JEDI JACKASS

Now here’s a a fine specimen of what the young people these days call a “mashup”.

Take two sources that have nothing to do with each other and mix them in a video blender and out comes something new.

That’s how I would explain it. For a better definition you should look up the word in ye olde wikipedia in your local public library (if you still have one). Or “google it”, whatever that means. All this internet mumbo-jumbo is making my head dizzy. It also could be the fumes from the cans of paint in the garage I’m sitting in as I can’t afford a decent office. The life of a freelancer, what a joy! Thank you, world economy, for making my life even more miserable than I could possibly imagine.

But I digress.

This video features well known Star Wars characters doing crazy things that you would normally see on the MTV show Jackass (also available on DVD, you know.) That’s why it’s called Jedi Jackass and it works suprisingly well. I can imagine that this is what the people in the Star Wars universe are up to when there’s nothing to watch on holonet, or all the womp rats have been shot but there’s still time to waste.

Can these reviews from well-renowned papers lie?

“A new low”

“A plunge into depravity”
-Mos Eisley News

No, they can’t. So you know it’s good. Because it’s bad. And this Star Wars/Jackass mashup is tantalisingly awesome. Really.
