Summary: a video podcast interviews an internet video star about his lip syncing to music by another band who used someone else’s music to make a tribute to someone else’s movie.

I love the internet.

The latest webisode of Amber MacArthur’s commandN featured an interview of Youtube’s Corey Vidal. His list of contributions to the online video community is extensive, but he’s perhaps best known for his lip-syncing to Moosebutter’s a cappella tribute to Star Wars. The music features classic John Williams arrangements and Star Wars themed lyrics.

I could go on, but that pretty much covers it. Here’s the video in question, to officially kickoff the season:

Now that we are in the election afterglow, or aftermath (it depends greatly on your own point of view) it’s time to look at some election year humor with our Star Wars glasses on. Funny or Die recently posted a funny video featuring viciously competitive campaign ads in a race between Lando Calrissian and Emperor Palpatine as Leader of the Galaxy. I vote Funny.
