Death Star Canteen

Eddie Izzard's famous bit from his live show 'Circle' (2000). Yeah, it's been done in Lego, but what the hell, let's give it a go anyway... :) Not suitable for children, due to the amount of f*cking swearing in it. Just so you know.

I don't care what anyone says, this is canon to me. DEATH BY TRAY IT SHALL BE!

[@kin4386]

Indeed it is..x3

[@BidoofTrain]

+JediKnightwing OMG I timed that so well. I came down to the comments, and your comment had "Death by tray it shall be!" as he said it.

[@garethwright7248]

JediKnightwing yea cannon so cannon lol

[@CaptainMaggott]

JediKnightwing yep

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

actually, Vader only ate actual food in his pressurized meditation chamber, his suit injected nutrients into his body directly.

[@theaussiebackflipboy]

I remember the one time I saw Eddie Izzard in Australia and he was doing his new act and everyone in the audience started shouting "Death Star canteen" and he said something like "No, I'm not doing that this time" but the audience kept on so he got out his mobile and found the clip and just held his phone up to the microphone for the amount of time the skit went for - the audience went wild.

[@jackrussell3084]

Not sure why they went wild for.

[@RonaldMoD]

Oh, lord, that was the best anecdote ever! Wish I had been there 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

[@fgdj2000]

In Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, some stormtroopers are moaning about having no trays on the Death Star I think. This was probably a reference to this amazing sketch!

[@ziggy72]

More than likely. Why, with the power of the Death Star, can't we get a dry tray?!

[@Ally.Cat.252]

That's Jeff Vader that is

[@fightingfalcon777]

“No-no! I’m Darth-I’m Darth Vader, I’m not Jeff-Jeff, y’-y’know, fuck it. I’m Jeff Vader.”

[@jimstanga6390]

CANTEEN COOK (sotto voce) “Blimey...Why don’t you just dry the trays with a single thought?” VADER (over hearing cook, whirls and menaces with a pointed finger) “DON’T TEST ME, SMALL MAN! I WILL BURY YOU WITH A TRAY!” CANTEEN COOK “Woo-Hoo...someone got up on the wrong side of a stasis chamber...”

[@Ally.Cat.252]

“Oh I see the food is hot I’m sorry I didn’t realise…”🤣

This never gets old and what a cool revamp .

[@turbobrony1472]

Now that's something you don't quite see in the Star Wars film... it's so darn funny!!

[@ppheanix]

Yeah... and we don't see anyone taking a dump either ! How do Storm Troopers do THAT in the middle of a scene shoot. I guess if they were to break ranks and leave the set, they would be killed with a single thought... from the Director !

[@gnowyrret7450]

yes, although we are accustomed to the Lego version, this brings a new dimension to the sketch, so well done and keep up with the good work

[@stevencooke6451]

This version does include the ending, and a neat version of the Star Wars Theme.

[@TiMonsor]

the ending bit, the credits song - so touching, great job

[@spaceboffin]

Genius! Nice to see a revamp. Still love the Lego one as well.

Now THAT would be a contest to see ! Canteen lady who could KILL with half a glance !

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The visuals went perfectly with the comedy piece. I also loved the Pink Droid clip at the end.

[@evilmario6061]

Animation is great, the 'script and dialogue [and imagination]' are 100% Eddie Izzard

[@janetturner5560]

great animation. Pink Droid is so awesomely well done, great articulation on the guitars. Love the way you have trays floating as Vader says did you dry these in an amazon rain forest. There is a little town in the state of Washington that is called, Vader. About 500 people live there. There is a Facebook page but no mention of a Star Wars Festival. It is almost a ghosttown.

[@Schlem]

Brilliant work, mate!

[@gerardburton3741]

Just loved Pink Droid.

[@ziggy72]

Me too :)

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

I still think the stop motion one that uses Lego characters is better than this CGI one. The audio quality and improvisational dialogue just works better with that medium in terms of appearance.

[@ziggy72]

I never tried to compete with the Lego one - didn't even watch it until after I made mine, so I wouldn't be influenced by it. And you're allowed to like both 😀

[@ziggy72]

This comment was actually held for review by KZbin because of 'blocked words' - I never blocked any of these words. I do have the 'hold potentially inappropriate comments for review' option turned on, so I guess Google is pre-blocking Joe Rogan just in case I find him... inappropriate? It's the only term in your post I can think of that they'd block. Free speech is dead on KZbin.
