The release ofRogue Oneis a little more than a week away. At this point, there are seemingly countless TV spots and trailers to keep up with. That being the case, hardcoreStar Warsfans are either a little fatigued with largely the same footage being re-edited or they simply don’t want to see anything else until the movie hits theaters next week. So, instead, you can watch this hilariousStar Wars fan filminspired by the very firstStar Wars Story.
YouTuberDarren Wallacerecently uploaded the video to hisYouTubechannel, titledStar Wars: Rogue Wha?, which appropriately starts off with the tagline “The following makes no sense,” because none of it really does, but it is still very enjoyable. It consists of three very short but verygreat comedy skits, all having to do withStar Wars: Rogue One. The entire video clocks in at 2:23, but it doesn’t have to be long to do the trick. ForStar Warsfans and potentially a good way to help get by until the actual movie comes out next week.
The first of the three shorts starts off on the beaches of the planet Scarif, or the beach planet that was shown at the end of the firstRogue One: A Star Wars Storyteaser where the Rebels were going head-to-head with theAT-ACT walkers. In it,Darren Wallaceenvisions a much more ridiculous and entertaining way for the Rebels to defeat the walkers. Granted, it is pretty hard to beat shooting one in the face with a rocket launcher, but this comes pretty close. There is also a good bit poking fun at the new Tie Striker, which may look cool but this skit sort of pokes a little fun at the seemingly impractical design. Warning: there is vomit.
Lastly,Darren Wallacedecided to have some fun with the highly advertisedDeath Troopers. Since the early days of the ad campaign forStar Wars: Rogue One, Disney and Lucasfilm have been promoting the all black Death Troopers very heavily. Since we don’t know much about them, save for their ominous name, he decided to just make a heavy metal music video with Death Troopers in it. As it turns out, the song is actually pretty good, as far asStar Warsinspired metal songs go.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyis going to be the first everStar Warsmovie to take place outside of the mainSkywalker storyline. It will be telling the tale of the Rebels actually got their hands on the plans for the Death Star, which was originally teased in the opening crawl ofStar Wars: A New Hopeback in 1977.Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyopens on December 16 and pre-sale tickets are available now.
