That was the most bizarrely hilarious thing I've heard in ages. I know nothing about Cardi B beyond her being a pop singer; where on Earth Tatooine did all those sounds come from??

Episode I is here

Yes but, but, but, that's Episode VII, not II.

I'm so confused. Has something recently changed?

No no it's episode 1 of Cardi B doing the sound effects. The videos are made up of clips from all the Star Wars films.

OK...fair enough...

But is nothing sacred?

(Ah, I guess I should better ask that question to George L.?)

Are these sounds she actually makes, and are they affiliated with this W.A.P. all the kids are talking about?

I'm with Greg Ace. Unaware of the inspiration, but I loved it.

Idolizing icons of childhood leads to gatekeeping. Gatekeeping leads to othering. Othering... leads to contempt.

Exactly what I expected it to be 😂

“Is this children’s movie about space wizards not too serious to mock with rap sounds” - is that basically the thrust of “is nothing sacred”

That was exactly the kind of stupid thing I needed right now. Thank you.

That GR-75 transport vessel sailed a long time ago, to a galaxy far, far away.

This is fun!

I assumed the objection "is nothing sacred" was about marring Her Majesty Cardi B. the First with an association to Star Wars.

Star Wars has clearly been consumer pop culture trash for 4 decades now.
