Both Sides Of The Force Are Bad When Used By Gang Members


Y'know, it's probably for the best that we don't all have access to The Force.

It's probably safe to say that the number one nerd fantasy in the world is to be a Jedi (well, OK, maybe not after the Prequel Trilogy of movies, but the wish is most likely still in the top ten). That said, a new video on the Web shows just how messed up things would be if local neighborhood gang members had lightsabers and Force powers.

"Epic Jedi Gang Fight" certainly isn't the most originally-titled video on YouTube, but it's a clever satire of the Star Wars franchise. Basically, two gangs (nominally resembling forces of the Empire and the Rebellion) square off against each other in an alleyway, but things get pretty chaotic (and more than a little violent) when the members start busting out lightsabers (including the normal kind, one that looks like a modified set of nunchucks, and several switchblade-sized ones). Between the blasters, Force powers, and lightsabers, only a couple of gang members survive the battle but are busted by a cop who can use the Force, too.

The video short was directed by already been done.

Really? A shaycarl video?

*sigh* Okie dokey.


Also: the Rebel girl was able to do lightning blasts just like the Empire chick. Am I the only one who was thinking "Um... that's just plain wrong"?

It's just a geek thing.


It was kind of silly, but as stated above, Freddie Wong does it better.

Meh, not quite Freddie Wong I'm afraid.
Yeah, some how a bunch of homies light-shanking and force choking eachother in a back alley is not nearly as worrying as this.

That Nunchuk-Lightsaber is the best idea ever. I want one now. Lucas, that's a hint.

Clearly they're all just Sith with color-coded teams.

This doesn't pass as news. The escapist main page is also for things they find cool. This counts.

So what if it isnt news its just a little video that someone at the escapist liked and wanted to share it. I mean its not great and not as good as Freddie W. But still worth just a watch.

I like when they share cool videos I'd never see otherwise. :(

But best part of the video, kid cop by far. I feel safer knowing that he has our backs if Jedi gangs break out into fights.

My point exactly, at least they're killing each other. Oh and that's not the worst one, Jedi A-Holes Strike Back...it's scarier.

Eh, I'll stick with this one here. Thanks.

Caution: Foul language abound... or something.


Where can I find that song though?
