Because that’s what the Star Wars cantina scene really needed – Noel Gallagher and David Beckham

7 June 2010 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Lucasfilm has a reputation for messing around with the original Star Wars, adding in CGI, changing the story – you know, little things. Now it’s put together a remixed version of the famous, much messed around cantina scene for an Adidas ad.

As well as Harrison Ford and Alec Gunness, the remixed scene now features David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, Ciara, Jay Baruchel and DJ Neil Armstrong. Enjoy?

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
