Wrong, yet amusing

I have to admit, I hesitate to post this, because for people like me - who grew up with the "classic" Star Wars movies (the ones generally now termed "numbers 4, 5, and 6" in the supposed trilogy-of-trilogies. And don't get me started on the "prequels." Just, don't. I don't know if it was because I was a cynical adult by the time they came out or if Lucas lost some of his storytelling wonder or what...but I remember watching the first prequel with my brother and sister in law, and leaning over to him and whispering, "This is like watching a stupid U.N. session. Where are the heroics?")

But anyway. I have deeply fond memories of the first movies (especially the first one), and Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of my favorite characters in them, so as I said...this almost seems like a bit of blasphemy.

But it made me laugh so hard. Check out their reactions at the very end. I find this kind of thing hilariously funny, for some reason - when two things that should not go together are put together, and the dialog or the reactions or whatever seem to work.

You know who else didn't take kindly to the Nyan Cat?

Yep. You guessed it.

perfect timing! I've been re-watching these with the audio commentary. I would love to hear their reaction to the nyan cat.
