Found this and thought it was hilarious. If this is in the wrong forum mods feel free to move it, but it is about Star Wars so here it goes:

Brilliant!

I prefer the Dressed to Kill death star - full of British actors, opening doors and going

'oh, I'm...oh.'
'what is it, Lt. Sebastian?'
'Just the rebels, sir... they're here'
'My god, man. Do they want tea?'

"They have a flag! How dastardly cunning of them!"

Found another link for it, enjoy

It would appear that the link I posted is to a different Eddie Izzard Star Wars inspired bit of comedy

. It's still entertaining. I will continue to try and find the other one

It is? What was in the OP video? Have I missed something?

Here's the British version of Star Wars, in which the dash cunning rebels have brought a flag (it's towards the end).

Both the Sebastian and the flag parts are references to earlier parts of the show.

Honestly, just go out and buy 'Dressed to Kill' and watch the whole thing because otherwise you simply won't get half the stuff in the Death Star section.

Which is one of the reasons I love Eddie Izzard. He actually remembers stuff he's done earlier in the show, and drops references to it.

The Sebastian thing is actually in the clip I posted, though because of El Moose Monstero's comment I must conclude that this was not the clip that was in the OP.

Eddie is very good at it, but it's a comedic technique that can become quite horrible when lesser comedians try it.

His bits are quite good. I've seen his stuff on star trek as well.

"Yes, now, the mission will be me, because I'm captain, Spock, and Anders from accounting. Hope he makes it."

There's 2 things from "Dressed to Kill." The first is in the British Bad Guys section, the other is the Death Star Cantina. The OP linked to the British Bad Guys one, I linked to the Cantina one. You linked to the British Bad Guys one, so you're good, you've seen it all now

Oh good, I was afraid I'd have missed an extra rare skit or something.

But the Death Star canteen is actually from Circle. I know, for I have the DVDs and have seen the alternate versions that were on TV a few years back, too

Ah, I thought they were both from "Dressed to Kill," my mistake. As far as I know, after some Google-fu there are no other Star Wars skits, although there is a Star Trek one.

And a Doctor Who one

There's an Eddie Izzard Doctor sketch? And you didn't provide a LINK?!

I'm starting to love Eddie. I watch his show on FX every week, and I scoped all of his stuff on YouTube. I doubt its a coincidence that on his show the youngest son is gender-fluid and handled with dignity.

Why have the Daleks got a plunger? jokes just aren't half as funny after you've seen them crush someone's skull.

. .. Where is his makeup?

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2007-05-21 01:16pm

He's wearing nail varnish if you watch carefully; as time goes on, presumably as being a transvestite became something that people were more prepared to deal with, he gets progressively more adventurous. If you look at Definite Article and Unrepeatable, there's very little - compare that to Dress to Kill, Circle and Sexie, and he's considerably more extravagant in his clothing. Especially in Sexie, when he spends half the show talking about his false breasts IIRC.

Enforcer Talen · Post by **Enforcer Talen** » 2007-05-21 02:02pm

Ah, ok. Ive only seen him in Dressed to Kill, so was confused.
