Voice Actor All-Stars Read The “Star Wars Trilogy”
by Perry Michael Simon on May 24, 2012
Here’s Billy West, Tara Strong, Maurice LaMarche, John DiMaggio, Kevin Conroy, Jess Harnell and Rob Paulsen reading the Star Wars Trilogy as a radio play at Emerald City Comic Con this year, using their own character voices. Pinky the Stormtrooper! Shatner C-3PO with R2-D2 Walken! Really, what else can anyone add to that? Can we suspend the moratorium on the use of the word awesome so we can call this awesome, which it is?
You’ll need to clear out an hour to watch it all. You’ll want to.
HT: Brian Walton at Nerdist News, who alerted me to this and made me ask myself “HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?”
O. M. G.
This is seriously epic…. and I haven’t even watched it yet!
hey Perry, I think Rob Paulsen is doing C3PO as George Takei, not Shatner.
It’s both. Characters in the “play” get different treatment in the course of the story. Batman as narrator is the constant.
oops. maah bad. i wasn’t aware they were playing multiple scenes with different characters. DOH. *facepalm*
I am seriously losing my shit – about 40 minutes in.
You should check out the Emerald City Comicon YouTube page. There is another video up with the same group doing a 1 hour panel featuring multi-character readings of The Wizard of Oz, Silence of the Lambs, and The Princess Bride!
My nerd boner is so hard right now.
There’s a second version doing different voices but same people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVWxGSRRKnE
Sorry. This is a version based on “The Wizard of Oz”. Awesome!
I needed that after being in SQL/PHP hell all day. Damn funny.
When John DiMaggio did Paul Lynde I lost it, fucking hilarious!
John’s impression of Tracy Morgan was totally spot-on! It’s like he took that voice behind a middle school and got it pregnant!
I was really waiting for the Timmy Turner “Uhh… Internet?” but alas no such luck. Although I totally lost it at Zoidberg.
Holy crap buckets of nerd gold, this is AWESOME. Thanks guys!
I laughed so hard I disturbed my neighbors.
Can’t wait for someone to sync as much of the video up as possible. This all kinds of awesome!
My wife is rolling her eyes at my laughgasms. Epic. Or in Hard-speak.. “Amazing!!”
Epic, Awesome, Amazing, Incredible… these words are not strong enough to show how much I love this.
Seattle has the best of everything. I is jealous!!!
I need to download this & archive it, strip out the audio and burn a copy to go with my Star Wars radio drama CDs. Awesome and brilliant.
lame…
this is absolutely hysterical. I can’t wait to see the other vids on youtube.
OH MY GLOB! IT’S MY LOVE OF STAR WARS AND THE GOODNESS OF MY CHILDHOOD! COMIC-CON I LOVE YOU! I mean the TARA STRONG and ROB PAULSEN + Star Wars? That equals fangasm yep , my own little fit of fan girl screams and giggles, I am forever in debt of Comic-Con for making such a masterpiece come true. I think I’m going to cry TT_TT! Scratch that I already am! I mean BUBBLES as DARTH VADER… SO PERFECT! If they had chosen anyone else I would have been offended…. BENDER! FRY! And best for last… RAVEN AS C3-PO *.*! AWESOMENESS!! I can’t say more ’cause I’ll end up listing everything XD.
…is there more? I want more….so much more. That’s not even a full movie. …more? PLEASE GOD LET THERE BE MORE!!!!!
