watched in full screen and high-def with headphones on.

(NSFW: Language) YouTuber TheGamerChick commemmorated Star Wars Day with these funny takes on what infomercials might look like in a galaxy far, far away. Juuuust Dip It in Carbonite!

A short tease for the upcoming sequel to Star Wars: Uncut, a crowdsourced remake of Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. So far, over 1500 participants have contributed. Claim your scene by 05/01/13 and be part of the final film!

1A4 Studio’s hyperactive speedruns just get better and better. Their latest episode takes on Star Wars Episode IV. It actually does a good job of summarizing the movie while sneaking in a couple of jokes.

(NSFW: Language) Harrison Ford dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the Jackie Robinson biopic 42. He agreed to a brief Q&A with the audience on one condition: no Star Wars questions. Then it got really weird.

Patton Oswalt guested on Parks & Recreation as a citizen who stages a filibuster to block a city council vote. They let him improvise his scene. His delaying tactic? Proposing a mind-blowing story for Star Wars Episode VII.

(NSFW: Language) A compilation of things that sound like Chewbacca, but aren’t Chewbacca – ranging from cats, to vacuum cleaners, to toilets, to a guy being tased. We always though Chewie sounded like this.
