Palpatine Raps

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural. One of them is throwing rap beats in Star Wars. But Star Wars is already full of unnatural things, so why not make the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise into a rap song? All it takes is some imagination, an artificial intelligence program, and a willingness to offend the few prequel purists that still exist.

This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as AI shenanigans in the Star Wars universe. Another scene from Revenge of the Sith by a different YouTuber makes Palpatine a head banger as he delivers his climactic political speech declaring the birth of the empire in a metal song.



This desire among a faction of Star Wars fans to turn the saga into a musical might eventually get the attention of Disney/Lucasfilm as they continue their quest to wring every possible dollar out of the franchise. (via Born in Space)
