This is utter genius – combining Steve Jobs’ unveiling of the Apple iPad with the scene from Star Wars in which the attack on the Death Star is planned. The Rebel Alliance clearly aren’t Mac fanboys.
It’s the oldest trick in the book to combine audio and video from two different sources, but it really depends which choices are made as to whether it’s successful or not.
This particular mash-up works far too well. It has Steve Jobs showing the iPad off to the pilots embarking on the mission to blow up the Empire’s Death Star. Even Hans Solo and Chewbacca are there, bored as usual.
My favorite part is when someone in the crowd shouts, “Bullshit” after Jobs describes the iPad as much better than a laptop and a smartphone. Or when Stephen Fry pops up as C3PO at the end. Fantastic.
