Both have dedicated their lives to honing their magic powers to help free the galaxy from the clutches of an evil emperor. Unfortunately the Church of Scientology’s puppets are way less charismatic than Yoda.

“spreading out her wings” while the x-wings open their… you know… wings. that’s kind of great.
of course, now i have that terrible song stuck in my head so maybe still not worth it.
( also we got tom cruise on a motorcycle in top gun but no mark hamill on a speeder here, i am sad. )

yeah, that’s mainly why it lost me. i’m still twitchy about that song from the FIRST time it was a hit.

I’m usually on board with crossing the geek wires, but the video wasn’t particularly well edited to the music, which it kinda’ needs to be when you’ve got two things that don’t naturally go together.
I welcome the attempt though!

There it is! I was hoping for an Archer reference as soon as I saw the title. Well done, my favorite Internet stranger.

…and now all I can think of is Archer getting paid as a double agent for both the empire and the rebellion! I would pay good money to see that!
That can be the opening to Cassian Andor’s series. Just shoot it in black and white and make it homage to the opening of Craig’s Casino Royale. Cassian takes out double agent Archer.
Archer: Found my handler huh?
K2S0: How did he die?
Cassian: The imperial contact? Not well.
K2S0: Made you feel it, did he? Would you like to know the percentage of how easier the second one is?
Cassian: Shut up K.
Archer: Careful Cassian, you’re in the DANGAAAA

Didn’t Star Wars already meet Top Gun, in Top Gun?
