Synopsis
The Star Wars Gangsta Rap loosely mixes plotlines from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in the Special Edition), satirically recreating several of the more famous scenes and dialogue.
The music video starts out on the back of the Star Destroyer, then reveals the image of Emperor Palpatine who claims "it's not the east or the west side." Darth Vader appears as a rapper sidekick and replies "No, it's not." This continues until the Emperor says "it's the DARK side", at which point Vader says "You are correct." The Emperor then threatens to blow up the planets of "all you Vader haters out there."
Darth Vader and the Emperor trade raps with each other during the first verse, until Vader proclaims, "he will join us or die, WE'VE GOT DEATH STAR!". Images of the Death Star flash in the background, and the line is repeated by Vader, while stormtroopers do a gangster rap wave in the background.
The next verse begins in Luke Skywalker's moisture farm on Tatooine, with his uncle Owen Lars shouting commands at him. Luke raps the second verse, with C-3PO and R2-D2 appearing in the background.
In the next verse, Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke to "use the force and run...", whereupon Luke takes his X-wing fighter to Dagobah. Yoda appears next, and he and Luke trade raps, until Luke gets back in his X-wing. During a brief intermission, he enjoys a "mighty good gin an' tonic", then flies to Cloud City and confronts Darth Vader. Darth Vader and Luke get into a lightsaber duel, Vader cuts off Luke's hand, then reveals that he is his father.
Han Solo appears in the final verse repeating "Knock him out the box Luke, knock him out..." This is an ode to the outro of the song "Children's Story" by rapper Slick Rick.
